   So much is happening on the house right now it’s hard to know where to begin.  Cabinets should be finished by the end of the week.  The colored stucco is being put on right now.  The power is getting its permanant wires on the outside from the street, and the gas company is supposed to be there today to get that done too.  Brian’s soaker tub is in.  The painters showed up and there were so many people there they said they would come back tomorrow then it’s less crowded.  Brian sent me this one by his phone yesterday.  This is the main cabinet wall in the kitchen.  As you can see some of the painting has been done as well.  Anyway, I am hoping to stop by tomorrow before I leave for Utah.  That’s right folks.  I am headed North again, this time to pick up beef.   I bought a whole cow for $175.  I am splitting it with the family, but we should be set for a while in the beef department. 

   

  

  

  The far wall is where the cooktop and giant hood are going.  You can see the progress on the island there in the middle as well.  The granite we liked for the kitchen turned out to be $40/sq. foot.  So we have someone looking for some remnants of it.  If we can’t find it for half that cost we will have to choos another.

  

  this is the wet bar in the master bedroom.  We will actually have a fridge in the opening there…which I think is absurd but we are doing this to sell it…and appartently folks like that.  I personally will be using the bar area as a changing table. 

  

  The entry from the garage…the begining of lockers and a bench.   And more of the kitchen.

  

  Here is a shot of the color going on the house.  The brown is the color not the gray. 

  I recently took pictures of Amy Jo’s little girl, Jillian…and a few of Weston for their six month birthdays.  Adriane stopped in to add Violet to a few group shots as well.  She is almost 5 months old. 

  

  Here’s Jillian with the infamous flower hat.  I also did a photo shoot yesterday and used it again. 

  

  Three cousins semicooperative.  Wes was chillin’ the whole time.  The girls took turns being fussy.  But as you can see we got one where no one is crying .  Victory!  Jill and Violet are the same size with nearly 2 months between them.  Weston has them both beat by a mile. 

  

  Your’s looks good…let me have a go at it.

  Nice cleavage Wes.  Time for a new shirt. 

  

  Officially six months old. 

  

  Rosie is what I like to call semi-potty trained.  She will go days without an “accident”  and even take naps and go shopping in panties.  But when we are at home and she just doesn’t feel like going to the bathroom to do her duties she reverts back to her evil ways.   I am still pleased with her progress.  By the way, her latest quirk is self diapering.  She insists on putting on her night time diaper herself.  She actually does a good job and it’s one less thing for me.  Way to go Rosie. 

  Serra was assigned to give the scripture and prayer in primary last week.  I was so proud of her.  She memorized it and give it flawlessly.  She has now declared she would like to memorize one each week in FHE…her goal being the ENTIRE body of scripture.  She has 4 down…and only a million to go.   We have been working on the articles of faith.  When she finishes there we will work on the seminary scripture mastery.  That should take us a while.
