So Much to Write About... But I'll take the Easy Way Out Right Now!!

Dear Dearest Blog,
I've been neglecting you terribly!~ I'm sorry!! There are tons of things I want to blog about, but finding the time hasn't been the easiest here lately. I want to blog about the beautiful little ringlet curls that flow out of my little darling's head... I may change her name to Annie, although not an orphan, she's a pretty good match for her these days with her head of hair. I also want to blog about my little story teller Grayson.. Good stories (not lies). He has really just started to talk and talk and talk (and never stop) here in the last few weeks and gets so excited telling me whole stories instead of just words here and there. He has come quite a long way in a year since he started to talk... I've got stories to blog about of my favorite little ball player as well! Anderson LOOOOOOVES Baseball! He even hit it from the pitching machine tonight instead of the Tee in a game and got to first base. I was so stinkin' proud of him! Although he still daydreams sometimes in the field, I fee like he has a lot of potential with the sport! He's only 5 right, he has a lot of maturing to do to grow into a great player! Brandon loves coaching, but you can tell the kids wear him out! I've also started sewing curtains for the new house!! It's time consuming, but I will be full of pride when I can hang the curtains that I made in our new home. As well as sewing, I've also picked up a new activity that hopefully will put me in the best shape of my life by the time I turn 31! That nursing diet plan is long gone... darn it!!!!!!!! I've started running...ok let's call it jogging right now, but at least it's something. I really want to blog about that too... When I get the chance. I promise dear blog to give you more attention SOON!!!
Love, Amy

But for now, I'll leave you with some new pictures of the inside of the house... yes, there is an inside too! Things are coming along nicely. We will be getting carpet and hardwoods next week and then they will start fixing things and working on the outside too.

Our entryway staircase (the rails will be stained the same color as our hardwoods)

Morning Room

Brandon inspecting the kitchen


Oops... looks like there's some fixin' to do...



Kitchen again (love all that drywall dust still flying around)
Outside again. The shutters will not stay baby blue (as pretty as it looks... :) ) We will also be getting iron spindle railing on the front porch, which I'm super excited about! You only get it if you have more than two steps and I was so excited when they did our foundation and saw that we had 4!
Master Bathroom
Naked Kitchen (before granite and backsplash) I'm so excited about this kitchen... Don't even get me started about the one I'm cooking in right now. Only three burners that work and the house is so slanted that the pots will slide off the burners.. NOT FUN!
And finally, some pictures of the kids, because we still love our children even though all I seem to be putting up here is the house lately.. I'm mainly doing house pictures these days for family to see since it's changing so often and they can't just drive by it!!!! Enjoy!
First time up to bat...
Proud!
My babies!
She's too cool!

New Pictures of the House

The house is coming right along. We are scheduled to close on May 21st and are getting excited! They have been working hard on the drywall all week and finished it up today. They started on the hardi-plank on Friday and have it about half way done. It's starting to look really good now! They will be doing trim, cabinets, bathroom vanities, interior doors, and our railing on the stairs this week. Here are a few pics to show the progress.

More Easter

We had a fabulous Easter and the EB even came to see us! I got a pic after the bunny left our house.

Anderson checking out the goods

He was pretty pleased with his loot and couldn't wait to put together his Buzz legos



I couldn't get a pic of Grayson with his eyes open. He got a new Leapster game that he hasn't wanted to put down since.

BA--BEE~

Aubree loved her baby that actually sucked from the bottle.. she laughs everytime she feeds her

Check out the girl's crazy hair



Getting to work on Zurg

Pretty Blue Eyed Gal
He does have eyes... I promise! Wanting to take the Leapster to Church

Aubree and Mena

Attempting to get them all to look at me at once is near impossible!
But at least I got them all 3 in a pic together!

I'M DONE MOM!!!
