A Birthday Party

Emily decided that for her birthday this year, she wanted to have a pool party at Gramma's.  So we headed to my parent's house on Friday after her birthday for a party.  The party went on all weekend and I think Andrew and Emily spent about 20 hours in the pool over the three days!

Pool weather and a house update

We have a foundation!  It has been fun to watch the progress on our new house, they poured the foundation 2 weeks ago and today they started the framing.

I thought it would be fun to take a family photo every once in a while while the house is going up. So when we were out there on Friday we took family photos on the front porch and in front of the fireplace. I guess Emily is not to thrilled with my idea, she was not excited about getting her photo taken.  

They delivered all the lumber for the framers on Friday, so we hung out and waited for the big truck.  The kids even tried their bikes on the new street and had juice boxes on the front step.

Then the big truck came!  Andrew was thrilled... turns out Emily id not a fan of construction and trucks.

So we took a walk and met the new neighbors...the cows down the street :)

Sunday while I was at work, Kenneth bought the kids a new swimming pool.  Andrew was so excited to show me the pool when I got home.
