Fixing My Blog

I heard some of you weren't able to post a comment. Well try now and see if it works.

Oh its a cold one. I feel for the guys today. They are still working on the rafters. This coldness is hard on them and the equipment. This morning there is a crew out digging a trench for the gas line. I will call at lunch and see how its going out there.

I talked to mom. Not only did she go where its colder (this morning it was -35) she has to get use to the time change. They are a hour ahead of us. Being here for 3 weeks she was on our time. But she will manage fine. Jordan asked to go and pick mamma up this morning. She thinks we can just go back to the airport and get her.

I will take pics over the weekend and hopefully post some. I haven't been out to the acreage since last Saturday so I'm excited to go out and see the progress. The windows were delivered this week, as well as all the wiring and other stuff you need to wire a house. So exciting.

Mom's Already Home

Well her flight was only an hour so she's already home. Miss her already. Jordan was really upset when we were dropping her off at the airport. No mamma I neeeeeed you. How sad is that. Big tears, she loves grandma so much. But its less than 4 weeks before we see her again. We are going to Saskatoon for xmas so that will be nice.

The weather is bloody cold and the poor guys are freezing their butts off. Boy do I appreciate them! They had a tough day yesterday with the rafters. The wind made it more difficult for them. So not sure how far they'll get today or tomorrow since the weather has turned so cold. They hope to get the roof on, but not sure if its possible this week.

So mom and I went out and walked around the mall yesterday. Didn't want to go to far since it was so cold. It was nice. Just walked and talked. Well nothing else to report. Chow for now. Oh and stay warm everybody!

Update

Sorry to the few that read my blog. I have been so busy these past few days. Mom leaves tomorrow so I'm trying to finish up some loose ends. I'm so grateful that she was here, for so many reasons. Well she's mom, that counts as one, she is an adult (adult conversation) playmate for the kids. (they love having mamma here to play). She has been a huge help to me. I just love her so much. And we got to have some outings together which was really nice. Today we have a few hours to go out. I enjoy that time the most.

So the house update. I haven't been out there since Saturday, but the 2nd floor was done. The front and back decks are done. And the rafters for the roof are going up today. I will have to try and go out there in the next day or so and take pics. And yes I know I haven't had a chance to download my other ones yet.

Thursday we have a guy digging a trench, a hydro something truck and a field rep from Atco gas. (Atco gas has a high pressure gas line that runs right through our property so someone has to be out there while the digging goes on). So that will be a busy day. And Friday we have a 500 gallon propane tank being delivered because our gas meter won't be put in for 4-6 weeks.

Well I have to run I'm waiting for a fax then I'm off. Dug out my longjohns to cold out there. I guess winter is here to stay.

Garage Walls Are UP!

Yes we have garage walls and tomorrow the house walls go up and maybe the floor for the 2nd floor will be done. Oh my goodness I just can't wait. Can you tell if I'm excited? lol Just a little huh.

Mom has been such a huge help! Trev called in a panic he needed some plans printed off the computer and brought out. So all of my other errands got put on hold till tomorrow. So I got out there just in time to help out with lunch. Made the guys some grilled cheese and warmed up some home made soup Trev made. So mom made supper for us tonight. That was so nice. I tell her all the time how much I appreciate her help.

Tyson was really upset once he found out that I was out there without him. So I promised him after school tomorrow I will take him out. (then I can take more pics) still haven't had time to down load more onto the computer. Soon. Well its way past my bedtime. 11:30 I better get my butt to bed. Nighty night all.

Been Busy

Well yesterday was Jordan's birthday. My youngest is now 4 years old. Wow I can't believe it. Although you ask her how old she is she will tell you something different. She already is arguing about her age.

We all went out to the acreage. Trev had to be out there by 8am they were pouring concrete for the piles. Then they put the floor on. OMG we have a floor. And the stairs to the basement went in. I'm vibrating as I type this I'm so excited. lol

Anyways, I had a friend Kelly and her daughter come out to visit. So we had cake and ice cream for Jordan. (I went to safeway for the cake and I saw Jane and Lloyd going in I said hi to Lloyd but Jane you weren't around sorry didn't have time to look for you).

Jordan opened her presents and loved everything. We didn't get her much only because xmas is in 5 weeks and I will be buying stuff for her bedroom. Haven't decided what theme to go with for hers yet.

We had family movie night last night. I bought the movie Ratatoui cute show. MIL was a little freaked about all the rats lol

I will have to post pics later still haven't had a chance to get them downloaded yet. Oh and can I say not impressed by the white stuff. Not ready for it only because we are building a house.

My kids

Here are the kids on picture day at school. In Sept. Jane I think I got it! (loading the pics lol)

Our Hole

So this is our hole. Isn't it great!
