Kristen is my sweetie

So here is a conversation that Kristen my almost 3 year old had with me today.


Kristen:Mom you have baby brother in yours tummy?
Me: Nope I sure don't.
Kristen: Me have baby brother in my tummy?
Me: No you are too little silly.
Kristen: Who does?
Me: Ummm
Kristen Aubree (one of our really good friends from Missouri) have baby brother in her tummy?
Me: Yes, but she had Asher's baby brother in her tummy.
Kristen: But me not and you not.
Me: That's right
Kristen: When me grow up, me have baby in my tummy.
Me: Oh you will huh?
Kristen: Yep and me get married and dance with the prince.
Me: oh that will be so nice Kristen.
Kristen: Yep and me be at the temple.
My: Oh sister.
Kristen: Me love you mom.
Me: I love you too.

here is the front of the house. We put up skirting around the porch and painted it, it used to be maroon like the family room was. YUCK! Now it is so pretty.

Here is an angle shot of the porch. I loved this porch it was HUGE! It took me forever to paint, but it was so worth it by the way it looks now.

Here is the dining room. this used to be yellow with animal names written on the walls. Something like "And two by two the lion and bears and tigers walked" Don't ask me why they put that on the wall of their dining room.

Here is the finished bathroom tub/shower combo, nice and open.

View from in the bathtub.

Before pic of bathroom taken in the bathtub.

One of the bedrooms upstairs, finished!

Same room before we finished it.

Here is the kitchen with the pass through we put in.

As you can see whe moved the sink to the opposite side of the kitchen.

the old kitchen had a drop down ceiling and they had shingles on it. WEIRD!

Old place where the sink was. The door goes out to a mud room and to the back door.

house flipping

our grand staircase was a most favorite. Its was a very nice feature to the house.

Here is the living room all done. It was a big room

Here is the living room before we finished it

ok so these are all of the before and after pictures from our house. It was a 4 bedroom 1 1/2 bathrooms. The full bathroom was gutted and redone, it was awful it had a claw foot tub with missing claws right in the middle of it so in order to get around it you had to close the door. The kitchen was gutted as well and in that process we found a door frame so we cut it short and made a pass through from the dining room into the kitchen. The we also moved the sink from one side of the kitchen to the opposite side. It looks way better. Everything else is self explanatory.

Fair warning

OK so we are BACK!! We rolled in last Sunday and have settled in. I think. We are house sitting for Jonas' mom and step dad for the winter while they go to Phoenix. They will not leave until the the day after Thanksgiving. So we are having lots of fun sharing their space with them.
Here is the fair warning, I have about a million pictures and stories to post. I will post them as soon as I can but I will also only post a couple at a time, to give you a chance to read them. Here are some topics I will be posting about... Before and after pics of our house in MO, our trip over (which includes like 4 days of activities), Baili's 4Th birthday, and Halloween. It may not seem like much, but it is a lot for me all things considered. Don't miss out, you never know when this will happen again.
