Suggestions?

My blog will not let me upload any more pictures. It says I have used all my space. I didn't know I had a limit. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do? I don't really want to go back and delete pictures (if that's even an option) because I go back and look at them on occasion. And I don't want to pay the monthly fee. Do you just make another blog and link them together? Or do I delete enough to get just the final weeks pictures of my house on here and call my blogging experience complete and finished?
 
I'd love your help and suggestions. Thanks.

Week 19 and 20

Week 19 and 20
October 15-27

During week 19, they put up the siding and week 20 they put up the rock.


They ran out of siding, but it should be up soon.

They've been prepping and painting during these last two weeks and are still painting today.

Fixed our missing two pieces of tile.

More pictures of the trim work and paint

They used an oil base paint. It looks very sharp and is supposed to be easy to clean. :)

Put rock up around the fire place. There will still be a mantle that goes on top of the rocks.

Our painted front door.

In Honor of Quinton

HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUINTON!

Saturday was my little brother, Quinton's birthday. He is serving a mission in Russia but I decided to make a cake in honor of him. His very favorite kind of cake is the Confetti cake! I had my dad pick up the cake mix and frosting. However, you can't buy his favorite brand at our local grocery store (only Wal-Mart) and Dad doesn't go to Wal-Mart! So he bought another brand that was okay, but not quite as good as the real confetti cake! (I think it's the frosting that makes it oh so yummy!) But sorry, Quinton, it wasn't the real stuff! We'll be sure to have the real kind when you get home!

In this brand, the frosting is just white frosting with confetti sprinkles you put on top. Celeste and Elsie put the sprinkles on.

Celeste, Elsie (giving Quinton a thumbs up), and Kendra posing by the cake

And Caleb wanted his picture taken too!

Then we all had some yummy cake and ice cream in honor of Quinton! Hope you had a great day Q! We love you and are so proud of you!
