The house this week.....

The progress made this week was good!!!

We got our hole dug...

Since the sewer ended up being only 5 1/2 ft deep. We

(after MUCH thought and research) decided to NOT put in a pump and to still go with the 9 ft basement walls.

Here is to hopin' it all works out :)

Our beautiful footings...

The foundation with the frames still on
The kids playing in the basement after the frames had been stripped off
This is facing south.

Tomorrow they will damp proof it and put the window wells on.

Halloween 2009

This year Tyler was a cave girl and Brayden was a ZOMBIE....

Grandma Ina Mae and her "little loves"
The kids meet up with old friends
to do a little trick or treating in the old neighborhood!

Here are the pumpkins the kids made all by themselves.

I can tell my kids are growing up... this year Brayden had a hard time deciding if he was even going to dress up! (I guess he is getting to that age) When I saw what he finally decided to be I had my doubts ,but when he meet up with all of his "buddies" they all looked the same :)

He is getting to be so social it is kind of fun to watch ,but also very sad.

Tyler on the other hand; still likes her mom and dad to go with her... HOORAY for a few more years!!!

We have decided to go with the 9 ft basement!! They are putting the foundation walls up today and pouring them tomorrow :)
