My house is in shambles and I'm so excited!

Its crazy how someone can be excited about not having a kitchen, but I am. We started out by just putting in new flooring by going from old black tile to lament wood. Fletcher got half way and had to start moving the appliances. Then Fletcher made a point if you want to move the wall, now is your chance. This is something we wanted to do anyways, but thought maybe later. So of course I would say yes lets do it. Now my house is in shambles.


Fletcher, and Prescott (Fletcher's brother) working hard.



When we bought the house we had a plan. We were going to fix it up and sale it again. So when we moved in, it meant doing all of this wile we are living here. There will be mess after mess and So now it will be a bit before I have my kitchen, living room and some of my bathroom back to normal. We painted and put carpet in before we moved in. But we still needed to put in the wood floors, bathrooms to remodel, add some new stairs that will go into the basement, plus a wall to move to make the kitchen bigger, move the laundry room over to a new room we're making by the garage, and not to mention all the landscaping we have to do when summer comes. It definitely has the potential to be great. I just hope I can have the patience to see it through to the end. Because in the end, I have my dream house to be built some 5 Acres eventually.

My kids have been so great through all of this. Here are the latest pictures of the hopes kids. I'm adding a picture of Fletcher. I just thought it was a moment to catch.


Fletcher taking a break after a hard day of work. Katelynn thought he needed something to keep him company.


Katelynn and Mason enjoying the snow.

Mason loves corn dogs. He has corn dogs and chocolate milk running through his blood.

Katelynn and her cousin Charity they just love to dress up.

My little princess.

Mason loves to push around any thing he can find.

Katelynn loves to read story's to Mason

Mason will drop every thing to take a bath and if he wants one and you are not ready to give him a bath. He will do it him self!

Katelynn taking a bath with bubbles. She loves the bubbles.

I am glad you are excited for a mess. That is nice when the mess is over though. The pictures of your kids are cute.

Such a cute picture of Katelyn in the bubbles. You're so lucky that Fletch is a handy man. I can't wait to see your house.

Not too many people would be thrilled about a kitchen in shambles but hey way to look at it on the positive side. We need to figure out a time when we can come visit...maybe when things aren't so hectic.

Hello Kamey! Long time, no see! Your kids are DARLING and they've gotten so big. You guys are seriously amazing to take on a huge project like that - our skill level ends at painting (and that's even questionable). Hope all keeping going great!
