Construction Appreciation Party...

On June 25th we held out Construction party for all those who help make our dream come true...

The food was YUMMY!  There wasn't too much left either...

In this picture is MY NEW Neighbor...I just love her to pieces. 

 And my Mom(in-law)

Believe it or not but they choose to sit on the drive way.  I asked why?  The response was..."It was allot of work!"  So I guess I got my answer.  We do love the paved driveway...all the way to the road.  Will be super nice in all the ups coming winters.

Over all it was a great night. 

 A few of us stayed up till four AM. 

We were a lil wound after the big storm that came through!!  But we all survived!!

Cousins by Chance...Friends by Choice...

A Cousin is a Sister you never had!! Cousins are those childhood playmate who grow up to be forever friends!

The Finishing Touches...

The Laundry room...I bought the wash boards about 4-5 years ago in Bemidji MN, now they have a place on the wall! I love my new washing machine and dryer (Whirlpool Duet in silver). I just wish they were in or Primghar home. I know my laundry would be caught up then..

.I think! ;-)I found these vases while looking for bar stools and well..Yup...I just had to have them.Zachary's Bedroom...He hasn't decided yet what he wants on the walls. So time will tell. Malissa's bedroom...No decorations yet either but a very cut bed spread in teal and browns. My master bedroom. I scored on the comforter...Palain and simple...but so comfortable to sleep under. And it was CHEAP!! So I won't feel bad if I want somethinf different in a couple of years. My master bed room closet...What a dream come true. So mch more space. I highly recommend this to any and every one...to install this type of closets.
I did custom closets in every bedroom.

The basement barstools. Still looking for the upstairs bar stools for around the island...

The basement dual bath sinks...

Summer is coming...

The dock was put into the water this past Saturday...the boys were a huge help. Things went pretty well after they figured out what they were doing. And yes the water was Cold!!

Now time for sume fishing. We caught a few bullheads, a walleye and a perch. Then daddy fried them in a pan!Our neighbors have a daughter, "H". She loves to swing. Good thing so does Malissa. They have fun together. Our Silly dog loves going with us. He is so spoiled.

Our first weekend in the new home...

April 30, 2010 we finally got to move in...Somewhat...We moved in beds and one couch that on Monday when the remaining furniture was being delivered, had to be moved to the basement. It was nice being able to finally stay in our home that we designed and we are LOVING it!!

Zach making supper...and what do you ask? What else but a hot dog of course. The same meal we had on our first night we camped here. After all the construction the poor deck...It was in sad, sad shape. But by power washing it, it came back to life!

Amazing what a little water will do!!!

Green Grass...YEA!!

I am so excited for the rain that is coming this week. The sod needs to be watered and this is saving us some money. I love the green grass!! Can't wait to enjoy it.

Almost Complete...Finshing Touches...

We officially have doors...no more construction doors...This happens to be the door to the garage.

I now have sinks in the master bath...but as of today still no toilet. Who knew finding a bone colored toilet that is TALL would be one of te hardest things for us to pick out. LOL! The counter is Corian and I'm thinking I'm gonna love it!Here is my shower...ohhlala!!And the carpet is complete... ...we chose the same for the entire house. Less decisions that way.
Bar height patio set...tho it came shorter...Randy attatched 2 - 6x6 to the

bottom. Perfect height now to see over the railing.

Last september at te Clay County Fair we purchased a must have...a hot tub!

This is the sink to the main bath room...Which will end up being Malissa's Bath room.

I Love it!! Itsbeen fun!

What a View...

Soon I'll be able to wake up to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Landscaping has Begun...

Well after one winter of having our driveway plowed was all we want...There were so many rocks that got thrown in the neighbors yard from the snowplow that Randy decided to have his crew pick up all the rocks. It took about 10 guys a full day to accomplish this.
So now we have a concrete driveway.

Soon to be sod...and beautful green grass...

Nees a few flowers...
