A Few Weekends Ago...

We took a big risk and let the goats out to run free. They were really good and stayed in the yard. Half the time they would just follow us around. So we have been letting them out on a daily basis now if the weather is nice.

Kent working on the chicken boxes. Hopefully they start laying eggs soon and earning their keep!

Pre-Kindergaten Classes

At Northern Cass, they have an eight-week class of children attending kindergarten the following year. It helps parents know what the children should know before beginning kindergarten. It is really nice because they give us all this material and information to work with them at home so we don't have to spend a bunch of money on pre-school. It is run by the kindergarten teachers at the school. It is so great because Mia is getting a little taste of a classroom setting and she is meeting her future classmates and teacher.

Girls

These are some pictures that Isabelle took.

I love thise one!
ARRRRRG!

Kitchen

My kitchen was clean for 10 seconds one day so Kent took some update pictures. these are just on one side of the kitchen. We forgot to take pitcures of the area by the fridge which is more cabinets, a smaller counter top area and and a pantry.

We still need to add hardware to the cupboards, finish the trim around the window, add cabinet doors to the cupboards up above on the right and add cupboards and a light fixture above the window. So, again, still work to be done in every room of the house. But, it is all taking shape into what we want it to look like. The kitchen is going to be my favorite room because it looks just like I would picture a farm kitchen to look like (of course a lot smaller than I would like).

Windows and Siding

This has been an on going project all summer long. Kent has been slowly but surely replacing all of the windows and residing the entire house. At the end of this particular weekend, he had all but two of the windows replaced. The two left are the stair landing and upstairs bathroom.
"My man". I am so happy he is so handy - and good looking!

Green Beans

A few weekends ago the green beans were ready to harvest. We had some later that night and our only regret was we didn't plant near as much as we should have. They were so good! I guess we know for next year!

Marshall's Room

Kent did the selecting of the decor for Marshall's room. He wanted to do it in a farm theme. He did a good job and like every other room in the house, it is a work in progress. I want to get some Case Tractors and some pictures of farm animals etc to put in the room.




38 1/2 Weeks Pregnant

This shirt makes me look huge - but oh well, I am pregnant!

Family Room


Kent taped and textured the family room. Then he painted and put down laminate flooring



This area will have a small closet on the left and the fridge and bar area will also be located here.

Where the family room is right now. Still some work to be done but it is useable. It is nice to have somewhere else to go and watch tv and is clean and new.


Redhawks

A few weeks ago we went to a Redhawks baseball game. Kent got some tickets so we were able to have hamburgers and hotdogs before the game and the girls both got a ball.
