color, color on the wall


After 5 long months we have finished all the painting in the new house!!! I never realized how many walls we had until we began priming... then there's the first coat of color... then the ole second coat... and of course the very slow and tedious job of cutting in (which by the way we discovered we have several INCREDIBLE "cutting inners" in the fam! e.g. jessi and josh :) The rest of us are perfectly satisfied using our painting skills with large rollers and spacious walls:)

















The priming stage...







dad hangin another light :)
Finally some color:)



























i love this wall... the real name is Edwardian Burgandy but we like to call it the great wall of chocolate. :)
Johnny boy priming the ceiling... if that doesn't put a crick in your neck! haha

Once again I am amazed at my family's extreme diligence and accomplishments... GREAT JOB GUYS!!! I know all of this hard work will soon pay off!
So, we have begun to
pack away the cans upon cans of paint, the brushes, the rollers, the pans, the can openers, the stir sticks... and now...
FLOORS ARE COMING SOON!!
HOOORAY! :)

MaRch MadNeSS!!!!


Let me begin by saying that the month of March has been absolutely crazy for us Hunts!! I am continually amazed and provoked by my family's diligence, discipline and dedication! Let me give a well deserved shout out to the most amazing fam around, "YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!" In the midst of traveling to & fro, calculus tests, heated competitions, paying bills, cleaning our home, orchestra recitals, dance classes, basketball games, painting the new house, practicing piano, loads and loads of laundry, running a 1/2 marathon, making time for family and friends, performing for 6 schools in 3 days, washing the kitchen floor(good job Justin!:), exams...... and everything else that comes along with a big family(whew! what a mouthful!!), you guys have been so faithful to persevere, encourage and to have thankful hearts and attitudes!
(from what a camera can capture)Here's a look into our mad month:
