She's a BRICKED house!

Inside the Great Room. Back of the house.



Just another quick update on the house. The brick work is finished, and the sheet rocking is almost done. I have ordered my cabinets. Next they will texture the walls and stain the floors, then trim work. It looks like we are getting closer and closer to moving in time. I can't wait!





Tres also caught 3 catfish tonight. He was so proud of himself. Mom only got 1 bite......a mosquito bite... :>)

Spring 2008



Just a quick update on the Cotter family. I don't have any new pictures of the house...sorry. My camera has disappeared again. Luckily, Nana is always there with her camera ready to go. The fireplace is done, and they will start brick work and sheet rock this week...Yeah!!!! We have had a wonderful month. We are glad to get out doors again. Tres will be starting baseball again this spring, that will keep us busy 4 nights a week. He also did a great job of narrating 3 Billy Goats Gruff for his 1st grade class play. Karis had a wonderful birthday weekend. Saturday night she got to go on stage in Canton, and her Aunt sang her Happy Birthday. She of course said all day she was going to get up on stage and sing too, but mom knew better. She was crying as soon as we left our seats. Then on Sunday, we had our family Easter gathering and everyone sang to her again. We went to Galveston for Spring Break, it was so fun and the weather was perfect! We still miss the beaches of South Carolina though! Karson is apparently very allergic to something and has spent the last week in hives and with both eyes red and swollen. He has also graduated to the big boy bed, and is almost potty trained. He is not my baby anymore. Well, that's all I can think of....Karis did get her hair cut too. See ya next month!!

Busy Bee's





We have all been busy bee's this month. The new house is going up so fast, plus they just finished remodling the house we are currently living in. Karson had his 2nd birthday. Karis continues to love gymnastics. Tres finished basketball and was baptized. I went to San Francisco, leading a Special Needs Mom's group, picking out plumbing fixtures and lighting...plus housekeeping and cooking. Kirby is busy being Cub Scout Leader and meeting with the contractor and workers on a daily basis, plus clean up duty to save some $$$, and cooking too. We have also had some very ill family and friends, we have been visiting. This month has even slowed down a little from last month. We are all doing well, noone has gotten sick.....except Tres....ear infection. The Dr said one of the worse he has ever seen. Poor child, I made him suffer for 4 days before finally taking him to the Dr. Let me tell ya, I felt like Mother of the Year....NOT!


Enough about us here are some pictures of the house. Keep in touch!


Next month....Spring Break at the beach, Karis's 4th birhtday, Easter and.....more pictures of the house.


Love Ya! Juli
