Tearing Out the Floor

After we closed on the house the first thing we did was prime the entire house and rip out the flooring. The Strands came over along with our families to help. While the girls painted the walls and Joseph the ceilings, the rest of the guys pulled the flooring up. Thanks all so much for your help!

Painting pictures next....

Trip to AZ

This year it was a little cooler then normal, but it was a lot more humid. So it felt hotter then ever. Here are a few pics of the trip.

New Mexico. I don't think I've ever seen the fields so green.

Showing off my proper posture while driving. :)

Nothing too exciting happened at the conference other then the Fire Marshall shutting the Vendor Hall down for a half hour as vendors had to remove extra stock and empty boxes.

Tomorrow we'll try to post some pictures of working on the house.

Random Post

Well, I dumped pictures off my phone last night, as we thought we should really update this blog. So here are some random pictures from the past months.
This Fork tipped on one of the jobs I was on with NCI. They had to cut down a couple of trees (with a sawzall) in order to get it out.

A our church says "Come as you are" LOL! (Jonathan was headed to a concert, Aaron back to Farriers School for the week)

I don't remember taking this picture, it was our wedding morning, but don't you think they look related???

The above pictures might show why my family thought we were expecting on the Washington trip in April. :)


Stay tuned, will be posting more pictures...

Happy Birthday Abbey!
