Done! Well sort of...

 

YEAH!!!! 

 

We slept in the new house last night for the first time.  It's not 100% finished, but pretty close.  Here are the pics I took of the last week as we helped as much as we could before I came down with a sinus infection that is now kicking my butt!  There is no rhyme or reason to how they loaded on here.  Sometimes this site works and sometimes it takes FOREVER to load them and then they aren't in the order that I tried to load them...

 

 

Free advertising!  lol  He did a WONDERFUL job.  He has to come back and cover it over, but its done and we were very happy with a new tank and leech lines... 

 

 

It was a lot bigger than I thought.  ALOT! 

 

 

The inside still being 'married'... another Witness at work.  We laughed as we were talking about Sundays meeting and he came up and told us he was in the sign language congregation in Medford after overhearing us... we are everywhere I tell you!!!  :) 

 

 

The playroom.. carpet to come...

 

 

 

Did I mention mud???  and lots of it...

 

 

Above is the master bathroom... below is the kids bathroom. 

 

 

 

Kids bathroom again... its huge.  I cant believe how big it is! 

 

 

Attaching the power...

 

 

Junction box where the old mobile power was and where we tapped into it and ran it another 30 ft up...

 

 

Formal living room waiting for the carpet to be stretched...  and the playroom carpet hanging out....

 

 

Kitchen...  looking into formal living room... 

 

I am feeling pretty cruddy... but I will try and get pictures tomorrow.  The skirting is done and the yard is leveled out... except for the leech lines..  until next time... Happy napping... I am going to take one! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



In the HOME stretch

 

 

Its here... its here... its finally  here!!!

 

 

Ha.. you thought I'd start with the house right???  tehehehe

Filling in the runners...  and leveling the immediate area... 

 

 

check...

 

 

Power box going in.... check...

 

 

Mom this one is for you... look at the mud behind her... now look at her jacket... take a deep breath!  It washed off tonight... lolol  I asked her what she was doing... and she told me," I am checking things out with my binoculars!" 

 

Oh yeah... the house... K... I am back on track...

 

 

Its here... we are waiting... There was no school today for an inservice day.  I thought that worked out well... they could watch their new home be brought in.  Miranda is under the weather anyway... sooo it worked out well. 

 

 

And here we go!!! 

 

 

First half going into the driveway.  I could not believe how close it came to the fence line, but they are experts in moving these huge things... it was amazing!

 

 

The front of the house... still on the street, getting lined up for the turn..

 

 

They had their chairs out watching... and running through the field...

 

 

Moving it to the pad.  The back side... the sliding glass door opening up to what will eventually be a deck and the back yard.  The pile of cement blocks and garbage that was bagged from under the old mobile to be hauled off tomorrow will be a deck... :) 

 

 

Lining it all up... that little crawler is just awesome. 

 

 

And this is about where they stopped...

 

One last one to show you where it was left until tomorrow. 

 

 

We are exhausted... and both the little girls are getting sick... so until tomorrow... good night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Wedding #2

 

 

Mr and Mrs Alex and Heather Dominguez

 

 

 

Aggie waiting for his bride... Lola named him Aggie when she couldn't pronounce Alex... and it stuck... he will forever be our Aggie...

 

 

We are missing the other ring bearer, but hey what do you expect?  He and Lola are two.  At one point Lola came and sat on my lap too...  Look closely... Lola still has her binky too... lol

 

 

She is going to miss her big Sissy... I just love this picture... my lil tomboy all girlied up.  Can you see the band aid from her scratching off the scab AFTER we put the dress on her??? 

 

 

My niece... Mya, My Miracle Miranda in the middle and Lola... Lola the Last... The three princesses...

 

 

And the princes... one that really does not want to wear a tuxedo... and really would rather be in his mom's lap!!! 

 

 

They were so nervous they forgot to kiss!!  But you can see the glow on their faces... they are happy!!!

 

 

Mother and Father of the Bride... Russ and I.  I wish it was more clear... Russ is so handsome all dressed up...

 

 

My son and my Mother in Law... she's moving OK for having a heart attack in between weddings...

 

 

Oh yeah... we forgot to do that on the stage!!! 

 

 

My nephew Bryce... wow how they all grow up so fast.  I have pictures of Heather and him playing in Grandma's buffet as toddlers... they are only a couple years apart...

 

 

The guys...

 

 

The girlz...

 

 

This is where we all left for the reception hall and left the newly weds to take further pictures.  I was never so happy to see her out of the modesty smock... The gold bead work is just gorgeous! 

 

 

They are sitting outside the Kingdom Hall.  It ended up being a gorgeous day... and they are such an adorable couple. 

 

 

Awwww.....  tehehehe

 

 

This is too cute because both their eyes are closed...:)

 

 

 

The Dining Hall with the Bride and Groom to the front...

 

 

The Food Hall... salad bar boats... pulled pork and pulled chicken... rolls, side salads, sandwiches, chips, lemonade, tea, sparkling cider, it was a feast...

 

 

And cakes.. plural...

 

 

Because some of us like Chocolate...

 

 

 

Aaand some of us like blocks of wood.  We had a slight mishap with a cake layer so we did the only thing we knew how...  we put a block of wood in its place and frosted the cake.  We made sure that the Father of the Bride ( aka... Russ) worked really hard to figure out what was wrong with his piece... on the bottom of the wood was a note from 'one blockhead to another'...  letting my main man know how much I still love and adore him...  and the cake piece is now tucked away for safe keeping... never to see inside of a wood stove... :) 

 

 

All I could do is laugh... hmmm... we have a little car... and its full... how do we get this all home???  My advice... pretend its a cow... or turkeys... or some other form of livestock... it will fit... we have pictures... ford escorts work best... but the Taurus will work!  :) 

 

 

And the evening wore on with people visiting and when the night was over... Lola shows it the best...

 

 

Great Party... Its time to crash! 

 

I think that catches us all up for the summer.  We disappeared for months I know... but we had our hands full.  As soon as the wedding was over, we began packing the mobile up.  That led into October with Russ' back surgery... which immediately was followed with moving into the travel trailer for the last 6 weeks while the house is being finished.  So now we can fast forward to what our next post will include... our new house!!!  A whirlwind year... ending with a bang! 

Until next time... hug your kids... and tell them you love them.  They grow up too fast, and before you know it, they are gone.
