BEFORE AND AFTER

New bathroom floor

Well this is the start fo the new flooring. Dad decided that he wanted to do this himself so he pulled the old carpet and used it as a pattern for the vinyl. He got it laid today but we still need to put the molding around the edge. The new carpet is supposed to be in in about a week. We are saving about $200 by pulling all the old carpet out of both bedrooms, and getting the foam and tack strips up. I hope it's worth it because that's a hard job. It'll be nice not to have carpet in that bathroom.

INDOOR GARDEN!

This is how dad passes the long winter days. He has his little plants on the kitchen table. It is too cold out in the greenhouse yet. I'm looking forward to them going outside!!!

Low ceiling or tall missionaries?

We had the missionaries for the dinner the other night and these two boys are tall. The one on the left is 6'3" and the other 6 ft. They had to duck to go into the dining room. They were gracious enough to let me take their pictures.

Grandpa Elf!

I thought this was pretty funny of grandpa Carey!

ICE!!!

Can you see this ice that is stuck to our front window? We have a major leaking UNDER the roofing that is leaking into our house also. We can't do anything until the snow is gone because we have a thick layer of ice, under the snow. It is very cold outside so it'll be a while.:0(

Families are forever

Not sure if you can see this very good but my friend does these vinyl wall printing things that I love. It is SO cheap. This Families are forever that I put above our family picture only cost $9.

Burnt Dinner!

We have been having fun with our web cam that the kids got us for Christmas. This IS just a joke!!!

New Car

Just wanted to show you this new car we got. I feel very spoiled.

LaMonte's service

I feel bad that I didn't take more pictures at LaMonte's funeral. Before anyone else arrived I snapped these three and that's it. The girl is Pam's daughter Sarah, then Karen, Aunt Jeanene's daughter, Aunt Jeanene and Wally. Too bad you can't see the pictures better on the table. There are some really nice ones.

Fun in Portland

I wanted to show a couple of pictures taken while in Portland. Julie and Sherri at the Saturday presentation. Then Julie exhibiting our mood for the weekend. Lastly, the beautiful picture of our family. Thank you so much. We feel so blessed!

It's Fall

The only thing I don't like about this time of year is....it leads into winter but the colors are starting to be so beautiful. I l0ove this big Burning Bush and that is why we planted a bunch of them along the road. I can't wait until they get big like this one. The bottled grape juice is only the beginning!

WHO'S RUNNING FOR VP???

SUMMER FAVORITE

This was a winner at Farmer's Market this summer. A lady came one day and we had individual baskets of different kinds of cherry tomatoes and she said " Do you mind if I mix them?" We thought it looked so pretty, we started selling them that way. There are cherry tomatoes, red pear, yellow pear, black pearl and chocolate cherry.

Beautiful kids.

Just had to add some pix of my kids!!

He's the smart one:0)

We do love our kids. This one is the smart one.

Huge!

We've been getting $2.00 a pound for our tomatoes and dad thinks someone is going to pay $5.00 for this at Farmer's Market. We'll see.

Some more fixn' up!

Do you remember the old shed in back and the piles of wood and the fence that was flaling down. This is the start of fixing that up. We plan on pouring cement and putting the picnic table over there.

Visit to Greg's

These are a couple of pictures that I took when went over to Greg's new house in Spokane. It is nice. The downstairs is not finished so he will have some work to do there but he can fix it the way he wants. So right now it is a two bedroom, one bath upstairs but it is plumbed downstairs for a bathroom. It is a corner lot. We had a good time. Short though.

Random Pix

Guess I'll just tell a little about each picture. The first one is the starting of my "mound". Julie gave me help in designing the shape and ideas of what to put on it. I am now waiting for there to be plants available to plant. This is just the lava rock and a few rocks and pansies.

The next picture is a geranium that we had out in the greenhouse all winter. It did so nicely.

The picture of the new cabinets will give you an idea of the wood but it is hard to tell what it is going to look like when it is finished.

Then some of the Valentine kids coloring Easter eggs. Last but not least....Seth and his chocolate mouth!
