Levi made a great mess with the strawberry cake. Yummy...

Corey got up on the existing roof (which will be cut off within the next week or so) to take this pix of the trusses.

It was really cool to watch the crane lift up the trusses. The framers (there is one on the left side) would walk on the top of the walls which was EXTREMELY hard to watch!

Easter morning

Here are all the kiddos, Easter morning.

Easter 2007

Easter afternoon was spent at my parent's house in Pleasant Hill. The kids searched for their eggs in teams. Michael was with Hannah. She LOVED looking for eggs! It was so cute to watch!
Joseph was with Levi who found some eggs on his own. Since Levi was born at the end of April this was his very first Easter!
The Josh and Liz team searched outside for their eggs.
Timmy tried to keep up with his small teammate, Matthew.

2nd floor

The second story went up really fast!
Here is the view from the old part of the house, 2nd story. The framing is for the master bedroom, bathroom and closet.

Here you can see where holes have been cut in the side of the house on the second floor so debris could be thrown directly into the dumpster.
The entire upstairs has been gutted. There is nothing left but the studs.
The new family room. Two windows will be going in on this side and on the other side will be french doors.
The garage is looking really good. There in the back corner will be my food storage area which will be fully enclosed with a door.
Corey took this picture this morning. He is standing at what was once the bathroom on the second floor. Here you can see the floor for the new second level that is going in on top of the garage.
