I love my family

Happy Birthday To Crystal on Sunday Nov 28

I will no longer have a teenager.

Wanted: A Professional Painter

Wanted: A Professional Painter

I just about have finished painting the upstairs inside front of the house.

I learned a couple of lessons.

1. Hire a pro to do it next time. (It about killed me off) considering I am working part time and had to fit painting in after work.

2. Be thankful for a Son in Law who so generously used his talents to repair the cracked ceilings and door ways. (Thanks Wally for giving up you weekend to fix and patch for me)

3. Always have your sisters help you hang the pictures. Because with all the differing opinions, tape measures and levels someone will be right.

4. Always buy the paint samples. If I would have painted what I originally had planned it would have been really ugly. It payed off the experiment with the actual cup full of paint (available at Home Depot).

I wish I had before and after pictures. But for those who are familiar with the house you will see the difference.

See if you can pick them out.

Some of the differences are.

1. Paint Color

2. New side light in the front door (no more Gold plexiglass)

3. No draperies.

4. Cupboards moved and painted in the Laundry Room.

Heidi hosted a party at her house. I forgot to take pictures. But here is a picture of the grandkids with Great Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Hardman.

Here are some more pictures of my cute grand kids.

Cole loved feeding the horses the corn.

Lets all take time to giggle like Avery.

Love to all of you.

Where did August GO

August has come and gone in a blink of an eye

It started with Crystal Burning her hand in a grease fire.

Thanks to all of the prayers in her behalf she has had a miraculous healing.

I know the pictures look bad but trust me it could look worse.

We will be painting the kitchen as soon as we find time.

The doctors in Albuquerque considers this healed.

She totally has new skin on her entire hand.

She will have a custom compression glove that she will wear for about 1 year.

We moved Crystal to Albuquerque and in all the excitement

We didn't take one picture.

She is so excited for the new experience.

We wish her luck.

"We're gonna miss you"

After we dropped Crystal off we went on a little vacation.

We came across Arizona and ended up in St George.

We went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

We went through Holbrook Arizona and thought we were right in the Cars movie.

We didn't know that the Wigwam motel wasn't original to Cars

We went to the Petrified Forest. I was amazed at the petrified trees there.

Route 66

In Albuquerque we rode the worlds longest Tram to Sandia Peak

We went to The Tuachan Theatre with some of my family

We saw Tarzan. It was wonderful.

Thanks John for your hospitality.

Chelsea and I made pickle relish and Serena was trying to

catch the drips from the grinder.

Westin and Clark made bouquets for their girl friends

Welcome home Emily.

She came home while we were on Vacation.

Earlier in the month Xander and Cole both came to stay and play

They are so cute together.

Serena loved the Ice Cream on the car ride to the Hardman Reunion.

Sorry we forgot to take pictures of the fun day too.

I hope September is filled with just as much fun

but not all the excitement.
