OK, I know it's been awhile since I updated this so you'll have to be patient with me as there are a lot of pictures to show. First though, I would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year and hope that your holidays were the best. The holidays were the best for me as we had the whole fam damily here so it was lots of fun!!!



Well, I went out to my brothers in Eagle Mountain for New Year's Eve and by the time we got there it was dark so I couldn't see anything on my house, but figured they hadn't done much since the week before had been slim pickins. But when we got to Brad's he told me that they had the siding done on the north side so I asked him if he had a flashlight and told everybody I was going for a walk. There were others who wanted to see it so Brandon, Nikki, Brad, Brenda and I went over to see it and sure enough, there was siding. It looked kind of green in the dark, but Brad said it was definitely blue and called it the Smurf House!







They also had all of the inside doors sitting in the garage.

We walked around inside the house, but nothing else had been done, so no more pictures were taken. Well I went back on Friday the 2nd to babysit Brenley, Haley, Camden and baby C (can't say his name since he's a foster child) and was able to watch the siding on the back of the house being put on. I first drove by to see the color in the light and sure enough it was blue!!

This is the view from the back that I got from my truck:

When I got to Brad's I put my camera in the window in his living room and turned on the video every half hour or so and this is the progression that I was able to see:

It started getting dark as they were finishing up, so this one is pretty blurry:

On my way home I stopped to get a close up of the finished product. They still hadn't finished the front so that was to come later.

Yesterday (the 10th) I went back out and to my surprise saw this:

I didn't expect all of the red on top. I thought the blue was going to go all the way to the top, but I really like it!!! It's very Red, White and BLUE.


Here's a closer shot of the front:

I took my friend Saranya out with me and she said it looks like a Barbie Doll house.






We went inside and had to go around the workers, but they were really nice and let us walk around. The bath tubs are were they're supposed to be:

The ceilings and walls were being worked on as we were walking around:

We then went back outside and saw Brad drive up then a couple of minutes later, Mom and Dad drove up and then Craig came along. We had a family reunion right there in the street. After we talked for awhile Saranya and I got a closer look at the front.

If you can, click on the picture above so you can enlarge it and see the detail of the thing on top of the window (I don't know what it's called?!?!) but it's kind of cool looking!

The red shingles make me think of something you would put on a bird house. If this were yellow I would expect Big Bird to come walking out!!!

This is me in front of MY Barbie Doll, Bird HOUSE!!! Hopefully by this time next month I will be inside, decorating!!!!!!!

Thanks for visiting my post. Hopefully soon I can have you visit the real thing!!
