Before & After

We've been busy around here! We have been wanting a new porch since before Cameron was born and were finally ready to make it happen. It was a long process due to several rain days but it is finally done and looks awesome. We took tons of pictures throughout the process and the transformation has been amazing.

Here is a before shot of the whole house. Cameron was so excited he got to pull all the rock out with the tractor.

Getting ready for some foundation

Eddie & Cameron working hard in the rain
Wouldn't you know it, it started pouring rain when the front of our house was opened up
We quickly realized the ugly brown fence had to go
setting posts to match the rest of our fence
ta da, much better

Ok...porch is complete now we just need some paint
wa la (and in the background the new fence :-) )
our new & improved porch
Now we have a great place to sit and have a cold one. Love it!

Meet Roxy

We decided to get a bit wild and get a new puppy! This is Roxy our 9 week old Labradoodle. She is a riot. She chews everything in sight and even a few things not in sight. I guess she can now teach the kids (& us) to keep our things picked up, I don't have to say a word about it anymore. She is so sweet & cuddly - and a non-sheedder which is great for Eddies allergies. She weighs 16 lbs and we expect she will be about 60 when full grown. Huge compared to Clyde - who by the way is not very happy with us for bringing a puppy home! So far she has been amazing us with how fast she is picking up the rules. We are excited for Cameron & Cooper to get to raise a puppy, such a great experience for kids. It's great timing I have 2 more days of work & the kids 6 days of school and we are off for the summer so we will have lots of time to spend hanging out with her. I just need to remember to keep my closet door closed, she loves stealing shoes!
