Backyard, Bathrooms and Naomi

So while things are not quite done yet (understatement) I had to update because a lot has been going on! First off Brianna came over on her day off to do slave labor ;) we worked in the back yard to clear it to help prep for grass. Still undecided if were going to do sod of seed, I think for time wise we are leaning towards sod. Now I know that we aren't anywhere close to getting the whole back yard but I am hoping to get 2/3 of it worked on because its pretty much summer and Naomi just wants to play out side but our back yard is a tetanus trap. Over grown weeds/grass wood piles stacked everywhere and brick, SO. MUCH. BRICK! So she came over around noon and we ran over to Whole Foods to get some lunch and refreshment before we started since it was around 80 degrees, thankfully with a cool breeze as our back yard get direct and full sun for the majority of the day. Came home ate and I put the girl down for a nap so we could work, work, work. While it may not seem like much was done, let me tell you a lot was done! I don't know how many bugs we killed, slugs we squished with our fingers and then cringed at the yuckiness or trips with the wheel barrow we did. We were sweaty and hot but felt good at the end of the day and really the back yard looks so much bigger now!

We let Naomi push the cart and man did she love it! She was running around the store trying to run over little old ladies! She caught on pretty quick and pretty soon she was throwing everything in the cart! Oh dear!

North side, side yard, this is the side that will take a while to organize but we need somewhere to put things until we get situated!

Looking south, wood stacks ALL along the fence, garbage scattered everywhere, toys everything. Lets get to it!

Looking north, just out of the frame on the right is a huge stack of wood from the "deck" that was here. I am sad I didn't get a picture of the deck before it was taken down, it was a pretty epic fail on deck building. 

Looking west, fence falling down and more tires. 

After cleaning: ALL the wood cleared, pool deflated and drying and some of the brick pulled up. We decided to let the boys wrestle with the old half bath vanity. 

So much wood we moved! Not stacked all pretty like but the pieces are all different and nails and it was hot haha. 

Like I said: SO. MUCH. BRICK!!!!!!! and its not even all of it... seriously? seriously? It wasn't even on flat ground!

Ugh this was so tough to get up! from sitting for years, some were completely covered, we didn't even know it was there! We both found a great love for the shovel that helped us pull them up and find the hidden ones.

~On to the hall bath~

So as we worked on the back yard this past week the boys dominated the hall bath, still not done but its so exciting I had to share what we have so far!

Day one, taring up the floor down to the sub floor, taking out the toilet and the vanity. Go Kyle, Go!

The worst corner by the tub where the water would just pour on the ground. Thankfully we didn't have to replace the sub floor too. 

Ok, NOT our bathroom but this is a picture from the Tides of an open vanity which we are going to do, at least some version of it. I'm not 100% sold but well figure it out. The boys are going to build it. 

Starting to lay tile. Thank you, Thank you to the Gevas's for bringing us free 16X16 tile for both the upstairs bathrooms and vanity. We bought the other stuff just to add a little pizzazz!

Nearly finished floor, everything down just need to put the grout in.

Another close up. 

Haha yeah... the hall way...

~Appointment~

And then on Friday I had my first appointment with the doctor that I will see through out my pregnancy and hopefully for delivery. Like I said Sutter is making changes that I'm not down with. However my doctor said if a bond is made between patient and doctor sometimes they will make more of an effort and come in out of hours to deliver so that is my goal. I have a new doctor, a lady doctor who has 2 young kids. She's really sweet and loved Naomi even when she was getting in to EVERYTHING! She did an ultra sound, Naomi even helped. She was having troubles getting the head but Naomi found it haha. No really she did. Sadly the printer was not working so once again no picture to share of baby... I swear at this rate the first print out pictures will be when we go in for the 20 week one! (oh yeah so for those of you who are just finding out I'm prego- scroll down a couple blogs and you'll get more of the story.) But the little heart rate is fine and baby #2 was moving, moving, moving!

~Golfing~

So this morning Keith was watching golf and, well, decided Naomi needed to start so here are a few pictures of her "golfing" for the first time. 

Keith getting her started

She was pretty stoked

Just a little assistance

Working on her swing

Hit it Naomi!

Swing!
