The Forms

Despite the rain most of the form for our slab has been installed - we are VERY excited!
This is a picture from the tree that is in front of our bathroom window looking over the form from that angle.

This is a picture from the side of the house- it was the easiest way to get the whole thing in the picture.

We are so excited to see some progress and change on the lot. October will be 1 year since we had this crazy idea to buy the land & start this project- as stressful and emotional as it has been we are very excited.

Did I mention that we are excited?

Wow-

Hello- my name is Michelle, and I am a blogger addict.

I just noticed this morning that the blog I did was my blog #101! Wow- do I really have that much to say- NO.
Okay- I take a lot of pictures and want to share them- yep, that's it- I'm addicted to taking pictures.

Oh Rain

Rain, Rain go away
Come again another day
The Richters are trying to build a house
And rain you are just in the way!!

Full Day

Today was a full day of FUN for Jaxson! He started off by a trip to the library where he "drove" a jeep while I picked out books. After a nap he headed over to his buddy James' birthday party. Jaxson and James are in the same class at school and he was going to have Tumblebus at his party! Tumblebus is something that Jaxson loves so he was ready to play when the big yellow bus pulled up.

He jumped in the ball pit

Climbed the wall

Swung on the rings

And tumbled his way around the bus of fun!

After the party we headed over to see Scott & Natalie who were in town and play with her neice Alana in the pool.


Now we're all going to have a good night sleep!

Moments....

I LOVE taking pictures- I'm guilty of not being in pictures because I'm always behind the camera. The past couple of nights there have been some beautiful sunsets. Tonight while attempting to capture the sunset I caught two of my favorite people- resulting in probably my favorite picture ever.
ENJOY!!!

The Festival

This afternoon Jaxson & I headed over to the festival at St. Thomas More and boy did he have fun! The petting zoo was a huge hit- getting to feed many different animals and even hold a few. He played several of the games - Go Fish, Football Toss, Milk Bottle Toss, Potty Toss (we heard a mom in line explain to her daughter that this was only a game and not something you do at home- important to note for sure!). A ride on the Choo-Choo train was lots of fun too- after seeing how fast it was going I was thankful that Bunca fit in the little car to ride along with Jaxson so I could take pictures. He was a little tense throughout the ride- but I think he enjoyed it. Sausage wraps, pretzels and several snow cones were a huge hit as well. He finished off the night by dancing with Nana and Bunca to the live band. By 8 o'clock his energy was spent and we called it a night- it sure was a lot of fun!

Here we go....

Today we found out that we have been approved to begin building our house....you can't hear me but I'm screaming with excitement!!
