Mantle

These pictures are to show Tammy Dad's new mantle and bookcase. The picture I got at the University bookstore. I had a gift certificate for my 20th Anniversary and used part of it on this picture. I really like it in this location. :)

More Painting

These pictures are from Dad's office and computer room. I still need to put the vinyl lettering up, but it's coming along.

Wonder of Wonders

Dad just about has my upper cabinets done. He still needs to put the end panels on and put some molding trim around. We did find some cute knobs to put on the doors. They weren't on yet when dad took these pictures. Sorry about the mess on the counter tops. Dad didn't bother to cleanup before he started his project. Brad came into my office that day and told me Dad had started working on my cabinets. He said dad set the saw up on the counter and was blowing sawdust all over the place. Saturday it took me a couple of hours to clean up what was left of the mess. I guess that's a small price to pay for new cabinets. :) With everything I want changed in my base cabinets we will need to totally redesign and tear out the bottom cabinets. I DON'T LOOK FORWARD TO THE MESS!! Dad always gets that funny look on his face when I say,

"do you think we could". I'm sure he is thinking "not another request"! The cabinets are made out of knotty alder and have winchester stain on them.

Lexi's Birthday

Yesterday was Lexi's 2nd Birthday!! She was a very happy birthday girl. Lots of friends and family and lots of presents!! :0) She really liked her Dora cake. It tasted good too!

Busy Weekend

Last week was a busy one. Thursday evening I taught a First Aid class at the University, so I was late getting home. Friday evening our ward had a chapel meeting before our temple session.

We didn't get out of the temple until around 9:30 pm. We stopped for ice cream at Dairy Queen with 2 other couples and got home around 11 pm. Another late night. Saturday morning was Trey's baptism at 11 am in Rexburg. Bryce and Shauna have had conflicts the past two months when the stake baptism day rolled around so Trey's baptism is a little slow is coming. He turned 8 yrs. on September 17th. All went well! After the baptism they had a family lunch at their house. It was nice to see everyone. Bryce and Shauna only have one more to be baptised and Abby is in kindergarten this year.

Dad's new pickup

Yes, Dad finally got his pickup. He has needed one for atleast a year. His vehicle has not been

very dependable. This is a 2000 Chevy S10, automatic, 4 cyl, 2wheel drive, ext. cab with only

54,000 miles. Dad just wanted a bare bones truck, and it is a nice one. It should last us a long

time.

Visiting Candace and Beau

I went with Laura, Allen and their family to Utah the middle of October. Allen and Mitch and Beau and Candace had tickets to the BYU vs. UNLV football game. This was Allen and Mitch's first opportunity to attend a major college sporting event. They said it was "awesome"! They are thinking we should get season tickets next year. Laura, Alyssa and I got to play with the kids. We were met in the front yard with a St. Bernard. He was huge but loving. Landon's high pitched squeals sent him running back to his yard. The kids had fun swinging and sliding in the back yard. It was a very nice day to be outside. Candace had just finished painting the boy's room. It really turned out so cute.
