I hate Projects!

We have been busy working on the house and I hate it. Everything is a mess, nothing looks complete and it won't be over for quite a while! Last weekend we redid the roof. It looks so much better. We put on new shingles, vents, and facia. We also put in some recesssed lights in the kitchen, computer room and Colton's room. It was easier to do it once the roof was open, that way my dad could get in the attic. We also insulated the attic as long as we had it open! It stays so much warmer in the house now, so hopefully our X-cel bill will be much much lower this winter. Anyways that project is done, but there is more to come. We ordered all new windows for the house last week. They will take about 3 weeks to come in and then that project will start. It will be nice to have all new windows becuase the ones that we have now are horrible. I can feel the wind right through them. Anyways, once that project is done that should be it for this winter. But next Spring we are residing the house! The projects are never ending, but it will all be worth it in the end! This picture was taken in July 2006. Next July you won't even recognize this house, at least I hope it looks better!

Colton is 4 Months Old!

Hey there everyone. Can you believe it Colton is four months old already! We took him to the doctor last night for his four month check-up. He weighs 17 pounds 6 ounces and is 25 inches long. He is quite the little chunk. The doctor said he is very healthy! Yeah, she also said we could start feeding him cereal... so tonight we gave that a try. Colton was not too excited about the cereal but I am sure the more the eats it the more he will like it. Colton sleeps through the night, yeah for me! He sleeps for about 10 hours straight at night. He is always smiling and giggling. It is so much fun, although I have no idea what we used to do in our freetime, becuase now it is all about Colton. Other than that not much else new. We are looking forward to Halloween, because we all now that Halloween is the best Holiday of them all. That is all the news I have for now.

Here is a link with pics of Colton. Most of them are recent pictures but some are a little bit older, they are just so cute I had to include them.

What is going on?

I have been watching CNN all morning and it is so disturbing knowing that someone would walk into a school and shoot 10 innocent little girls. What is going on in this world? The man obviously was very disturbed. But what really bothers me is this.... they keep saying that he lost a daughter 9 years ago. She died 20 minutes after she was born and he said (in a letter) that he hasn't been the same ever since. He stated that he is mad at God for taking his daughter from him, but yet on Monday morning this same man that was so hurt stormed into a school and took 5 little girls from their families. So if he was so hurt by losing his daughter why would he want to put so many other families through the same thing? I am at a loss of words, and I look at Colton I couldn't imagine what I would do if someone took him from me. I can't even pretend to imagine that I know what those families are going through, but I do know that it makes me appreciate every minute that I get to spend with my family and friends. I guess no matter who you are or where you live you are not safe, and it is sad that we have to live in a world like this.
