The House (the before pics...the after pics yet to come)

Finally...here are some pictures of my new house! The first couple are in black and white and I don't really know how that happened. Also, they are in kind of random order.

This one is the backside of my house. They left me this grill and my fuel for furnace is behind that lattice work. That's also where the dead cat was-thanks to my lil bro Josh for taking care of that for me.


This is my shed (complete with electricity) and the trampoline they left me.
This is my massive pool!!! Can't wait to swim there!


This is the stairs for my pool. Also, my "deck" and tanning chairs they left me.


This is the swing and water gun they left me.





This is Sophi playing in her room (the chain link fenced in area...the pool is in another part of the yard completely surrounded by privacy fence). Notice the pile of wood for my fireplace they left me!

Sophi's room again.

The privacy fence (pool on the other side) and my patio. This is taking when standing in my house at the backdoor.


My laundry room/green bathroom.


That same bathroom.


Again, same bathroom.


Still the green bathroom. (you'll get to see the colors in the "after" pictures). Sidenote-Karale is AWESOME at removing the wallpaper. If you need any removed, I would catch her while you can!



Garage and stuff they left in it.

Office room. This was taken while I was standing in the living room. This room is off from the living room and has another door in it leading to the garage.


This is the living room. That door is to the green bathroom I already showed you. Those blinds are to the backdoor and patio. Can you see the outlines from the pictures they used to have hanging? They were heavy smokers and smoked inside the house, so I've had to paint every inch of the house to get rid of the smell. Plus the walls were extremely dirty and it was much easier to paint over it instead of trying to clean it.


Living room again. This was taken standing in the kitchen. Notice the dirty walls and the pretty fireplace!




This is one side of my kitchen. The hole is for a microwave. Sidenote-Josh is very good at cleaning disgusting stoves!



Other side of that same counter. The edge on the far right is where my fridge will go.




Other side of my kitchen.



Pantry in my kitchen. That door next to it has shelves so it can also be a pantry. Lot of space!!!!



View of the kitchen when you first walk in.



My room. (and closet)



My room again. Look at the dirtiness!



Spare bedroom.


Justin checking my toliet in the blue bathroom. Look at that tub!!!





View from the front door. That small door in front is the pantry (kitchen). Then you see the hallway. The first door is the blue bathroom, then the spare bedroom, and then the room at the end is my bedroom.

Again, but this time Sophi's there!



My house from the front!! This is where the pool is.


My front door that matches my shutters...I LOVE IT!! Also Justin's truck and the broken garage door. But!!! Josh and Justin fixed the garage door! Yay!


The best view of the house I could get.

That's it!!! I'll be posting "after" pictures soon!

Sophi in the Park

Yesterday some of us had to come into work early, so we got to leave work early. Leaving work early and the fact that it was 60 degrees outside, Justin decided to come over and we would take Sophi to the park to play and wear her out! I even let her get in the water! Here are some videos of Justin playing with Sophi!

Mom wanted pictures standing up

I was talking to my mom today, and she was saying she wanted some pictures of Sophi just standing next to me so she could see how tall she was. Here they are! And since the videos worked so nicely before, I decided to show you an old school one of her playing with her toys when I first got her. Notice how little and fluffy she is!!!!

I'm trying the videos...

I've never done videos on here before, so we'll see how this goes. One of the videos is mom, me, and Brooke playing. The other is Allen, Nichole, and one of Lisa's boys playing. We'll see if this works! Mom get's real frustrated with the drums...hopefully she's better by the next time I come home!

Rockband/Guitar Hero with a little bit of New Years

These first couple of pics are from New Years. We went to eat at this hibachi (spelling?) grill. It's one of those Japanese places where they put on a show and cook the food right at your table. It was great to see how talented they were! The food was great too. It was AWESOME! Then we all went to Catie's house and played games (Eucher, Wii, etc). I had a lot of fun. We also watched something on ESPN where this guy did a flip in a truck! It was GREAT!





Here are some pics of the family playing Rockband/Guitar Hero. It was a lot of fun!!! We even got Teresa and Tecee to play! We got Lisa's boys and Allen to play too (and of course Nichole). I'm going to try to post a video of them. For some reason I only took a video of them, and no pic. I'll try my hardest to get it posted though!


















Sophi's getting so big!!!

Here are some recent pictures of Sophi. She's getting really big. She weighs about 32 pounds now. She actually is getting spade on Monday, so pray for her!









Friends

Here are some pictures of some of the friends (and family) I saw when I went home for Christmas! It was a blast! Rockband/Guitar Hero pics with the family coming up soon!
