Is it really spring?

This was taken a few weeks ago. I wanted everyone to see that Dusty's hill was nearly gone and we actually had a nice warm day. It was around 60 degrees. We melted a lot of snow.


These two photos were taken this morning. We had a blizzard of horizontal snow. We were in Rexburg by the temple and it was very windy up there. It is currently 37 degrees so most of the snow is melted. Clark county didn't have school today. We were jealous. It is currently at the end of the third quarter with only 9 more weeks of school!

Here are the twins!

Here is Braxton's better half known as his twin by his mother. (He loves to do whatever Braxton does and idolizes him.) They get into a lot of mischief together. Here is Adam eating Braxton's favorite meal-sausage. Brax and Grandpa went to the grocery store to buy all of Braxon't favorites. Including were his apple juice, chips and crackers.


We always thought that Matt and Cole looked alike...well they do. They also have the same hair that sticks up without a great deal of hair gel. The guys went to play basketball at Dusty's Dad's house. Sid and Matt were especially sore today. Holly, Jess and I went shopping. I had to return my light fixture in the bathroom. It was so perfect except that I couldn't open the doors to the medicine cabinet. I had to buy a very plain one since I didn't have a lot of options. No, it still isn't finished yet. The countertop is finally on, but the tile work isn't finished yet or the plumbing. I guess that we didn't make the March 1st deadline. We took the boys to Mall Cop. It was a perfect movie for them and they loved it.

Trip to Utah

Braxton woke up bright and early Saturday morning as I was going outside to jog. He was looking for his Grandpa. He ran downstairs and discovered that Sid was in the shower. He couldn't believe it and waitied patiently in front of the bathroom door. Perhaps, not patiently as he pounded on the door. As you can see, he was glad to finally see him.











We took a trip to the DeMille's home to visit with the family. Matt and Jess and Keith met us also. Keith is moving to Dallas, Texas next weekend. His office in Salt Lake is closing so he and 10 other coworkers are transfering to the Dallas office. He is apprehensive about the move and will try to find a place to rent. Since it isn't the most ideal time to try to sell his house, Mata and her twin sister and brother-in-law will stay in Orem until he feels like his job is secure. We will miss having him in Utah and hope that it all works out for the best. He does feel grateful that he has a job.

Update on Remodel
















Sid and I have a bet that the bathroom probably won't be completed before the month is over. We made the bet the first part of the month. It is looking like it might not occur. However this week proved more promising. The window was installed so he could finish with the tile installation and sheet rocking. Then he had to grout the floor and the tub. The vanity arrived on Friday and the toilet. However the there a lot of little things left to do and that is what worries me. Sid tried to do the painting, but we had to hire Diane Jackson to come and clean it up. All and all it looks really great.

A Visit to the DeMilles

Cute Adam
Grandpa and the boys getting ready for church.

It's hard to get them to sit still long enough for a picture. This is as good as it gets.



Bathroom Remodeling

These photos are backwards. This is the new tub installed.
This is the demolition of the old tub.

Bathroom completed gutted out.


It's hard to believe that we are doing some home maintenance. The girls convinced Sid that we needed to fix the bathroom. Wade Parker is doing the work and it has been a slow process. He completely gutted the room down to the studs. You can see how the process is going.

Friends


Old People Playing the Wii-Rock Band.

Here are the guys. You can imagine how much they didn't want to pose for this picture.
David, Sid, Clyde, Gary, Dennis and Lou.


Judy, Teri, Patsy, Eileen, Chris and Tauna are at Patsy Crapo's for January's dinner club. Nikki is missing because Kevin's sister passed away that day.
