Anyone Seen My Little Dog?

Last seen out in the front yard.  She is a sweet little sad dog who hasn’t had much attention lately because of our 2 little children.  I hope she hasn’t done anything crazy.

Wonderful night!

Thank you Gamma and Aunt Jen/Uncle Chad for watching our kids so we could go out for the night.

Here is a cute picture from when we arrived to pick up the kids in the morning.

Finished!

After a long hard fought bout with the evils of a leaky roof above our guest bathroom we have finally finished fixing and painting the room.

The mood is set, destiny is upon us.  I think I will go lounge in my new Zen water closet.  See you later.

Texture

Well the ceiling has been textured as promised. Time to do some
painting. Note: I took the toilet tank off to avoid having a gap in
the paint.

Things you’ve missed part 7

Leaky roof madness!

Yeah our roof leaks.  Turns out home ownership teaches you all kinds of life skills you never really wanted to learn.  Like “how to fix a leaky roof”, or “how

to replace walls and ceilings after you have had a leaky roof”.  This weekend is project weekend so here we go!

This got even worse and was managing to be the source of much mold and sneezing as well.

Day at the park!

It was so warm on Thursday that we hit the park and had a wonderful little picnic sponsored by Sonic and some fun running around chasing kites and playing on the equipment.

Things you’ve missed part CINCO – The Older Sister edition

P1060363

Amazingly enough I   have an older sister.  She was adopted at birth (my mom and dad were 16/17 at the time) and my parents ended getting married later and having 2 more kiddos (myself and younger sister). 

We finally got a chance to meet her (Liz) and her super cool husband (Don) and my awesome niece (Sophie). 

The story is long but the end is happy.  We are so happy to have you in our life!

Oh yeah, I’ve been slacking!  But don’t worry I will make it up to you with a flurry of pictures.

Jessi and I retreat to Mexico for some R&R and the boys spend the week at Dad and Nancy’s in St. Louis
