Basement FINISHED!!

Wahoo!!! The basement is finished! We are all moved in (well mostly, just a few more things needing to be moved), furniture delivered, but we are not decorated yet. We are loving the extra space. I will post pictures soon.

The boys are finishing up basketball. They both have had great seasons. Baseball starts next month!! We are so excited. I love watching the boys play.

More to come soon.......

We have been so busy. I thought maybe it would slow down after the holiday's got over with, boy was I wrong. We had a great Christmas and New Year. We are all ready to tackle a New Year!

We are finishing the rest of the basement. They are hanging sheetrock this week. We are so excited to get it done. Grayce has been wanting her room painted forever, so we painted this past weekend. She choose purple, it really turned out cute. While we were painting Grayce's room Libby kept saying "paint my wall pink", so we painted her room pink. Now that that is done I need to buy new bedding for both of their rooms since neither one of them matches. I would post pictures but my camera is messed up and won't let me put pictures on my computer. Hopefully that will be fixed SOON!


Josh spent this last week in Florida for work. We are glad that was the last trip there. I don't know of any other trips that he has planned, so hopefully he is home for awhile. He tries to ride the horses a few times a week, but that can get hard between work, scouts, kids activites and just everyday life. I am so thankful that he works so hard. I don't know what we would do without him.

Kody and Brady both started basketball. Kody plays with 8th graders this year and he looks like the little guy. He has lots of growing to do in the next year. He has almost passed me up though. Brady has so much fun playing. His friend is on his team and sometimes I think they forget that they have other team mates on the court because all the do is pass to each other. They are so funny! Grayce is in gymnastics and loves it. She smiles the whole time she is there. Last week she got to ring "the bell", because she did something all by herself. She was so excited. Libby is so busy. Most days I can't keep up with her. She is starting to talk so well. She makes us laugh everyday. Sometimes I wish she would stop growing and stay the size she is.

I keep busy taking the kids to and from school, taking them to their activities, cleaning, doing laundry and did I say cleaning? At the first of the year I decided that I was going to try and not be such a clean freak with my house. I'm really trying to not clean my floors everyday. Yes, I mop and vacuum EVERYDAY! I'm having a very hard time not doing it. It's amazing how the mop just ends up in my hands. :-) Well, anyways....We hope everyone is doing well and hopefully soon I will be able to post pictures and give an update of our basement.

Forgetful me

I was going to update our blog, but I just spent the last hour and a half changing the background on our blog. Maybe if I posted more, I would actually remember how to do things.

A little of what we have been doing.....

Kody turned 13 on the 12th of November. I hope I can survive these teenage years. He is good, great kid. We are very proud of him. He also got his first deer. He was very proud. Thanks Grandpa for taking him!!

The boys start basketball soon and Grayce starts gymnastics tomorrow. She is so excited. She has been wanting to do gymnastics forever. I'm sure she will do great!

Josh has been home for a few weeks. He is home until the January, then he will do a bit of traveling again. His job is great. He loves it. (except for the travel part)

We had a great Thanksgiving. It was nice to see the family. We also went and cut a christmas tree over the break. The kids had a blast, they actually got to sled a little bit.

Next week Josh and I head to Vegas for the NFR. We are going with Jade and Amanda, we always have such a good time. We are so excited to go!

More updates to come.....

Halloween and Libby's 2nd birthday.

Ahhhh....Grayce thought Brady and pretty scary looking.

Grayce laughing like a witch.

Brady looks pretty scary. His black hair made all of us laugh. He now wants to die his hair black.

Libby wanted nothing to do with her costume. She went trick or treating just like that.

Libby turned 2 on the 27th. She was so excited about her bike. She rides it all over the house.

She was also excited about her clothes. Thanks to both Grandma's and Grandpa's.

She loved her birthday balloons.

WAHOO soccer is over!

Brady and Grayce both played soccer this year. Brady loved it and played great. Grayce on the other hand....hated it. It was a fight to get her to go every game except for the last one. She was actually excited to go because she knew it was her last one. I don't think we will be doing soccer with her next year. I am glad it is over!! Kody got braces this last week. His mouth sure has been sore. He sure does look different. Kody and Josh went muzzleloader hunting a few weeks ago. Kody missed a few. Oh well, hopefully next year. Josh has been traveling ALOT. We hope he will be able to stay home soon.
