An update on the house. Not much is going on. They have the plumbing and electrical done. They have also put in the fireplace, bath tubs and showers. I feel like they are not working on it at all so hopefully Im wrong and it will be done by June 30th. We picked out our appliances and ordered them today so thats another thing to mark off my long list of to do's.
We found Keighton a new daycare that I think we are going to love. Her daycare will be close to the house so that will be nice. We will have to drive clear across town till we move because the spot was starting the end of May, but oh well it will give me a chance to go look at the progress on the house.
Michael graduated the Fire Academy last week and so he will be home at night now, so that will be great. We are so proud of him. We never thought that the day would come where he wouldnt have to work all day and then go to school till 10. He still have EMT to take this summer, but he wont be working at the school so all he will have is school during the day.

Our House

Well we are in the process of building our first home. It will be located in Cooper Ridge and we are super excited. I am trying to pick all the stuff for the inside and boy is it hard. Its hard to tell what your whole house will look like with a small little swatch of carpet, tile, cabinets and counter tops. I think I am pretty close to being done picking everything. I have doors and a couple little things. It will be completed by the 30th of June so we are trying to get everything worked out before then. We are trying to find Keighton a daycare in Lubbock and we have lots to do before then. We are going to try and take pictures of the process, but Cooper Ridge is not on the way out of Lubbock coming towards Levelland so its hard to swing by everyday to see the progress they have made.

Keighton's 1st Birthday

Well our baby turned 1 on the 30th, boy does the time fly by. We have enjoyed every minute of it. She had a ladybug themed party and her cake came out so good. We really can't believe a year has already passed. She is growing up so fast.We have more pictures of her eating the cake and opening presents, but they are on Casey's camera

Whats been going on

Well its been months since I have got on here and wrote anything. We have been so busy as a family we never have time for anything. Michael goes to work all day then to school Monday through Thursday and every other weekend. On one of the off weekends he has Army reserves in Amarillo to go to so he is always going. We have one weekend to get to spend together and usually he is so tired we stay home and play with Keighton. I cant wait for him to get done with the Fire Academy and get on at a station. I have been busy with work and being a mom. I feel like there is never enough hours in the day. I leave at 7 and return at 6 so I dont have much time with Keighton before she goes to bed. Keighton amazes me everyday. She is so smart and so advanced. She is 9 months old and weighs 18 lbs. She is starting to walk, as long as we hold a toy or cell phone out. She will take a couple of steps and then decide crawling is much better and faster. She loves being around other kids and she is just a socal butterfly. Not at all like me.
My family is getting ready for a new member of the family. Mr. Carson McKinley Stevens should be here the first of February unless Chelseas blood pressure doesnt go down and then we will find out next week if she has to have a c-section. I am so ready to see him and hold him. I think they are going to be wonderful parents and his nursery looks like it come out of a magazine. It is so cute. Chelsea has the best decorating ideas.
I am going to try and keep up with my blog better and I will be posting pictures of Keighton soon.

Busy Busy Busy

Man I have been so busy here lately. I work all week long at the school and then I have my own business making personalized labels and stamps which is doing really good . I feel that I am always working. Even on the weekends. I had this bright idea to make these awesome frames and try to sell some and it just has taken a lot to get them done. Me and Casey have spent long hours on these things trying to get them ready for Christmas gifts. Not sure if we will sell any, but if not then I guess we will have lots of gifts for family. Here is a picture of all our hard work.
