our new home



This is our new master bath. We put in new flooring and a new toliet. We also painted and put up waynes coating. One room down 10 more to go.

Nolan's closet


We needed to redo the drywall in Nolan's closet and when Ben pulled it all out this is what we found. We thought the 100 year old adobe bricks were really cool.

Carter says "Hi!"


Oct 4, 2007

This is Carter's New room. It is in the attic. Ben did all the
woodwork, refinished the wood floor and even built Carter his bed.
Carter picked out blue stain for the wood. Now all he needs is a wall and a door to finish off his new space which he loves!!

I got to enjoy a week with my two sisters!! We had a great time but did not enjoy digging holes! Ha-Ha

We decided to try a blog to better keep in touch with our family and friends. We just moved into our new house about 4 weeks ago and we have been very busy!! It is 101 years old and is on 1/2 an acre. We have tons of flowers and trees. While moving in and fixing a few things we had to juice grapes and deal with a huge tree of apples. We have made applesauce and apple pie filling so far but still have 1/2 a tree of apples. It's a lot of work but it will be really nice to have these things on hand. Carter started 5th grade this year and ran for vice president. He didn't win but had a good time running. Bailey is in 4th grade and is taking violin lessons. Nolan is in 1st grade and plays soccer. Emmerie is 18 months old and is so much fun to have around. She has finally decided to start talking. Ben is working with the 11 year old scouts which works out nice for Carter. He is very busy at work, but he loves it. I'm just trying to keep up with unpacking, cleaning, canning, and working on projects around the house to make it our own! I'll try to update this often with pictures of the kids so check back every now and again. Also please leave messages or e-mail us at Melinda1037@gmail.com All our love
