Congratulations - Graduation

Congratulations to all the family members who completed another year of college.

Isaac - Jennylyn - Jared- Andrew - Emily - Crystal

And to Westin for starting back into school.

Emily finished Law School and is off to Washington DC for her next adventure.

Isaac finished Law School and is studying hard now to take the bar exam in July

Good Luck to him.

Jenny and the kids have been wonderful and supportive of Isaac. He couldn't have done it without them.

Moscow (that is Idaho) Vacation

We went to see Isaac and his family.

Jaqueline and Alexandra were in a real Ballet.

How fun that we got to see them dance.

We went to my brothers - Gale's over in central Washington. We toured his Dairy and saw milk come from the cow and go right to the factory for bottling to sell.

The kids had fun riding Sootie

We stayed over night at Moses Lake.

We played at a park in Moscow.

The kids had a riot feeding the ducks.

Thanks Isaac and Jenny for their Hospitality.

It was fun to play with the kids.

Water Water Trauma Drama

This is for a smile.

This is my new strawberry pot.

I can hardly wait to eat a fresh strawberry

These are for a frown

It is never good when water bubbles up out of your asphalt


Long story short the water main broke from the well to the house.

It was fun to watch them fix it.

It is nice to know people with big equipment.

What have we been up to?

Our kids gave us a couple of pairs of Jazz tickets for Christmas

To actually go to a game is so different than watching on TV

There is so much more going on than the game.

It was a fun date. - thanks Kids

It is ironic that the jumbo tron has Williams on it.
It was about the next game that they traded D-Will.

Andrew and Leisa gave us their left over tiles.

Andrew came and tiled the downstairs entry way.

It turned out to be a huge job.

Thanks - Andrew

Avery has been so sick.

She was in the hospital with RSV, pneumonia, and ear infections.

We are so glad she is doing better.

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.
