Today, Chris and I picked out the wood floor for the house. It should arrive in about 2 weeks. Boy, are we going to be busy. We are putting wood floors throughout the entire house.

Well it is official, while our house has had a for sale sign in the yard for about a week, it is now on MLS. Anyone in the market for a new house?

Daddy's Little Helpers

Chris installed new mini blinds. He is becoming quite the handyman!

This is a picture of the new paint color. It is called summertime! Thanks, Eric!!!!


Caleb loves to paint! He is helping Chris paint the living room walls.

Madi enjoys painting also!

We are moving to Montgomery, so we have been working hard trying to get our house ready to be put on the market. We have actually already moved into our new house in Montgomery. This week, we have been painting. The kids love to help and do a great job of it!

My camera went dead as I was taking the pictures of the guys, so I will get one next week and add it to the blog. You can see Chris, Daniel, and part of Jason in the background smiling for our picture.

This summer, Chris and I have been a part of a summer bowling league through our church. There are 12 teams total and we bowl every Monday night. It has been a lot of fun and we will miss it when it is over, especially, the three free games a day! Our two teams consist of couples from our Sunday School class and some other friends. The wives are on one team -- "The Holy Rollers", and the husbands make up another team -- "The Strike-outs". Well, let's just say The Strike-outs have some great players and The Holy Rollers play for fun, not really to win. I believe as of last week, we were tied for last place. Hey, at least there is another team that struggles like we do. Our husbands, however, are tied for second place. They are really good.

On Monday night, it was finally time to bowl each other. We had been waiting for this night all season. Our handicap is really high, so the guys had to bowl exceptionally well in order to beat us. The interesting thing is they bowled really well, but so did we. On our first game, we all bowled over 100, which is very uncharacteristic of our bowling record. We actually won! Poor guys, they couldn't believe it! The second game, we didn't do as well, and the guys won. We were all tied up, so it came down to the last game. The girls were in the lead most of the game and then as the game came to a close, we calculated the pin count, and amazingly, the girls won again! And to top it off, we won the overall pin count as well!!! It was a lot of fun and the guys were great sports about it, even though we rubbed it in a little bit. :) Hopefully, they will remain on the top of the leader board, and maybe we can move out of last place. Unfortunately, after church last night, we went back to the bowling alley to play for fun and the boys beat us. Well, I guess things are back to normal.

King's Orchard

We went to King's Orchard today and picked fresh blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. It was the end of the strawberry season, but they were still delicious. They were juicy and fabulous. We went with some friends from church an the kids had a ball! Here are some of the pictures of our fun day!
