The new house pics I promised ;o)

Here are some of the new pics of the house...things are moving along so fast. Most of it will be done by next week....crazy! I will be investing in several pairs of rubber boots for the kids to play outside in as we wont have a yard until spring and it is quite muddy ;o)

The entry way that was supposed to be red but I decided to wait and just paint it "Brown Bag" like the rest of the great room.

Brian's office painted "Mountain Elk" same as our master bed and bath.

Guest bathroom with vanity.

Shower Curtain I found at Target to go in guest bath...what do you think??

Cabinets and pantry.

Kitchen with new lights, paint adn cupboards.

Soon to be kitchen island...dishwasher still to come.

Desk and drop zone...

Master Bath vanity

Laundry Room Cabinets ~ space at end is for the freezer.

More laundry Room Cabinets ~ space at end is for washer and dryer.

Kid's Bath ~ a little dark ~ still no lights.

Kid's bath shower and toilet room ~ linen closet minus doors.

Kid's shower curtain I found at Target...it has really cute yellow buttons which you can't see in this picture...that is what I matched the yellow paint to.

The boys bedroom...3 tan walls and 1 navy wall. I did the same in both of the boy's rooms. Riley wants a Dallas Cowboys room and Jordan and Brock's room will have a fishing theme.

New doors minus black door knobs

Abby's room....painted "Aqua Smoke" to match her new bedding.

A Moser update!

I have realized that I rarely post on my blog without pictures. I think it is because I don't consider myself to be a great writer and I don't really enjoy writing...truth be told. But I thought I would update you a little bit on the Moser happenings since someone made a recent comment that my blog needed to be updated.

A lot has happened at the house but I still need to take some new pictures. We have finished painting which was a grueling task...but I think it turned out great! I did try to take some pics but the lighting was a little off so they didn't turn out that well. We do have some light fixtures now so I might try to take a few more today. We have some of our kitchen cabinets in and all of our bathroom vanities ;o) The tile has been started and is looking good. The outside is mainly done, just a little touch up and exterior lights. Carpet is scheduled to go in next Monday and Dave is hoping to have it finished up before Thanksgiving....crazy! I am thinking we will be moving stuff in next weekend and it might be Banquet frozen turkey dinners for us this Thanksgiving ;o) I am excited to be in before Christmas though. It will be so nice to finally feel settled...I know the kids are excited to have some feeling of normalcy back ;o) Oh and one prayer request...we need our plumber to finish up. Seriously, Dave has not been able to get a hold of him for 2 weeks and I am getting a little nervous. He is the only subcontractor we have had to use and you here stories about people taking the money and running. Anyway, to make a long story short we really need to him to finish the job he started so please pray that we would have favor with him and he would have integrity ;o)

And now for a church update...things are going well. We have had a steady crowd each week that seems to be the same people from week to week. It has been great to get to meet new people each week and to start building relationships with families that have been consistently coming back each week. Worship has been great and I have turned the nursery over to a wonderful, capable gal we have on our team so I have been able to be in the service, worship and listen to Brian preach. Sunday set up has gotten easier each week and it starting to feel like a routine (in a good way.)

With that, I am going to go and I promise to take some pictures soon. Brian and I are going to take Brock on a little hike and maybe go to lunch. Hope all is well with you in blog-land ;o)

Fun with 3 two year olds...yes 3!

Here are some pictures of a recent trip to the children's museum with Brock and two of his buddies, Drew and Greysen. The kids had a great time and to my surprise they all got along. They ran around a little and then spent about 1/2 hour playing with playdough and coloring in the art area. I think I am going to enjoy the children's museum this winter when it gets too chilly to play outside!

More house updates...hopefully it will be done one of these days!

Abby's Pumpkin Patch field trip

Abby's kindergarten class went on a field trip on Halloween as an alternative to the regular old party. They started with a trip to a local farm and picked out pumpkins. Then they went to a park for lunch and then to a gymnastics place in town. I was able to go to the farm and the park with them and then I went back to the school for the boy's parties. I met some of the other moms in the class including the owner of the new Real Deals in town...what a nice connection ;o) God bless Abby's teacher with 21 kindergartners...she is amazing! We went to her parent teacher conference tonight and Abby has been doing very well in kindergarten. We are so proud and amazed at the beautiful and intelligent little lady she is becoming!

Halloween Fun!

First, I apologize for my lack of posts...things have been so busy around here! I have been taking lots of pics...just not taking the time to post them. Here are some pics of Halloween. It was a crazy busy day between class parties, our neighborhood party and tricking or treating. So much that we had the kids in bed by 8:30 that night and I don't think we heard a peep from any of them. We were asleep by 9:00 ourselves! This year Riley decided to be Elvis with a little twist....what he would look like if he were still alive...with a gray afro wig and all! Jordan was a clone trooper, Brock a cow....just because I thought it was so cute! And Abby Hannah Montana...but at the last minute she decided she didn't like the wig so she just wore the dress. Our neighbor through a party with fun things like bobbing for apples and lots of goodies. Then we gathered the kids up and went trick or treating. The neighborhood we are in is so perfect...flat roads with 500+ houses...every kids dream! Brock so enjoyed the idea that he could walk up to a house, knock on a door and just get candy! He would scream after every house, "I got a treat...look it daddy and mommy...I got a treat!" So cute!
