Summer Fun

So, I understand that I'm a slacker and should have had these photos on the blog a long time ago, but as you can see by the pics, it's been a pretty busy summer. I guess I should say busy year because not all of these were this summer. I think the earliest of these are from about February. They are in no order except by the activity, but at least they made it. Enjoy!

Projects going on at our home this summer

We have been very busy with projects this summer around our house. We started with cement and have just put in sod in the front and back yards. Our projects in the house have continued as well as we are getting ready for the new baby in October. We moved Zack into his own room with a bunk bed and are going to begin working on the nursery as we get the chance. We changed the front room from the office to a living room and our loft from a sitting room into the exercise room and we moved the office into our room. We will be working on all this throughout the next couple months and then take a break when the baby comes. Next summer we hope to be able to put in a sprinkler system and a fence so Zack will be staying in the backyard to play instead of him running out in the street all the time. I am just so glad that we live on a fairly quiet street with minimal traffic, but that too will change when our new church (stake center) that is being built just a house away from us will be done next year. Sorry for the delay in posting this info and for all the ones to come. I just haven't had a whole lot of time with all the projects. The following are pics that we took for some of the above mentioned projects. Still a work in progress, but we'll eventually have a finished project:
