Plumbing!!

We finally have plumbing! The plumber got the pipes and drains in last week and now they are slowly working their way to our hole to do the footings and basement walls.  Then, we'll be off and running with the framing.  Looks like we will be in our winter best to build most of this house.  Oh well, at least it's a house right??

Pumpkins...Of Course

You know I had to do it.  Here is our Pumpkin post.  We went to the pumpkin patch with the Knudsens this year and it was so fun.  All of the kids had a blast picking their own pumpkins and riding in the wagon.  

After we picked out our pumpkins, the little kids all wanted to ride in the wagon, so Bradyn pulled and Dillan pushed.  That was a heavy load with kids and pumpkins.

Josh and I and our 3 little pumpkins.

All of the kids. So CUTE!!

Hey Cowboy

This is actually Talon's cowboy hat, but as you can see, Coby likes to wear it too.  Tal was on the floor playing with him one night and put the hat on him and he really seemed to like it.  Talon thought that was pretty fun!!

Baking with Aunt Hailee

Aunt Hailee came down a few days ago to bake sugar cookies with the boys.  They had a blast! They made pumpkins, ghosts, moons and cats. Then, of course, they frosted and decorated them.  Kaleb would spread the frosting on and then lick it off.  We saved his cookie just for him. The boys had so much fun.  Thanks Aunt Hailee!!!

My Newest Purchase

A couple of months ago, I saw some jars similar to these at Costco that I didn't buy.  By the time I had decided that I really wanted to spend the $50 on them that they cost, they were gone and my heart was broken.  I really loved them and thought about them pretty much everyday. I thought they would look great  on my new dining room table (whenever I get that).  Well, the other day I got on EBAY, just curious to see if they had the jars.  They didn't, but they had these and they are even cuter than the ones I saw at Costco.  I jumped right on them, not wanting the opportunity to pass again and here they are. All I need now is a place to put them.  

Making Progress...Finally!

Well, we FINALLY started our house.  They dug the hole this weekend and hopefully within the week, the plumbers will get out there and they can get the concrete started.  We have been hearing, "We'll dig at the end of the week" for about 5 weeks now.  It's nice to finally see some dirt moving.  

Someday, this will be our home.

Here I am, standing in the hole, ready to get started.  

Coby is 6 months!!

Coby is officially 6 months old as of yesterday (Tuesday).  He is such a cute little bug.  He is now eating some baby food and I think he'll even like it soon.  He usually gags and shivers when we give him bites.  It's pretty funny.  As most of you already know, he really tries hard to keep up with his brothers.  He rolled over quite sooner than they did, sat up at 4 1/2 months and now, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  It's crazy!!  I guess he just wants to run and jump with the other boys.  Won't be long now!
