This has been a crazy week. The Winstead's flew in on Tuesday for a visit. Then leah flew in on Friday as well as the rest of the Kelley clan. Leah left today after a five day visit. We have had alot of fun visiting with everyone. Noelle loves her cousins, Grandparents and aunts so much. Here are some pics of the finished wood floors. The top pics are Noelle picking the strawberries from our garden. We have hundreds of them growing. They taste horrible. I'll write again soon. Pete wants to finish watching 24.

Fun Times!

Finally after much work and money the hardwood floors are finished. Pete and I stayed in a hotel for three day while our floor guy Wes finished them. I can't say that they look extremely professional but they are really nice. They are 100 year old floors after all so there is only so much you can do. He charged us $725.00 for about 600 square feet which is a steal. We traded favors. We promised him a good referral and he gave us a great deal. Tomorrow he is coming to finish of the trim along the bottom molding which has been discolored from the old carpet. I promise that I will get some pictures of the new floors on the blog tomorrow.

We had a fun filled night tonight. Claire and the boys don't get here until later on tonight so we took advantage of the extra hotel room last night. Noelle went to bed really early so we were all able to visit and chat.

Our new ward is offering discount tickets to Lagoon so we are really excited. For any of you who will be in California in September Pete, Noelle and I have a free trip to Disneyland. We won a round trip air ticket, and two night hotel stay and some food coupons. Disneyland with Noelle for the first time will be a treat. I can't even imagine her shock with the small world ride. She loves her dollies! Anyway I will post some pics tomorrow.

Our New House

I promise I will be taking pictures of out new house very shortly. I have been so busy with my Etsy shop they I literally have not had time for anything more! Hopefully we will be refinishing our hardwood floors next week so I am really excited. I thought I would share a quick story. Noelle and I went to old navy today to find a black skirt for Grandma's funeral. They have these cartoon looking mannequin children. Noelle was just intrigued by them. She was afraid to touch them though. She kept calling them "Big Dollys." One of them was holding a dog leash with a dog attached. She especially loved the doggie. So we walked over to the adult section and there were mannequins without their heads on. Pretty typical because most of them usually don't. She was pointing and saying "Mama, Mama." I pulled our cart next to one of them and she started screaming. She was so confused. Then she said "Why does mom torture me so." Just kidding. But that's what she was probably thinking. Poor Nellies, it's so hard being a baby!
