Pioneer Day and Downtown Jonesborough

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately (now that we're not rushing to finish the basement). We went to a church activity for Pioneer day where they had tons of great food, performances, and swimming! For some reason I only took pictures of the swimming. Last Monday we took a family outing out to downtown Jonesborough to look at some of the shops and play at a small park we discovered a while back. Also I took some pictures last week while we were lounging around the house and Jeffrey had a stomach virus that wasn't very much fun. Enjoy looking at pictures that aren't just of our basement! -Shelly- p.s. I accidently lost our baby name poll when I changed the template again (doh!). I don't think I'll put it up again, the last time I checked Megan Kimberly was still ahead with Megan Sue not far behind and surprisingly Megan Samantha has been quite popular as well lately!

Ben swinging on a tire swing and loving it!

My boys on the tire swing (it was a hot day so Jeffrey's face that he's making is because the swing is hot)

Daddy and his boys on a tire swing at a tiny park we found.

Jeffrey enjoyed riding in the stroller as we were walking in downtown Jonesborough.

Mommy and Ben take a break from walking. Ben is loving his whistle pop.

Daddy crashed out with Jeffrey on the couch.

My handsome little man after church on Sunday.

Jeffrey had a 24 hour stomach virus that we didn't want to spread around church so he got to stay home with Mommy.

I could tell he was feeling better when he was giggling all around the house playing with all of Ben's toys. I finally found him crashed out laying on his brother's cool race car bed and just living it up. :)

We brought the car seats in side for a day and as you can see, the boys weren't very sad about it.

Daddy is worn out after throwing the boys around.

Before and After pictures!

Okay, so for everyone that wanted to see just exactly how much work had to be done to finish our basement I've decided to dig up the old pictures and show you some before and after shots. These will be the last pictures I post on our blog of the basement beings that the Wilhite's moved in on Saturday and I will not be taking anymore pictures of the basement which is their home now. :) We are officially DONE with this project and hopefully will be done with "projects" like this for a LONG time. Our next "smaller" project will be painting and re-decorating the boys' new room and baby Megan's future room....pictures to come whenever we get around it. Thanks for taking an interest in our crazy projects and lives! -Shelly-

The Poll

Okay, so I've had some requests (I'll let you guess who did the requesting) to have two more choices on our poll of names for the new baby. I apologize to everyone that already voted, you may vote again, I had to delete the poll and create a new one to modify it. There is no voters registration to vote on our blog, it is just on the honor system that everyone will vote only once (unless of course you're voting for Megan Sue!). Happy voting! -Shelly-
