DSC_0431This boy loves to dance! We have this Pandora radio on the back stairs landing and it is Finn’s favorite thing to go turn up the volume and then just start dancing (deece – as he calls it). DSC_0429 DSC_0457DSC_0465He is also getting very good at pointing out all of the parts of his head – hair, eyes, mouth, teeth, and as you’ll see below, ears and nose (lol).  We’re working on the tapping of the nose rather than inserting the finger 🙂DSC_0452DSC_0447This week we watched Kevin play at his weekly softball game. There were a ton of other young kids there too and Finn liked exploring so many new toys. Finn loves to crawl all around the bed in his room when it’s time to put on his pj’s. He just says “nu nu” (for naked baby) and dive bombs the pillows.  It’s pretty cute. And he absolutely loves to help clean the wood floors (good thing, I’m thinking!). DSC_0404 DSC_0405IMG_20140724_212629515 IMG_20140724_212805337DSC_0410 DSC_0408Wednesday I took the day off for a play date at the Powell Sprinkler Park, however, the weather didn’t quite cooperate as it was raining all morning. Instead, we headed to Magic Mountain indoor play area near Polaris and had fun meeting up with friends and watching Finn enjoy the new atmosphere.  He absolutely loves balls, so he was in heaven when we arrived to a floor full of them. IMG_20140723_101201981 IMG_20140723_114216642 IMG_20140723_104636900

We’ve had a successful week of picking out granite for the counters as well as hardware for the cabinets and drawers. We visited a granite supplier we heard about when visiting the Parade of Homes.  Good thing Kevin didn’t listen to me when I uttered on our way there “why can’t we just go where we’ve already been and narrow our choices down from what we already like?”.  Ha! Then we would have missed the yearly “Parade of Homes Sale” which turned out to be really good timing. Juparana Cathedral (in the top two photos with the kitchen cabinet face) is what we picked for the kitchen and island countertops. It has a lot of brown that picks up the brown in the cabinet. The third photo, is what we picked for the first floor bathroom, Santa Silvia.  Actually looking at them here they look alot alike, but in person they don’t seem quite so similar. The cabinet installers were here on Friday to begin putting the cabinets together and they will begin hanging them on Monday.  The dark cabinet in the pictures is the vanity for the bathroom. And the flooring is nearing the end with only a portion of the dining room, front foyer, and office remaining. IMG_20140725_142238437 IMG_20140725_143209796 IMG_20140725_144453870_HDRDSC_0422 DSC_0423 DSC_0424 DSC_0425 DSC_0426And here are a few other shots from the week: Finn riding in his car seat (the second photo he is making his purposeful, eye squinting face that I find hilarious), one from the Lady Antebellum concert Friday night at the State Fair, a birthday gift from Kevin, and one of Cameron enjoying her porch residence where she spends most of her time on construction days!DSC_0421 DSC_0417 _20140725_214549 DSC_0469
