Blue House "TLC" Weekend

What a complete shock for my weekend plans! 

 I was planning on trying on Bridesmaids Dresses and checking out Wedding Venues with Tay. When I got to Houston Thursday night Josh let me know he had taken vacation from work to re-roof, build a new porch, and clean around our childhood home. Even though most people would of passed on such a labor ridden weekend, I agreed to it. From Friday morning to Saturday night I joined Brochacho and plenty of Family and Friends to try and make the home we grew up in a little more suitable for Kyle Matthew aka #9.



I showed up early Friday morning to The Blue House, so I could ride with Brochacho to get material. I am pretty sure Josh's truck has never held so much wait. Thank the Lord he just got new tires!! What a load!!!


As soon as we got back with material Steph had to leave for a doctors appointment, so I got to spend time with Joel and Lily D when she left. 

Lily didn't know what to think about being left with Auntie.

I loved on her anyways. She loved being outside watching Joel and JD play.

Joel P telling me how much he loves his baby Sister.

Joe, Josh, and DJ removing shingles.

Moe showed up with Abby before she had to go to work. Moe was as shocked as I was to see the front porch gone and the naked roof.

Jordan had a blast wheeling Joel P around in the wheel barrel.

Jordan, Joel P, and Abby being crazy kids.

Gordan and DJ removing felt. Such hard workers.

The 2nd dumpster and Josh. Yes we had already filled a smaller dumpster up.

Even Kevin showed up for the festivities! Thanks for all the help K Wayne!

Joel P, Brycen, and Dalton <3

The end of the first night of work! Josh, Steph and DJ.


Bright and Early the next morning we were up ready for day two. Josh was sure no one was sleeping past 8. Chelette, Jaden, and Sweet Charleigh showed up early Saturday morning and helped more than they should of. Star is a Warrior for sure!!

Char-Fran and her awesome Pink Blue Jean Jacket!

Charleigh and Dalton playing in MJ. Who knew 2 kids could love a vehicle as much as these 2 did.

Charleigh playing Peek-a-Boo with JD, and Dalton ready to drive off.

Joel P, JD's, and Brycen's scrap wood architecture. This was Stars great idea to keep the kids entertained!! One of the best ideas EVER!

Josh and Jay Rod trying to build the porch back.

 Keith aka Papaeezy showed up later in the morning and went right to work helping Josh with the roof and porch. Keith and Josh did a great job on the porch!!


After the porch was framed and the rafters were put in place, we called it a night. Josh and Kevin went with me to Sebrinas house warming party and then to Los Arcos for a late dinner.

My sweet Sebrinas room.

Late night Mexican food.

Sunday morning Josh actually let us sleep past 8!  As soon as I got up by 10am Josh, Dj, and Danny were already on the roof laying felt! 

Josh joshing around! 

The last picture I got of the Blue House before I left for lunch and then my drive back to C.C.  Its really coming along nicely! Good Job Brochacho!

Me, Kevin, Dad, Josh and his crew, Steph and her gang, and Moe and her family all met up at Goodsons Cafe in Tomball before I headed home! Home of the Best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas!


Things don't always go how you plan, this weekend is a true testament to that, but if you just let things go with the flow and not try to fight too hard you can be amazed at what can be accomplished!
