Here is the front of the house with the roof trusses.

This is the roof over the bonus roof.

Front of the house with trusses!

This week they have gotten SO much done! These builders are wonderful and so great at keeping subs on a good schedule! Plumbers, electricans, and hvac are all in and will be done early next week. 4 way inspection next week and then it is Keven's turn! Yahoo for insulation, drywall, and paint!

Latest and greatest

We haven't had a lot of progress this week...we've been waiting on our roof trusses. We are optimistic that our house will still be finished by the middle of November...hopefully in about 6 weeks. Here are some pictures of the framing.This is our front porch (on the left), with Hannah's room next to that and Spencer's room on the far right. Hannah loves to show everyone "her window."

Yes! We will not only have a 3 car garage, but I hope to be able to use it.

This is a picture of our family room, from our kitchen. It's not much to look at right now...but that corner will have a fireplace some day!

This week, we hope to have our trusses installed, the bonus room framed, and get a start on our HVAC, plumbing and electrical. If all goes right, by next week we'll be insulating and drywalling. Look for those pictures!!!!!!

And then there was framing!!!

Here is the updated house progress! Foundation and framing!!

Getting ready to pour foundation!!

I must say that I have been super impressed with our builder. They have totally kept to the schedule they have outlined! If they keep it up then we just might actually

be in the first of November!!

Wow! Are you shocked!?! I am actually blogging! Keven and I want to document our house being built so we decided the best way to do that would be to blog it!

So here is the beginning! WE HAVE A HOLE!!! Yahoo!! It is so exciting to finally see some progress!!!

And we got some new family pictures! Many thanks to my great sister-in-law, Jamie!! She took them and did a great job!

Our kids are getting SO big! Where does the time go?!!

What a busy summer! Keven and I were a Ma and Pa on Trek, Cary went to Girls Camp, and then there was the Brighton Staff Reunion. We also spent lots of time doing our construction loan, getting house plans finalized, etc. Life has slowed down since summer ended and we stopped attending the Canyon Rim Ward. Our callings at the Canyon Rim Ward kept us very busy so now we have lots more free time in our schedules. It's different, but nice as well. Sure miss all our friends there!

Stay posted for more home progress! And more Wall Family updates!

I finally am updating with pictures! I had my sister-in-law take some shots of my kids for Mother's Day. Here's a few of my favorites.

Spencer always, and I mean always, has his finger touching his lips. I was so glad Jamie caught this pose of him!

Thanks again Jamie!

Now for a Wall family update. As many of been asking -- yes, we are officially moving. We are sad to leave behind such wonderful people, but also excited for what this new move will bring.

When Keven and I bought this home 4 years ago we felt very strongly that it was where we were meant to be. We looked at several different places, tried to put in offers on two other houses, and then we found our current home. I still remember walking into the front living room - I turned to Keven and told him that I knew this was the house.

When we first thought of selling it was very worrisome because we bought our home on the high, high tide of the housing boom before the economy fell. Throughout the selling process we have felt the Lord's calm influence, and we feel so grateful for the way everything has come together.

This ward has become our family. We have made many dear friends that will be our friends always, we have been given wonderful opportunities to serve, and we have been blessed in too many ways to count.

We find we are still seeing the Lord's blessings as we start to move forward. As we have experienced this process of selling, moving, and then purchasing again we have found the Lord is always aware of our needs. Random things always seem to hiccup in the works and then suddenly everything comes together in ways we never imagined. Our hearts are very full of gratitiude.

We will close on our house the end of May. We will then close 2 weeks later on some land that is a bank repossession and begin the build process this fall. The land is located in South Jordan, about 106th S. and 2500 W. We are so thankful for this opportunity to take further steps towards fulfilling goals of our little Wall family.

I am officially such an awful blogger. But no one is perfect, right?

I will try to update as best I can. Here is a person by person list of funness!

Keven = Busy finishing the semester, balancing his new love of racquetball with his Dad, working super hard at work, working super hard at home, working super hard with some new business ventures. Does everyone see the working hard theme?!! What a stellar man!

Cary = let's see, right now my life consists of a few main themes. Kids, family, Brighton, YW's, United Health Care, and 5k prep. My kids and family are my world. Sure love them, more then I can express! Hannah told me last night that I was her best friend....now that is pure joy. I asked her if I could always be one of her best friends and she said yes. I hope she remembers that in about 12 years! Anyway, Brighton is taking up a lot of my time these days. I am working on helping to produce a new CD for this camp and it has been quite the project - but I love any excuse to play the guitar! YW is great! I absolutely love the YW in our ward. You are the best ladies! I also absolutely love the other leaders I work with! I have a small part time job I do with United Health Care, and when I say part time is really is about 4 hours a month. I am a health site reviewer and help review and approve new health sites for this insurance company. I love this work! It allows me to use my degree in Health Care without being away from my kids. I am also prepping for a 5k. At the beginning of the year I planned to do a 10k, but I think I was a little overzealous. I actually really dislike running, but my sweet sister in laws have encouraged me to try running with them. So here comes the Taylorsville 5k in July! Thanks for the encouragement Whitney and Jamie!

Hannah = just turned 3!! What a big girl! She is always amazing us with her growth and knowledge. Her prayers are always entertaining and endearing. Recently she prayed that Pinocchio could become a real boy. Gotta love that! But her evening prayers always contain a "thank you so much for Jesus". She loves to ride her bike and do anything that is outside. She is starting to take a little dance class in a few weeks, just something for fun. I am excited to see how she does. She loves her cousins and is so excited when we get to play with Lily or Maleia. This girl also loves to read. She has had an obsession with books from day one and it has never left.

Spencer = is such a sweetheart. He is growing so big and looking less babyish every day. He is ten months now and has 6 teeth! His hair is long enough now that is curls at the end. He is crawling all over and trying to walk. I foresee that coming very soon. He LOVES Hannah and is so happy when she takes notice of him. The last few weeks he has been struggling with an ear infection that has not wanted to leave. Poor boy.

Well, I think that is it. Sorry I have not put on pictures...I can't find my camera cord. Maybe next time...:)

Yahoo for 2010!

Alright, get ready for another pictureless blog session!

Goodbye 2009. It was a good year -- but I am all about moving forward. So Happy 2010 wishes to all our friends and family! I hope this year brings health, happiness, and growth to all of you!

Us Wall's are already excited for what this year will bring. First, we got a fun surprise of being able to do a cruise the end of January with Keven's parents. They are turning out to be our vacation pals and we couldn't ask for better! Second, things at Keven's work are going so well. Keven has worked very hard developing a new division at his company and it has been such a wonderful opportunity. We are SO grateful for this blessing and offer thanks for it each day. Third, Keven is graduating with his Associates Degree in May! Yahoo! And will then begin a bacholer's program in the Fall. What a blessing to be able to go to school! And finally, fun and exciting projects on the horizon. I am helping do a music CD for Brighton Girl's Camp. I love playing the guitar and am grateful for the excuse to play more often!

Welcome to some of our new friends! Baby Jenna Sorensen and Baby Jacob Holbrook! Super cute babies!
