A little of everything

A few pictures from Easter:

We had a ward Easter egg hunt and right before it started we stopped for a quick pic (the top right) and it ended up making it so Lucy got ONE egg. Kids were taking them right out of her hand. A dad heard us so he gave us one of his kid’s eggs. Lucy was happy though.

Every Easter the Alameda Stake puts on “Walk With Christ” and Dillon and I played Mary and Joseph.

Check out Alyona’s shoes.

Millie started collecting the eggs before the rest of us got out there, it was so funny, she was softly nibble until it would pop open, then she made a pile of candy.

Memorial Weekend:

This year was a little different camping over Memorial weekend. It was still rainy and cold, but we went to a new spot (Graves Creek Camp Ground) that is about 3 miles down river, and much less stressful to get in and out of. We were also missing lots of people, even my dad was only there for about 26 hours.

Although Jordin’s face doesn’t say it, this was one of the highlights of the trip. Tena was helping Jordin dry her sweatshirt in Tena’s trailer and it caught on fire. They got it out, but not before there was a huge hole in the back. So, we finished the job.

Lucy had a blast playing with her cousins. Tena brought up a power wheel car and Kannon had a four wheeler that both were a hit!

Blake got a new haircut for the weekend and he combed it about 45 times the first day and many more throughout the weekend. Luckily it is gone already.

We did have some sun and, in fact, some of us even got a little sun burnt, which was a great addition to the trip!

THE HOUSE:

The dig:

Footing/foundation/basement walls:

We put in the window wells and while Dillon and I were working we left Sam on the blanket with Lucy to watch him. Soon enough she was up the dirt pile with him close behind.

We have lots and lots and LOTS of rocks!

Notice how in the above two pics Sam is looking opposite directions.

Roofing:

We are still roofing, but will hopefully finish in the next few days, as now they are waiting on us to get it done so they can start insulation. Plumbing and electrical are all basically in. We are still out probably 2 months, but it is starting to look like a house!!! We are SOOO EXCTIED!! I went and bought all our kitchen appliances today and can’t wait to have them in my own house. That said, we are so grateful to be living in my parent’s house. They are very supportive and patient and we are forever in their debt!
