Project Extravaganza

Since Jordan is starting school this coming Tuesday we (I) have decided to make a big push to get most of the projects we have on the list done or at least to the point where I can do them on my own. So hopefully in the next couple of weeks we can get 2 big projects done and make room for some more next spring/summer.

The 2 big ones are the deck, which is coming along great, and the front yard, maybe get grass in this fall.
So the deck stairs were the project last weekend and we got them built, stained and pretty much completed. We just have to put a couple more supports in the top part, finish placing th rest of the boards and we are done in the back until next year.

Here are some before and after pics, just for fun:

The front yard is maybe going to be ready for sod by the end of the weekend, we hope! Till, pick up rocks, sprinklers, pick up rocks, and rake it smooth. Sounds easy enough but it will be a miracle if we actually accomplish all that by Saturday night. I'll be sure to put some pics up of what we did on Sunday.

First ever Sleepover!

So Garrett had his first sleep over with his cousin Kate! Celeste and Erik went to a dental conference and so we were able to get Kate for the night and part of the next day! We had so much fun!

Garrett loves Jack!

This little guy just get worn out with all the fun!

Kate loves the jumper!

And the old toys still are some of the coolest!

mmmm, lunch. She only would eat the green beans!

The other morning I went in to check on Garrett and I found this...

Finished Bathroom!

YEAH! We finished the bathroom! Project 1 of 500 done! and it only took us 5 months to do it. Here are the pics to show the finishing touches. Take a look back in March for the beginning and during remodel pics to compare!
