I finally got some pictures of the house. This is the front and the back of the house. Mike likes stone homes. The back is siding because it is an addition to the house.


Mike has done so much to the house. I feel like he's taken it from a first time home and turned it into a palace. In the pictures is shows the vaulted celing he put in, the new stairs (the old ones were skinny and steep), and the new kitchen! He added in the window/eating bar between the kitchen and the dinning room. He took down all the walls and put in insulation (there was none) and he is sheetrocking it all now. He made the master bedroom bigger, added a walk in closet and made a closet for the second bedroom. He is putting tile in the kitchen, utility room and bathroom. It's going to look amazing!

And this is the new garage! We have a lot of our stuff stored at a members home and as soon as we finish this we can get out of their way. Mike is most excited about this addition to the house. The tresses were the hardest part so far. I helped Mike put them up. And we got a great deal off craigslist for a 16ft garage door!

Stockton Shower

Tonight was the shower in Stockton. It was so much fun. A lot of ladies came and made the party a blast. One of the games we played was where everybody was given a bag of candy and you couldn't say the word "baby". If you did the person who called you out on it got to take one of your candies. Thank you to all for coming!

I did update the list and took off the stuff that I got at this shower.

On the 4th of July Joel Moreau proposed to Elizabeth Davis (Mike's Mom)! They are getting married on September 15th in the Nauvoo Temple. Their reception is on the 17th at the Stockton Church Building.

Baby Showers All Over Missouri

There are a total of three Baby showers that will be occurring. Which ever area you are in you are welcome to attend!

I put a list up of items we are in need of. Gently used items from previous children you have had are welcome and greatly appreciated.

We haven't made up the invitations yet but Kristina (a very good friend) is hosting a shower in Springfield, Mo. It hopefully will be at my new house if we can get it finished soon. Mike is working very hard on it.

My Mother-in-law is throwing a shower at her home in Stockton, Mo. We will have cake, punch, some games and a good ole time.

My Mom is throwing a shower in Harrisonville, Mo (where I grew up). We decided to make it a pool party! Healthy snacks (and some not to healthy), flavored water bottles and a bunch of women soakin in the pool and talkin it up. Don't be embarrassed about wearing a swim suit, just throw on some clothes you don't mind getting wet and come join the fun. Don't forget your floatie.
