A Crazy Month.

Last month we had the pleasant surprise of finding that the sewer had backed up into our house...YES! The SEWER! It was definitely as gross as you can imagine.

We called a plumber to come and snake the line and then they came back the next day to run a camera through the sewer line to find out the problem. To make a long story short, they found that the entire sewer line from our house to the street needed to be replaced. They gave us an estimate that was completely insane so I decided to get some other estimates. I ended up having 4 other estimates and the next closest estimate to the first was $5000 less! Can you believe that? By the way...don't call "action plumbing" unless you want to pay WAY too much.
Anyway, we finally found an excavation company that did the work for us...as you can see it was a mess!


We woke up in the morning to find a huge tractor in our front yard. The girls were completely mesmerized with watching them dig up our front yard. I was sad as they destroyed our lawn and my flower bed.


The trench was long and destructive but the workers did a great job! They were quick and efficient and they actually left the yard in pretty good shape...considering the extent of the project.

We are happy to have this project crossed off the list of things to be done. And even more happy to not have sewer waste in our basement!

Easter Morning

My cute girls!

Posing for the camera!



The girls were so excited when they came out and saw their Easter baskets. I love the look on Saige's face. She LOVES the movie Bolt. We had a great day!

Names?

Now comes the task of naming this little girlie. Please leave a comment if you have any ideas. We love the names Rylie and Saige but they are already taken....any ideas???

What is it...?

Check out the video below to see what we're having. Boy or Girl?

Thanks for your votes...the verdict is in

Thanks to everyone who voted on our baby poll.  We've had a fun and exciting morning as we had our 20 week ultrasound and found out if our baby is a boy or a girl...unfortunately, you all have to wait until we announce the sex to our family tomorrow night.  

The poll ended with a total of 28 votes...75% for boy and 25% for girl.  

Stay tuned to find out the official results.

My first quilt block

Last night I made my first quilt block.  I was so excited to take a quilting class for enrichment and we had an excellent instructor who was very patient with me.  It felt so good to use my sewing machine and create something that will be great!  It may not look like much but I'm excited to continue working on it.  

BBQ Anyone?

So, I looked outside today and noticed a bird sitting on the barbeque with a stick in its mouth...when I went to check it out I found that the bird had found a new home.  BBQ bird anyone?
