more house pics

Tyson's mom, Kristy, came to town for a week and we were able to get a ton done on the house.  This woman can do anything!  We were seriously doing man stuff, using saws, removing toilets..she seriously taught me so much. Here we are painting Jace's room...yes, we are awesome for letting the kids help.
 

Our house is only a few blocks from this awesome park, that's we've been to almost every day.
 

 
The only thing I miss about Medical Lake...Jeannette and her family.  She became my bestie there. I taught her boys piano and I was at her house three times a week for Zumba!...she got me hooked :-) We had so much fun together and she kept me going through those long winter months.  Good thing we aren't too far and will still be able to see eachother

During Kim's baby shower my dad was brave enough to take 7 of his grandkids to the movie...by himself.  What an awesome grandpa.

 
Here's one of our projects from when Kristy was here.  We painted one wall of this bathroom dark brown, put in a new toilet and framed in the mirror..all by ourself.  Looks so good!

We painted one wall in Lexi's room this green color.  So it's now pink, green, and purple.  I looks really cute!

Our new dining set.


Kristy bought a little picnic table for the kids.  This was almost the hardest thing we did all week haha, putting together this table.   


And here's Jace's room. We painted the grey and blue and then put the chair rail around...once again, all by ourselves!  Looks so awesome!

*I have to put a note in here that while all this is going on, my mom is stuck at home with a broken foot and arms.  I know she feels so bad about not being able to help, but she's just not able to. That's why its so great to be by family, there are lots more people to help :-)  We love you mom and can't wait for you to see the house in person!!!
