Spring/Summer Projects

It seems like we never stop doing projects. Mostly this is my fault I suppose. I happenend to mention one day how cool it would be if we added a stone patio off the deck for our grill and firepit, and wouldn't you know Dave was out there like the next day with an axe cutting out the lawn. He is very handy and loves to work outside! Perhaps I should have moved the laundry room outside. :) Here are some pics of his project and the house...

Memorial Day

My whole family got together for Memorial Day this year at my mom's house. My grandpa was there and it was a wonderful time of sharing testimonies, food and bean bag toss!

That same weekend we celebrated my grandpa's birthday...and took one bad family photo!

Noodle graduates

Party at the Taylor's house for Noodle's graduation.... A few words from Dave on the festive celebration: "the food was awesome, it was a lot of fun, best of luck to Noodle. And he pities the fool who picks a fight with her" I think there was something else he said about loving the tea party he had with Ben...Anyway, Mo had some fetish with everyone's feet that evening, so you will see all the latest in footwear displayed here.

Post-Op and Pasta

Okay, waaaaaay overdue for a blog update. Time for some more uplifting blog postings! Here are a few pictures of me after the sugery and you will notice Kona was by my side every minute. :) Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve drove down and cooked us a wonderful pasta dinner and left enough sauce for 3 months... Dave just finished it all last week! And, of course, enough cookies for the neighborhood! So very thoughtful and sweet. Jake and Katherine also brought us over food as well... thanks to all...
