My brave husband

Well, yesterday Troy went and rented a truck that had a lift so he could get up to our tall chimney to put a cap on it. It was just open to the house below, no chimney cap on it, and water poured into the house everytime it rained..which is ALOT! So..it was nice enough to get up there and close it up with some sheet metal and silicone to seal it up. Sis was loving the "Ride", as Troy took her ALL the way up with him! It was very brave of me to let her go..what a girl! Thank goodness no injuries...only a small scratch on Troy's cheek from the flying squirrel that came out of the roof and scratched troy, and "flew" all the way to the ground and ran off. This was actually on the other side of the house on the other chimney..it was hilarious!!! Wish we had the camera to send to funnies home videos.

Happy Easter

Well, once again...it was too cold this year to have our "outside" Egg hunt. So...we had our hunt inside..weeee. The kids still had fun..and it makes us happy to see our "big" girls still participating in the fun. Saturday we had a very cold, but sunny day..so we just hid the eggs and had a blast. They then got their Easter Baskets from the Easter Bunny. Yum!! We got to end the Easter weekend on Sunday with Troy speaking in sacrament meeting on the Atonement. What a treat it was, even if the other speakers only left him 30 seconds to speak:) What a nice weekend we got to enjoy as a family.

Latest Construction

Sorry its been so long....Well, here we are on our next project of the"money pit", aka..our home. We decided to remove the french doors in the dining room, since you could sit down to dinner and look out the glass doors to...all of our junk! So, we took them our and walled in the hole. Here are some pics of the project. We still havent finished it completely, and will put up the final pic when we do...Great job Troy..you are so good at fixing our home up!
