Crazy Life!!!

I love my life!! It is crazy and wild with a house full of guys but how bored would I be without them? I love staying busy and getting all my chores done, cooking, cleaning, schooling, and all the other things that fall into my lap!

We have been busy at the house every day and getting lots done. Phil and I got the house insulated this week and he has been over working on other little things. I have been staying home on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and only helping on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday! It seems to be working out nicely!

We got the sheet rock delivered on Thursday so we will probably be working on that next week! It is SO exciting that so much is getting done and we are going to be moving in in no time!! Anyways, we survived the sickness and all seem to be doing SO much better! It is a joy to be healthy and you don't truly appreciate it until you are sick! That's all for now Folks!

Update on us!!

We have been SUPER DUPER SICK!!!! Someone has thrown up everyday since last Wednesday! We seem to be doing better so far but we'll see. Phil has been working on the house as much as possible and we have ALL the wiring done!!! YAY!!! Thank you Serre!!! Lance and Travis are planning on coming over later this week to finish up the plumbing and we are going to start insulating and putting up vapor barrier. We also have Ventilation Solutions coming out tomorrow to check out the HRV system. So, we're making progress and getting it done about when we wanted to! Not much else is going on....just the same ol' same ol'.

Busy Busy!!!

We are always so busy these days. Phil gets up around noon and we head over to the house and work til' five when he has to come home, eat dinner, get showered and go back to work. That's after the kids and I have spent all morning doing school and chores so we're ready to go when he gets up!! We are getting things done though and that's good. Gabe has come over once or twice to help get the dirt work finished outside and so that's almost done. We are getting alot of the rough in stuff done and Josh is coming over next week to pull the cable and phone lines through. Lance is probably gonna come over and help with the plumbing and Phil is actually in town right now getting stuff to plumb part of the house. We are having some people come over and finish spray foaming and I am praying Phil will just pay to have someone come sheetrock, mud, tape and paint the place. It would save us SO much time and energy. We'll see though.....he's trying really hard to stay on budget and even though it would take us longer it would save us about eight thousand dollars. Anyways, we're doing good and I'm sorry there's not more to update on! I'll try to borrow mom's camera again and get some pictures to post!

House Building Update...

Well, I haven't updated for awhile and I HATE not having a camera. We got the insulation around the foundation finished up today. We got the windows and doors in and things are moving along. G.V.E.A. came and hooked up our electricity and we are SUPER excited about that. The H.R.V. people are coming tomorrow to give us the supplies and walk us through how to put in the ducting and stuff. We are pretty excited things are getting done. We are hoping to start pulling wires and hooking up electrical outlets, not to mention getting the plumbers to come get the plumbing done. We have been putting in long days and I haven't worked out all week but I am still SUPER sore from all the shoveling of gravel and hauling blue board. That stuff isn't light I can tell you that. I feel good and I'm happy though and that is what's important. I enjoy working with Phil over there and it gives us some time together. Anyways, I just thought I would let everyone know how the house is going. I will try to start updating more often!!!

WOW!!! AUGUST!!!

When did that happen??!! Summer is officially over and now it is Fall!! It is happening so fast. I am turning 27!!! On Sunday!!! Insane....it feels as though I was just 16 yesterday! Anyways, it is a wonderful thing and I am happy to be turning a year older. It happens so fast though. I have four little boys running around and none of them are babies anymore....which is kinda nice and bitter sweet at the same time. Phil and I have a wonderful marriage and I couldn't ask for a better hubby. He is the BEST! He even asked me today when I wanted to go birthday shopping. He's such a sweetie.

Things have been good and busy. Phil went sheep hunting and got home from that and he accidentally ran over his leg so he is still healing up from that. It was nuts. He is working on the house when he can and we're trying to get our septic in next week!! It is really exciting and we can't wait to have it finished. That is a lONG way off right now though. The weather is cooler and it is probably one of my favorite times of the year here in AK!! The boys started school last week and we've been having fun doing that. It is harder for them and more time consuming for me but we are enjoying it. Jesse and Roo are definitely making it more difficult. Well, a small update but thought I would let everyone know we're doing good! Have a wonderful weekend!! I know I will!!

Update!!

So, I know it's been awhile since I wrote anything. We've been busy and things have just been...well, crazy!! Phil has been gone since Sunday sheep hunting. The boys.....of course....got sick while he was gone. They have had croup, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and fevers. I was so bummed I didn't get to go to church today. I was up all night with the two little boys yelling and screaming for four hours that they were scared something was getting them. I think it was the fevers talking.

Anyways, we went to spend time with friends this week, went to the fair, went out to eat, went shopping and a million other things. Jonny and Davy went blueberry picking with Jim and brought home 5 gallons of berries. It was a lot of work to clean and freeze them but I got it all done. I am hoping there will be enough room for all of the sheep when Phil gets home. I sure hope they get one! He went with Allen. Well, as busy as we've been I don't have a whole lot to post on here. The boys are starting school tomorrow so that will be fun!! They are actually excited about it. Until next time....
