New Family Member

Introducing Todd, our new dog. He's such a funny little Rattie! (rat terrier), we love him. although the last few weeks have been hard with all the training, so we are going to  take him to petsmart, they have a dog training school, we'll need all the help we can get..

Brylee calls him "Toddie" ;)

per request... ;)

 A lot of family/friends have been asking why we are not posting any more pictures on fb. Well I realized that there's just too much access on facebook and I only want the people that we know and love to know where our house is and how it's coming along..
 I've taken hundreds of pictures everytime we go out there. ( I swear our new neighbors must think we sleep there) but we don't!! we just like seeing it come together! this has been a great experience for all of us, And YES, we are very eager to move in!
So, here are a few pictures of the house. it should be ready in 2 wks! (happy dance!!)

I need to find a better picture because the whole exterior is all done!

Christensen house 7/28/11

This is what our house looked like today. The framing is no longer there, is has now been covered by drywall, and it looked like the stucco equipment was just waiting for the green light to get started.

The house

We really have to get used to not call our house "the lot" because it's not a lot anymore, there is a house there and it is coming up fast!.
As usual, i didnt do posts for the following weeks, and i would have to figure out what week we're on. So far house is up, framing, then trusses. Roof is up and insulation, check. Next week will be dry wall, i have picked my kitchen cabinets, doors, etc. I will post some pics now and more tonight. I am super excited. Our neighboors are awesome! And i register the kids at their new school next Tuesday.

weeks 4 and 5.

woo hoo! there's a lot of progress, in fact Hyrum and I had to decide on windows, shingles, and stucco color and style. to be honest I was a little nervous because it all had to be done in a rush but I think we decided well and everything is looking like it's running smoothly. Yay! Framing of the house will begin sometime next week and after the framing is done, everything should go super fast, I hope.

week 3

Not much has changed since last week, its been so wet that they still can't pour the concrete, so we have to be patient and hope that mother nature helps out this coming next week. On a side note, we visited the lot last week and let the kids run around and play, when we heard a loud thud, It was Katie who had tripped on a string and landed on  the hole and was soaked with muddy water. sorry, no picture of that as she was really mad and wouldn't let us take one..   :-D. we love you K.!

Week 2..

Well, there is really not much change, except they've started digging, you can actually see the hole in the picture. This Utah weather is CRAZY, May is almost over and it's still snowing in the mountains.. All I can say is, "mother nature, you better make it up. make the summer last a little longer.." Going back to the lot. We are hoping that the weather warms up a little so they can finish digging and lay the concrete. yay!

This is what I love....

I can't believe how fast kids grow. Josh has been a great big brother and has been reading to his sisters every night for the last month or two. It's so cute that when I say, "ok guys, bed time" they get ready and go to the girl's room and they will lay down next to him.. I love it!

 Josh, this is proof that you love your little sisters.

Our future home.

After months and months of looking for a good lot to build our house, we finally found a great spot with great views of the lake and mountains, we absolutely love it!

We closed about 2 wks ago and now we're just waiting on the city on approve some things (soil, drainage etc) hopefully they're all minor things and Cam can get started digging and I think all that is taking place this Monday. Woo hoo!!

So we decided we're going to post pictures each week to see how it all comes together. "we, we, we so excited" (like Rebecca Black would say).
