Looking Good!

These pictures are taken the day he got the stitches on his face taken out.  That was just over a week ago.  It looks better each day.  At this rate I don't think it will need any plastic surgery!    :)

First day of School 2013

Morgan started her first day of eighth grade today!

She even helped a new seventh grader...

Admittedly these pictures were taken after she got home from school....  But I thought they turned out pretty good!

Warning... look away if you are squeamish!

Yesterday we got back from camping (which by the way I didn't even take one photo... if any of my sisters took pictures I would greatly appreciate a copy!)  

Long story short... the table with my big glass cloche on the stand got kicked and it fell and broke on the table and then fell onto Brayden which he caught most of the broken pieces with his face!

Before pictures...  he cut his arm, thumb and multiple lacerations on his nose.

After our trip to the ER.  It is so nice to have the new ER close to our neighborhood!  We have used it twice in the last month!  He will most likely have to see a plastic surgeon in 6 months.  

Hip Hip Hurray!

Zack got back this past wednesday from his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It has been two years since we have seen our son.  We are so glad that he is back safe and sound!  

First glimpse!

Back together again.

With grandma and grandpa!

Our brickers are doing a fabulous job!  I love the bricked wrapped around to the garage door opening.  It means that we don't have to add stucco there or paint a wood trim EVER!

Insulation really changes the look of things.  It makes it quieter too!

Sheet rock delivery!  Yipee!

Lots of sheetrock all over the house... they finished the upstairs today and started on the basement. 

What a wonderful sight,  it means we are done with our 4 way and we can take a little break... just in time for Zack to get home!

Some of the younger chickens have started to lay eggs.  This haul is in one day!

This week has been much of the same... except they are putting on the shingles!!!  We are scheduled to have our 4 way inspection on Monday (heating, plumbing, electrical and framing)!  Then onto insulation and sheet rock!  Yipee... a little break from the house for us!  Just in time for Zack to get back!

Catching Up!

We got to try out the new ER that just got finished.  Russ got a big sliver in his arm and the Dr. had to extend the opening another inch to get the sucker out!  It has healed fairly nicely now!  The sliver had broken off into the fatty tissue.... we knew it was at least a 1/2 inch long chunk in there so we went to the Doctors.

After running to Lowe's one night we arrived home to a very nice dinner.  They even dressed up!  Love these kids!

Pretty much everyone is tuckered out at our house... if anyone sits still for very long, this is usually what happens.  Sometimes a quick cat nap really does the trick!

Best garage sale find ever!  I had seen something sort of like this on pinterest.  I got my windows for $15 total... they are big and it stands about 5 feet tall.  We put it together in about 15 minutes.  The gate is one from my dad's shop!  It fit perfectly... now I just need to figure out where I want it and make it so the gate can swing!
