Let the Roofing Begin!

While the rest of the world are watching the Olympics, we are having an olympic marathon of our own! With family members running up and down the ladder, crowbars and hammers in hand. The sun beating down and sweat pouring off everyone hoping that the roofing will be done.
These pictures do no justice. The hard work and many hours have been trying for everyone, but the kids came to our rescue, helping us take off two layers of shingles and replace wood as well as put down particle boards, starting over has been overwhelming but everyone pitched in with out complaining. Now we are ready to start shingling. Yeah!

We Love Having Our Family Visit

We are so excited to have a new queen size bed in our guest room. So will all of our visitors! The bed was given to us by Nat and Jay, they bought a new king and they were nice enough to give us their queen. So our little California kids and our St. George, Arizona and Texas families will have a much nicer bed to sleep on. We're still working on the shower, but promise it will be done maybe after we get the roof on. It's been a very busy summer, with working on a shed under the old deck and wanting to build a new deck off the kitchen, but for now we need a new roof. The Deck may have to wait, we'll see.

Another Year Older

August 9th, John celebrated his birthday by going to guard, helping Brandt and Shannon with windows and sprinkling systems and going to bed. But we made up for it on Sunday the 10th. We had dinner and a birthday cake. Happy B Day! We really do appreciate you and love you lots!

"Space Sisters"

So John and I went to Byron Putnams wedding reception, Wednesday night. It was great! We loved visiting with family. Vince, Jean and Gloria came up from St. George for the evening. The funny thing was Jean, Gloria and I were wearing black and white, Jean and I had on black and white polka-dotted skirts and Gloria had on a floral/polka-dotted blouse. Honest, we didn't call each other up and plan it out. Probably no one else even noticed, but I did. Vince calls us the "space sisters." Vince, we may be ditsy but we are well coordinated. I do remember one time when I went to St. George, it was for some church thing on Sunday. Jean and I had on the exact same dress. This was when I was very heavy and I made Jean go change because I didn't want people to notice the fat lady next to the skinny lady in the same dress. Do you remember that Jean?.......Oh wait a minute we need to get Jean blogging.....somebody help her out!
