where to start...

the most exciting news that we have to share is that i am pregnant with an adorable little boy.

he is due this august. i had a second ultrasound today and everything is looking good.

we have a name for him, but i am not ready to share it on here just yet.

we had a major urine stench coming from our carpet after we said goodbye to all of betty's puppies.

bryan got the stuff to deep clean the carpet, but we were noticing other odors then as well.

finally we decided the best and most sanitary option would be to pull the carpet up.

we did, but there were cracks everywhere.

which meant we had or i should say bryan had alot of work ahead of him to fill in the cracks with concrete and redo the floor. we ended up painting the concrete.

 above is a picture of the concrete dust on our oven.

it literally covered everything and was the biggest mess i have ever seen.

the furniture and all of our belongings got moved into the garage and bryan spent three weeks cleaning up the inside of our house.

during that time the littles, betty and i stayed at my grandma holman's as it was not okay for any of us to be around all of the concrete dust.

here is a picture of the floor finished, a new rug for our feet and the kids and i enjoying a few days by ourselves.

 then bryan had his carpal tunnel surgery and we were joined by grandma pound for seven weeks. 

little did we know just days before he surgery he would tear apart the kids bathroom due to cracks in the tub that were leaking mold under the floor and rotting out everything. this has also meant eight weeks with no bathtub and having to get creative with the kids bath time. 

we are hoping to have the bathroom finished by monday night.

during the last eight weeks, we found out we were having a boy, grace took it very well.

celebrated easter and our love for the Saviour and knowledge that he lives.

celebrated tyler's 18th birthday and saw him off to his senior prom.

had our dryer brake. we got a gas dryer this time and bryan put in a gas line.

we have been purging our house of everything and are now trying to decide what to do about the shared bedroom situation between emmet and his little brother.
