So, I can finally put up some pictures of our big project. I can't tell you how nice it is to have a handy Kelly around! That man is Bob the Builder himself. I really am glad that he can do so much around here - from keeping the snowblower going, to building an entire house! The man is handy. Ask him to cook something ---- well . . . .that is not the same story! For sure! Oh well, good thing I love to cook! And helping with the baby - you know he'll be good for at least 17 minutes! What a guy! Anyway, I talked him into putting up bead-board wainscoting in the baby room. It looks great. He also built shelves in the closet - SO NICE.
Today the kids and I were supposed to go to the Rexburg temple open house - but the weather didn't allow us to. The roads were closed all over because of blowing snow. We were really disappointed! But, we tried to be productive - and you know how kids like to paint! So we began the great painting project of the room. (They had all done make-up work for school already, so I just kept them home). I decided about half way into the big paint, that I'm a bit too pregnant to be painting with 3 kids - (translation: I was a bit more grumpy than usual! : ) ). But we really did well. They were actually a lot of help - we got the 1st coat all on. We went to the Maverik for hot chocolate to celebrate their hard work (which, of course, Rae spilled all over the car ----and created another project!!! Ahhhhhh! Gotta love that girl! ) It was actually a pretty fun day - in spite of the storm!
We finally made it to Rexburg! We had a fantastic day. The temple was awesome. My kids really enjoyed seeing it all. They said they liked the mural room the best. Grandpa Jonesy would like the murals! Looked just like the top of Greys river with elk and deer. Fantastic! It was a cold, cold day but we had a great time spending the day together. We love to see the temple!
I am really excited and happy about how the room turned out! It looks fantastic. I'm feeling much more prepared for our arrival - to say the least! Thanks Jen for the crib and baby stuff - it is wonderful!
I love that they love being together. 
And here is the toothless wonder herself! That's right - she lost both her fronts. True to form, when she had her second front tooth get loose, Kelly said, "here, let me see how loose it is?" and promptly pulled it from her mouth. It is a wonder that those kids ever trust him. She was actually really glad that it was gone. She is a pretty cute 7 year old!
