Our girls :)

Here are a few (well...lots) pictures just to show off our girls!!

Cate is obsessed with princesses!!
Lainey is just about walking. She can totally do it, she's still just a little too cautious!



Don't you just love Cates face! Haha












Cate goes potty on the potty all by herself!!

Building...WoW!!

Holy Moly!
We are FINALLY building our homes!!

This is our property. Its hard to tell but we have a gorgeous view. Giant Red Mountains to our Right and Pine Valley to our left!



We started building about 3 weeks ago. The first week was SOOOOO cold. It was already hard enough learning EVERYTHING involved in framing a house and the cold just made it way worse!
Our fingers felt like they were going to shatter!! Ouch!
Its been really fun though!
We have 3 families building together.
Us, Lauren and Adam (My Sis and Bro in law) and Sue and Misty a mother/daughter family.
I can't wait till we are all neighbors and not building anymore :)
Matt and Adam work a lot at their normal jobs so its usually us ladies working away!
We are kinda slow but we are having fun and learning a lot!
I hate nail guns! They are super heavy and way scary. I'm so scared I'm going to accidentally shoot someone! The guys make fun of Lauren and I when we do the sheeting because we are so slow because that gun is so dang heavy!
We also have learned, and use on a regular basis, chop saw, skill saw, measuring tape, pencil, chalk line, impact drill, a gun that shoots into cement (I forgot the name), speed square and a hammer!! At the very beginning of the building process we had a hammering contest, Ha ha! I was so bad! I'm pretty good now :)
Woo woo look at that handsome worker guy!
I've never seen Matt work so hard!

I have to have to HAVE to say
THANK YOU
to so many people that are making this possible!
My mom, sister and grandma watch our kids while Lauren and I work (about 25 hrs a week) all 4 kids two babies and two 2 year olds! That is NOT an easy job. I am so thankful for them!
I'm also thankful for friends and family that have helped build!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
