Two in one day - consistency is so important!

Kimber is helping Julie with the dishes on Mother's Day. Kimber loves to do dishes, bath Molly, tighten screws, anything that is helping the many adults in her life. Jacob's Mom commented that when she goes to school and realizes that other kids only have one or two parents, she'll be shocked. Tami is a great mom, but she has 10 other people to love and care for her.

I love when Laura puts in what her kids say, sooooo :
Kimber was leaving with Tami and Jacob so Don said "See ya later, alligator."
She turned around and in a firm voice said "I"m KIMBER."
It's always good to know who you are in life.

Notice Julie's rounded tummy. Their little girl is due July 8th. Julie looks and feels great - except on the 90+ degree days. Luckily, she works in an air conditioned office.


Sandi and Molly sampling Donnie's chicken fajita. No wonder the dogs stay in the kitchen when anyone is cooking.


This is the master bath shower. I LOVE it! The rest of the house is kind of rustic. Tumbled stone, quartzite, travertine. Don was looking at tumbled stone for in here, but when I saw this slab of marble, I fell in love. And he lovingly agreed. It's going in here and the laundry room. Kind of like our cars. Everyone drives 4 wheel drive trucks or jeeps, but I love my little BMW. This will be my touch of class.


This is the kids bath/shower. 6" tumbled stone. It looks really good. There is a decorative band about half way up the window, but the camera had trouble with the light from the sun streaming in and still being able to see the tile.

Here's the roof, about 1/2 way done.

The roof, tile in the bathrooms and the paint in the entire house will be finished this week. They start laying the floor tile Monday. The cabinets and countertops go in after that. We're almost there!! I hope to start moving the middle of June and be living there by June 22 or so. That gives us time to clean this house, get organized and be ready to go to Lake Powell July 6th. So much to do, so little time.
