The tree must come down...

















Maybe we can push it and it will fall...

















Ok...Maybe George can get it down :)



















Sarah working on the door












Dad working on the windows













One of the rare pictures of Mom (she's usually the picture taker) working on the windows

















All work and no play makes everyone frustrated so off to the river we went












Mom and Mark...the water was a tish chilly













Even the Prius got to play in the mountains!

Mom & Dad's time at the House




George finally backfilling around the front of the house.














Mark and Mom working on landscaping.













Most of the windows in and some of the backfill.
The backfill needs to go all the way up to the door!












Mark working on a very small area and then sending boards up the ladder.














Doors are in....but we still kept Mark out!













Before the backfill...













After the backfill! It's starting to look like a house!














Front windows going in.











All the windows in!













View out of the front windows.













Dad working on the spiral staircase. This was suppose to be a quick one day project...but it ended up taking 2 days!
















Mark and the finished project.













The entire crew...and a MN shaped rock to the left of Dad.

4th of July with the Family!







Mark and Ron in front of the house















Kim and Sarah in the shed

















Mom and Sarah looking at a cool spider. And for the record, no Sarah is not helping mom with moving rocks. We made sure of that!














Sarah getting our food ready











The hole where the spiral staircase will go in












The back windows...YEAH!!! They're in and they didn't fall out the next day.














Dad and Nakita playing catch















The big windows that need to still go in (VERY HEAVY!!)










This is only a part of the wood Mom and Kim moved all weekend.










For those of you intersted in the the new baby that will be joining the Bruemmer Family...here are a few shots of the "mini" shower we had while Kim and Mark's parents were in town.








Baby gifts from the McClure's












Baby Gift from Bob and Chris Bruemmer












Gift from Mom...yes she quilted the enitre book











Some things from Kim...Even though they said no pink, I just couldn't resist the pink "Princess in Training" outfit from Disney. The turtle actually is a night light and it projects the stars on the ceiling.












And last but not least, the bump. I'm sure Sarah will kill me for putting this picture up, but it really shows how far along she is and the other pictures don't! In this picture, we are making fun of a circle belt she was trying on and how well it blended in with her shirt.
