Our Very Own Mound of Dirt!

So sorry it is has been so long since I last posted, it's amazing how busy life gets. I give a big thumbs up for all of you that find the time to post on a regular basis, I so wish I could be like you!
So much has happened in our lives since February. Saige turned 8 and was baptized, I will do a post shortly with pictures of her baptism, I want to make it a post all about Saige. Hayden had his first stitches, I think this was harder for me than it was him, as I was the one that had to pin him down for the doctor.
My work's partnership split and I now work in one of the owners homes in Alpine, that is one long story that I probably won't post as I still need to keep my job and it's not a very nice story...
We have decided to build a house, we made this decision the end of June and it has kept us extremely busy since. We are building with McArthur Home's and so far the process hasn't been to horrible of an experience. We have had a few glitches, however I'm guessing that is probably a common thing when building. It was fun to go to the design center and pick everything out and knowing that everything will be brand new, however it was harder than I thought it would be. It turns out that I am extremely good at picking things out for others however when it comes to picking things out for myself it's a different story.
Trav and I don't always see eye to eye, especially when it comes to home decor, but I am pretty proud of us we really didn't argue over to much and I think the outcome will look really good!
We choose a Corner Lot and the back of our lot is next to a church, which is extremely nice as it already has a fence up and we will only have 1 neighbor next to us.

There were a lot of rocks they had to clear off, but they finally got it done and got it staked out.



While digging the hole they hit a very Large vein of Rocks, you can't see them very good in this next picture put they are really big. I guess it's means our foundation will be really strong... LOL



This week they are working on blasting the rocks out so they can finish the hole and hopefully next week they will start the process of pouring the foundation, I will try hard to keep up on the post!
