House Building....

So, I'm hoping tomorrow I will be able to post new pictures. I thought I would do a little update though. We got the sub-floor on Friday and Saturday. Today I had to go grocery shopping and it was pouring rain. When I got back the kids and I went to the land and the sun came out and stayed out the rest of the day til' we were headed home. I actually got pretty sunburnt. The guys got the two long walls upstairs built and tonight a whole bunch of guys came and helped stand them up. There was Brian, Chris ( who lives at Brians), Travis, Lance, Dan Chace, Wesley, Corey, Bro. Fast, Phil and Dad. It was quite the crew. Anyways, I thought I would tell you what we got done and I will post pictures tomorrow after I get some more taken and have the energy. I'm pretty worn out these days!!

Chubby came to help today too!! She's so cute!
So, here's pictures of the progress this week. I have been helping with just about anything and everything. I'm sure someday there will actually be a picture of me working instead of just all the guys! That way I can prove I was actually working!!Oh well, I sure am enjoying all the picture taking!!!
