FINISHED AT LAST!!!!!

Laundry/sewing/scrapbooking and spare room. I can't wait to play!
McKelle's Room
Family Room
Another angle of the family room.
Storage room. Yeah!
So this was quite the project! I still get an upset stomach when I see the pictures of us painting. It was a lot of work and we were trying to be so fast so it was pretty stressful at times but as you can see it was well worth it. It's so big and cozy compared to what we were used to . We look forward to the family coming home for Brandon's wedding and being able to be altogether in the family room!

One busy girl!

McKelle had her own "March Madness". In the month of March, McKelle had Junior Prom, National Cheerleading Competition in California (she took 2nd!!), and then Cheer Tryouts (she made it!)immediately after, not to mention school and work, all while trying to survive the mess and chaos of our basement remodel project. Here are some pictures of the fun events:

OUR CRUISE

Donny and I just got back from a cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozemel. It was soo soo good to get away from the snow and cold. We of course had a blast. We were able to snorkel in Grand Cayman and we also went to Sting Ray City and held a sting ray. It was kind of wild but fun. Cami and her family went to Cancun so they took the ferry over to see us in Cozemel. We met at paradise beach and played for the afternoon!Good to get home to family but we miss the sun and warm weather.

Finish basement and REMODEL!

The time finally came for us to FINALLY finish our basement and remodel it a little to fit our needs better. We needed to have our family room bigger so that we could all fit when all the kids and grandkids came for a visit. WE are excited and hope we can survive. We did a lot of prep work before the crew came in for demolition. Donny and I are exhausted this weekend!It did feel good to get rid of alot of crap. I think I learned how to just throw it out and probably will still get rid of alot more. Anyone who knows me knows that that is a huge accomplishment for me. Everything is getting changed except for the bathroom and we will be putting tile on that floor.The remodel will include a bigger family room, McKelle a new bedroom, a storage room and access to more storage under stairs, a little area for toys and games etc., and a room for laundry, crafts, scrapbooking, sewing, and spare room all in one. I'm trying to get ideas for how to put that all together. Let me know if you have any ideas. Wish us luck!

Grandkids and Kids!

Fall Time Family Fun

We've have had a fun month. We went to St. George for the weekend to visit Mandy and Cam and Kim was able to come up from California to see us too. Then they came up here and we met at Jason and Claudia's during lunch for a visit with everyone. You have to take advantage of these times even if it is only for a couple of hours. We got to babysit Taggart and Maddie while Mandy and Cam went to a funeral. We played at Great Grammy Faye's for a while and then Taggart was finally able to come to Papi's house to jump high. He has been saying this since he came to our house in July. The kids were so good for us. Yesterday we met Jason and Claudia at the pumpkin patch in Logan to let Ada pick out a punkin and take some cute pictures of course. She looked so cute with her piggy tails. Our life does revolve around our family. We have a good time together.

MORE GAME TIME FUN!
