We Have a Hole!

Thursday they were supposed to start digging our basement... so my bestie, Vanessa and I ran out to the property on our lunch to see it... only to find no hole, just a machine... BUT the machine was actually exciting enough for me!

so of course I took a picture with it :)
Friday they started the basement and so after the Catfish Fest. we went out to see the progress...
my boys walking to see the hole!

Ryan, B, and my dad talking about something super important I'm sure :)


My boys and I on our front porch :)
okay, okay, where our porch will be!



Corbin and I on the porch :)

Brycen is already in love w/ the dirt piles :)

I have a feeling I should take up stock in Shout stain remover :)

Johnny (our excavator) was sweet and took B for a big ride and let him help dig a few times all by himself!
This was sooo exciting for Brycen and something I hope he will always remember- that he helped dig the basement :)

digging :)
Saturday after soccer we went out to see the finished product!

this is the view from where the walk out will be

from where the garage will be

side opposite of the garage


to some it may just be some dirt and a hole in the ground- to Ryan, the boys, and I-- it's our dream coming to life!

HOW EXCITING!!! I can't wait to see pictures of you guys on the "real" porch! Happy building to you guys! I think when you give birth to a boy they should automatically send you home with a supply of Shout! There's never enough! Les asked Griffin the other day how he gets so dirty and sweaty...Griffin's reply..."It's a man's job to get dirty and sweaty!"...So I'm sure Brycen is following the "man code" on the dirt! LOL.

I may actually make it to zumba thursday night..I hate that we didn't do it last week. There is one tonight at the other place but I can't make that one. I can't wait to see what you think of it--I looooove it!
