Sorry to my family for not posting a new blog lately! I know you were all wanting to see the latest on the room! So here are a few newer pics of Payton working on her "masterpiece" lol! AND the new dresser to match the bed! LOVE IT!

Beautiful!

Working on the owl!

She does a great job...

So, I posted some of these on facebook and Payton said that she's got some messages and phone calls from people wanting her to paint in their house. She said she is going to start on her own business, which I think is a GREAT idea! Hello!? This is the going thing right now.. and I told her I know so many pregnant gals who would love to have some art work done in their nursery as well! These wall murals go for lots of mula' $$$$!!!! She still has two quotes to paint and the growth chart! I can't wait! This girl is 16 and busy... so I will take her when I can! Haha!

Dad, Cathy, and Shae came up last night to see the room and visit. They brought pizza and dad helped Josh with some of the light switches in the room I wanted changed =) Poor dad, we thought all the breakers to the room were off, well the closet wasn't. He got bit.. and it scared me to death! Needless to say, we just shut the whole breaker box off now when we are working in there with wires and what-not!

Latest chicken news- we had 15 new baby chicks born on Wednesday! The same day as my mother-in-law's b-day! I mean, we have chickens everywhere! All different ages too! Our biggest ones are getting to venture out of the coop while we are home now, and they know exactly where to go when its "roosting" time! I think they are so funny! Last weekend we took a drive up past Natural Dam to look at some goats. I think we are going to buy a few and Josh said I could get their babies too. =) So the mommas a.k.a nannies and the kids will be coming! We just have to get the fence up first. These goats are going to help a lot with briers and brush we need cleared! ;) It's going to start looking like Old McDonald's farm around here! How fun will that be for Jake to grow up around!

YES.. Jake is the name we've settled on but most of you knew that already. I am still trying to pick a middle name. Goodness, naming a child is hard!

This was a short work week due to the holiday but let me tell ya, it was a LONG and HARD work week. We were slammed and had many of the "problem" customers. This prego girl was on her feet wayyyy too much and the end results = swelling! Yap, it's begun. Approx ~ 9 weeks left and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable and huge! I'm ready for this little angel baby to get here! SO GLAD it's the weekend again! Whew... I am resting all weekend! Probably going to do a little swimming and spending times with friends, but that is always relaxing to me!

Here are a few pics from the 4th of July weekend!

Swimming at Nanny's


Jim grilling those famous burgers! ;)


4th of July Dinner! DELISH!


Josh and I at Narissa's b-day and pre 4th party!

Last but not least, one of my best buds, Amanda Teff, has checked into the hospital tonight to be induced!!! This means that little Jake's buddy, Townsend Rae Teff will be here tomorrow sometime! I can NOT wait!!!!! I pray everything goes well for Amanda and she has a smooth delivery!

Happy weekend everyone!
