Snow!

Home Sweet Home

Well maybe not perfect home sweet home, but it works for us right now.  Our house needs a lot of updating, we have started with the easy stuff and maybe the bigger, more expensive stuff will get done at some point!  Hope you enjoy seeing our house through pictures and you are always welcome to come visit us!

This is the entry way.  I picked out curtains and mom hemmed them for me.  We painted the walls a brown color and the front door an off white color. There is a coat closet to the right that you can't see and we painted the door the same color as the front door. 

This is the living room

The kitchen.  The window use to have polls in it and Abe took those down.

Office.  We painted this room a blue color

Bathroom. 

Laundry room.  It's a nice size room.  The water heater and furnace is in this room and they are exposed and I don't like that.  Hopefully some day we can build some sort of wall/door to enclose them.  The house goes in a circle.  This is taken from the kitchen.  There is a hallway that goes to the left (by the pictures).  In this hall way there is the office, bathroom, and spare bedroom and then it goes into the living room. 

This is our bedroom.  It use to be the garage and at some point it was turned into a bedroom.  I picked out the curtains that are in this room (it takes 4 panels to cover the windows).

Spare bedroom or the kid's room.  When the girls or Gage stays with us this is where they stay. 

Another view of our bedroom.  You can't see the curtains that great over the door and window, but I picked those out and my mom hemmed them for me. 

Here is what the kitchen wall use to look like.  I like that the polls are gone, I feel like it opens up the room a lot. 

We peeled wall paper off and put primer on before we painted it again. 

And here is the finished wall.  The red didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted, but I like it now. 

Abe and dad replaced 5 ceiling fans one weekend.  2 in our room, 2 in the living room, and 1 in the spare bedroom. This is one of them in the living room.   

Replacing one in our bedroom. 

Outside of our house.  There is a detached garage and that is ours too. 

So there is our house.  It's better if you see it in person so come see us sometime!

Halloween and other things!

Jailee is Daphne from Scooby Doo

Gage

This is Hayden - isn't she cute?! Her mom and dad are both teachers at Sublette and they also go to the same church that Abe and I go to.

Cooper likes to lay on his back.  Here he is chewing on a bone.

 My dad taught Cooper how to sit up!  Cooper now sits up all the time; whenever he thinks there is a chance to get a treat he automatically sits up!  (Sorry about this video being on it's side)

Summer Highlights!

I started school about a month ago and it's going well.  Before I post pictures of my classroom I thought I would post some highlights from the summer. 

Cooper

Abe and I stopped by to see Dale and Sherri on the way to Manhattan.

Mom and I went to see Wicked in Omaha in June. 

We had a great time!

At Jasee's t-ball game.

I have Jasee in my class this year - she's getting so big!

Jailee played ball too!

She did a great job!

Alec and Amberly spent a week with Abe and I.  It was a fun week and we hope it works next summer too!

We went to the water park in Liberal

We went to the rodeo in Sublette.  Chancellor, Andrea, and Sera Grant posed with the Rodeo clown.

 In July we had family time in Manhattan.  We had a great time and hope that next time Tyler, Carrie, the kids, Mandy's husband Mike, and my cousin Haley can join us!

I finally got to meet Mandy's (my cousin) children Ellis and Oliver.  

 

This is at the city pool.  Oliver loved playing on this - I'm not exactly sure what you call it, but it was lots of fun!

They are sweet children and Abe and I loved playing with them!
