More house and fun

WOOHOO!!!! More rock is giong up everyday...this is the back side of the house. Here is the front of the house...you can see the garage in the back corner...no rock on the front yet...but they are working on that this week...woohoo!!!!
I am standing in our living room...taking a picture of our kitchen....This is the eating bar - they finally finished rocking it...the sheetrockers finished in a week (mud, floating and texturing)...it was crazy...so i guess Brian (our builder) will clean up the floors this week...and stain them in the next week or two...and then the painter will start priming...and painting while we wait on cabinets...it is always the cabinets that slow it down - at least that is what they say.


Beth LOVES to hold cups...and poor out the contents...so the lids don't last too long...just don't share with her unless you are prepared to lose your drink for good.


And apparently....she loves to eat and WEAR butter & jelly toast. My mom eats it for a snack all the time...and Beth got a taste...and ended up like this. Bath time was much needed.


All of us girls hanging out at the boys and girls club fundraiser...we had a blast...too bad Haleigh missed out. Haven't had that good of a time in forever!!!

Jamie and Christi having some fun.
Steph and Me...also cracking up.

This is the HUGE caterpillar i purchased at the silent auction that evening...it was too cute...and it was a fund raiser...so why not. Beth loves it...but i think we will put it away for Christmas.


Just too cute...i love my little girl.

Texas Tech cheerleader & a rock house

Here is her cute little Texas Tech bloomers...she was wearing her cheerleading suit - ready for the TEXAS vs TT party at the Battles house.

She is just sporting her little suit so well.
Here she is with Jessa - Jason and Jill's middle daughter.


Here she is with Jolee - Jason and Jill's youngest.


She is playing with Jolee's toys...i figure this picture would make nannie proud. She LOVES to push that stroller...Santa may have to bring her one for Christmas....along with a slide.

She is enjoying the rocking tractor that Papaw bought at the festival last year.


And she loves to go riding...so i think she thinks that she can ride the lawnmower....pretty funny if you ask me.

So house pictures...here is the beginning of the rock. This is the north side of the house...so you are looking at the kids bedroom windows. We LOVE the rock...i think it is the perfect colors...we paid a little extra for the rectangular rock instead of flagstone - but we like the cleaner look.


Went to a wedding party in Wall - and Beth hit the playground and LOVED it. Might have to take her to park every once and while. Poor little deprived girl - he! he!




Her and Daddy playing on the playground...we couldn't get her away from the slide...she LOVED it.



All that playing wore her out - and Kymbree (Robin and Chad's little girl)...so we put them down in the pack and play so we could stay longer and enjoy the dance. It is crazy how they can sleep thru all that noise.



After an hour of being asleep...it appears as though Beth is a cuddler and Kymbree doesn't seem to mind. We are so lucky to have such great friends with kids the same ages...makes it fun to watch them grow up together.


Ready for church in her new outfit...she is precious.


This is a picture of the rock on the garage wall on our patio...i just can't get over how talented those guys are that lay rock...it is amazing.


And our big ole fireplace is finally in....we will painting those red bricks...and i can't wait till it is rocked in - i think it will look fabulous...and most of all - it is acutally big enough to burn logs. Woohoo!!!!
