Life Lately

Just a few pictures of what has been keeping us busy lately. . .



A Summer sleepover in the family room.  My boys love to do this.  I spent all this money building a bigger house so they wouldn't all be crammed in one room anymore, and it turns out they are having separation anxiety.


Drake got a mosquito bite on the top of his ear and it swelled up so big, I have never seen anything like it.  He looked like Dumbo.


It took about three days for the ear to return to its normal size.


We finally painted the last batch of baseboards and trim.  We have most of it up, but this will finish all of the odds and ends that we have to do.


We poured a new section of driveway.  The driveway ends at our property line and then we have all that space between us and the road.  Jeremy says we will gravel it, since he doesn't want to pay for concrete on city property.


The rock for the front of the house and the porch columns finally arrived.  It was a bit of a headache getting the stuff we wanted, but it is looking good.  Very worth the headache(s).


A close up of some of the stone.



And another close up of another pile of the stone.  I know these photos are riveting.  Honestly - will we ever be done building???



Finally, I want to share a picture of the Snowflake Temple.  I feel so lucky to have a temple just five minutes away from my house.  It is so pretty. I took this picture just the other day.  In our Primary, we give each child that is baptized a picture of the temple that was taken on their baptism day as a special keepsake. So, I get to take this shot quite often, but thought I would share what our beautiful temple looks like in the Summer.
