This past weekend was quite the weekend. My parents were so sweet to come and help us do some of the huge projects in our house. The were able to come down on a Friday afternoon with a truck load of tools and supplies to get our house looking nice.
The big project was installing our new cherry wood cabinets and new stainless appliances. I wanted a electric range so Brandon and my dad had to wire the stove to work where a gas stove had been. We were amazed to find that Coleton could sleep right through all of the drilling, hammering, and sanding.
They ran in to some problems when drilling one of the cabinets to the wall when they hit a water line and had a little flood, not to big of a problem if it would not have been Saturday night at nine thirty and home depot is half an hour away and closes at ten. Luckly Brandon made it there in time and got the parts needed to fix it! When they were all in it looked great! We still didnt have a sink, a dishwasher that could be used(since you need a sink to run it) or countertops but they would be installed by the company with in a week and a half.
While boys were hard at work, my mom and i were organizing the extra bedroom with all of the boxes and extra stuff which was such a project but by the end of the weekend the room was usable and looked great. We also got all of the cabinets filled with kitchen supplies and the rest of the house cleaned up!
My dad was also able to fix my dishwasher so i can wash clothes which was so nice because i had not been able to do laundry for almost three weeks at that point so life was good.
By the end of the weekend everyone was exausted but the house looked great!! They did so much to get us organized, cleaned, and confident that we would be able to finish the house with only a few small projects.
We are so grateful for all of the help we have received from our families. We know we could not have done things with out them!!
As you can tell his hair was pretty long which we cut over labor day weekend and now is really short but still cute. He also found a tickle me elmo doll at DI and takes it everywhere!! He has a hard time making him laugh unless he jumps on him but he still loves it. When he goes down for a nap he will give him his sippy cup and his extra pacifier and they will nap together.
Coleton has done great with the move and is a realy good helper with the tiles being so gross from all of the construction he was helping us scrub them and was doing a pretty good job,
but then he was starting to get water everywhere and made quite the mess but he is fun to have around anyways!!
Last of all since we dont have any locks on the cabinets he found a marker sunday right before church and got himself pretty good. At church evveryone thought that he had a black eye or had gotten a pretty bad gash but really he just had a marker line that i could not seem to get off!!
where we knocked out the wall and get the carpent layed in the basement!!
We also got our counter tops installed!!! 
Which look amazing, but it also means that we got...
A running sink which means that we also have a dishwasher that works (which means no more doing dishes in a bucket)!!!!
Our kitchen and basement are finally done which means i can cook again and have a play area for Coleton!!! We are getting so close to finishing, i cant wait to see everything done!!
We dropped Coleton off two doors down and headed to find out what we were having. They gave us huge print outs and i loved seeing the baby on the screen.
