NEW CARPET!!!

So Lex and I are constantly dreaming about what we can do to fix up our little town house and carpet has been pretty close to the top of the list. We have looked quite a bit and tossed around the idea of going over our budget but just didn't feel right about it. Well we finally found carpet in our budget and we love it! It took quite a bit of work to get it here but it was well worth it. Here are some pictures of what it took to get it in.

This is our living room. Everything from upstairs was moved down and put here. The reason for the poor quality of the picture is because it was taken with the ipod since the camera was lost somewhere in this mess.

This is my amazing sister Sammy. Pretty much without her we wouldn't have been able to do it. (if you look on the floor right in front of Sam you can see how much dirt there was)

These are the worker women. Lex painted this whole room and did an awesome job while Sam and I ripped up the staples and baseboards.

 

That pizza along with bread-sticks (not presented in this photo) were inhaled in about ten minutes since no one had bothered to think about breakfast We ate it right on top of all the dirt that we hadn't swept up yet.(And yes I guaran-freaking-tee that underneath your carpet is just as bad!)

Chloe was in heaven as she climbed in and out and all around the old carpet; not to mention the pepperoni she got to eat from the pizza.

The stairs proved to be the biggest pain. The padding that you see there not only had to be ripped out but about 200 staples in each step had to be pulled up as well. It took FOREVER!

Thank goodness for AWESOME family!

 Chloe-bear thought that pulling all the drawers out of the dresser was great because it gave her a phenomenal place to sleep.

 

This is just for the before and after shot effect of the same corner. Not bad if i do say so myself.

Obsession

So Lex and I love animals.Here is some proof...

We stop in Scipio to see a baby zebra which is our halfway pit stop to st george even though it's only about an hour into the four hour trip

We have random pictures of these baby birds

We cuddled with this puppy when we were in Jamaica even though it had probably never been bathed and had fleas(Gross i know!!!)

We loved and put up with Moe who would scratch and paw at you until you would pet her and as soon as you started petting her she would scratch and bite you so you would stop (I'm sure she is much happier in kitty paradise with our Heavenly Father)

 

Because we not only do we love these two dogs, that my parents have, but we let them sleep with us on the couch when we go to visit

Because this face was kept in our little townhouse for 7 months and during that time he destroyed countless items including but not limited to a dishwasher, a couch, a couple pairs of shoes, a coffe table, an entire bag of the cheap fruit loops, a weeks worth of doggie pain meds(which I then had to make him puke up) and many other well beloved items.

This is another of the great reasons why you can see that our infatuation with animals borderlines on obsession. Not only does he think the tent is all his but he believes that out bed, our laps, and our cars are there solely for the purpose of his delight.

To complete the obsession we had to have our very own animals that lived at our house so we are now the proud owners of a cat named Chloe and a beagle named Bailey. 

They are awesome and we love them tons. I'm sure you will be seeing lots more of them throughout my random posts because they are and will be an integral part of our lives. While else do we have obsessions right?
