It has been a while...... sorry. We have been internetless. The wonderful people at Star West told us where to put our blocks for mounting the satellite to the house. Well guess what, they told us the wrong spot and they are not going to punch holes all over the siding so now guess who is paying, Jordan Robby and I. Rob is totally unaffected. It is killing us.

We got our CO on Friday July 6th. We celebrated with a big bonfire and LOTS of beer. Definitely felt it the next day. So here I am a week later and I have some of the house unpacked. So you get pictures of some of the rooms. Ours is NOT done. I am missing 1 box. Kitchen stuff. All my Pampered Chef stoneware, Tupperware and my strainers. This is a very important box. Moving is a bi*ch.

Here is a quick look. I hope you like.

Well we have been homeless foe three weeks now. Gramps has been kind enough to let the whole famdamily, cat and dog as too, live in Wallace with him but alas that time has ended and we are moving up to the camper foe a week or two while the we finish the house up. Only flooring, outside steps and trim on the main level and we are done. I wanted to just post a couple of quick picks of the trailer removal. That nearly sent me over the edge.  Good thing I had the Cochranes to save the day and a lot of alcohol too! Sam and Ron, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Rob was out of town for the week! Timing is everything, and Sam and Ron took care of me, and my bush. Inside joke. But here they are. We will be without internet and my damn camera broke so pics are all via blackberry. And the quality is poor to say the least. Hopefully my next post will be from the inside.

Two homes and homeless

Ok so I have to just blog a quickie. We have cabinets, counter tops, sorry no pics of those I don't know how I missed it, and tile in.




And we have been having a ton of fun, ha ha. Out with the old!


Removed the deck in just a few hours


That was cool. We had some great helpers for the move.



And now the place is empty, just one problem, the other house is not ready.




So we have been staying at Grandpas.
That has been fun and the kids are getting to spend quality time with him.


We also had 8th grade promotion and we are the proud parents of two high school teenagers. Bring on the wine!

So things have been crazy around here and I know I haven't posted anything but honestly there has been no time.
Robby got a new toy for all his hard work. This one will seal his nickname "deductible" I have a feeling
 And then we have  Reese who is keeping us on our toes. It is a good thing she is so cute because that has saved her. My Mom told me girls are harder to train than boys. Well I don't remeber that but I think it must be true. It surely isn't because she is spoiled.  And she is NOT a wiener dog. Admittedly she does resemble one though.  She is getting so big. I see these pictures and realize how much she has grown
So on to the house. We have been very busy and lots has been done. We are in a hurry now because I decided to sell this.
Did I tell you I have a new love. It is craigslist and turns out I am good at selling stuff. I just need to slow down and not sell before I am ready. So in two weeks we will be down to one home that is not quite there yet. Oh well everyone needs a timeline, I just hurried ours a bit.













 So we have enlisted help and we have great friends who have come over and jumped in to help. We are really blessed and for that I am eternally grateful. We have cabinets, some in, flooring to install, tile and much more but the end is in sight and we are excited. You will not hear from me until the end but I just wanted you all to have a quick update and let you know where we are at, and why I am not posting.
