Lots of progress!!

Our house is getting some of the final details done and it's so exciting! Here's a sneak peak....

Master shower...floor and grout to be done this week.


Boys bathroom


Looking from the game room through to the kitchen/living area. On the right is the 1/2 bath & laundry room and on the left is a wall of pantry cabinets.


On the back porch, they wrapped the columns in cedar, which will be stained eventually.


Kitchen!! We've picked out the granite too, so that'll come once we've had the cabinets painted.


Trim around the doors, closet shelves/rods, and some baseboards have been installed! (This is Katelyn's room)



Window in the guest room with three sweet kiddos!


Exterior fireplace!


This was the beginning of the interior fireplace....BUT they forgot to put the decorative part in, so they had to redo it the next day. Glad I caught that...I've been dreaming of a brick fireplace for years, and was pretty sad to see this...but they fixed it!


I love the final product! Lex is planning to make the mantel, so that's to come! And eventually built in bookcases on both sides too.





So this week, the floors will begin....refinishing the original wood floors, adding new wood in game room & hallways, tile in the bathrooms, etc. Then painting the cabinets, trim, doors, etc. The exterior trim details will continue as well! Not too much more to go! We are all so excited!


More August Fun

Fishing with Pappy at the ranch!


Donuts at the Poth City Park




Kyler has become friends with Teddy and asked me several nights to take him and Teddy's picture after they fall asleep. So here ya go...sweet boy! (The boys are sleeping on their mattresses on the floor since their beds are in storage right now.)





Happy Birthday Celebrations for Mimi, Katelyn, & Pops!! Hard to believe Pops is already 70! Best looking 70 year old I know!








Me and the kiddos sporting our Mouse Model shirts for Drew! We love you Drew!!


Random screenshots while the kids were face timing with Mimi & Pops!



Our official "we sold our house" pic from our realtor! They gave us the best housewarming gifts too....can't wait to put them in the new house!


Gizmo :)


Poor kid just has mommy to play with all day while the big kids are at school. So he's often offering to help with chores. During "quiet time" he comes to show me how much dust he found while he was cleaning his room with a magic eraser! And how proud he is of making his bed! I love it, but it's kind of sad too. I've got to get him into preschool soon....he needs kiddos to play with too!


Fixing his hair while we were waiting for our dinner one night at Circle G....this kid is so fun!


Radio Flyer swimming pool for two :)


I said, lets go play outside.....ha ha ha....they thought they were playing!! ;)


Poth Pirates - First Day of School in Poth

We are officially Poth Pirates! These kiddos have done so well adjusting to a new school, making new friends, new schedules, new rules, etc! So far so good!






Upstairs at Circle G...



Meet the teacher night Pep Rally! With Harper, their cousin, and Conley, Haper's other cousin!


First day of school Breakfast! (my printer was running out of colored ink, should have been a yellow pencil, green leaf, etc....lol!)




Kyler is really into playing school these days too. He gives himself  "homework"! It's too cute. I hope he enjoys school work this much when he gets older too! 


Schlitterbahn Corpus Christie

We took a little mini vacay before school started to Schlitterbahn in Corpus. It was fantastic! Perfect for young kiddos. Lots and lots of 'lazy' rivers, that were not so lazy and actually more like rapids! One was wave pool style and surged a big wave that pushed you all the way around a big circle. We stayed on that 'ride' for at least 2 hours. We also went to the beach while we were in Corpus and the waves were big and perfect for lots of boogie boarding! Everyone got their first sunburns (we had so much fun we forgot to stop and reapply sunscreen...ooops!) 












Our Gizmo....always has something in his hands he's pretending to be something else ;)


The resort had a great restaurant and even showed a movie for the kids at night! They thought this was so cool!
