We took a little break from house projects while I was pregnant(we’re always doing something to the house but kept it small) but this past month we are going full force ahead!

We(Josh, but I puttied holes and painted)put up board and batten on our basement stairs, got new carpet, picked out vinyl for our gym(Josh is going to install), did A LOT of yard work(we’re doing teen boxes for the first time!)with my dads help. We are still in the thick of all these projects, and I love it! I love making our house a home and working together on projects.

We were trying to finish up the basement stairs one night after the kids were in bed before they brought the new carpet The next day. I heard a little voice and it was Jackson who wanted to help, and we let him! He did great for his first time painting and it was fun to be together; Josh, Jackson and me(Josh not pictured because he hates them).
