Project Continued!

I wanted to put more pictures up of the girls' room. David wanted me to wait until it was done, but how much fun is that? So I am really excited with how it's turning out! David is working hard. He really loves to be doing this stuff. He wishes he could trim out our whole house. I'm just glad that the kids are able to sleep through the saw, air compressor and nail gun noise in the room next to them!(There is a shelf that juts out a bit on this wall, that's why the height difference is there. There is only a shelf along that wall. The trim on top hasn't been added yet on the shorter bead board.)
(David tore down the trim around the door and along the floor and replaced it with new, wider trim. The closet never did have trim and so he put some on that also!)
(The window wasn't trimmed out either and so that also got done. The bottom is the unique design by David.)
(This is the shelf still in the making.)

Good job guys, its looking nice. Tell david when he gets doen with that he can trim our whole house. Yea it has almost been a yr since it has been done, but now we are busy putting our yard in so it looks like it will have to wait until this fall/winter. We were just so excited to be able to live in it and now it has been put on the back burner. Jake's not real excited to do it because of all the angles (he hates that part).

Fun stuff! Scott is a handy man guru. He tore down our shed one day and built a new one by himself. He replaced all the cabinets in our house and all the base board so I totally feel ya about wanting to be done. It's funny seeing you put Grandma and Grandpa Lee. I'll always know Chuck as coach. LOL! Have a great day!

that looks so great I can't wait to see the finishd project. What does David do in line of work-does he do carpentry?? With your family I wouldn't be surprised. I think it's cool that he enjoys doing it though.

David actually works at Granite Mill working over the productions. He really learned all of this stuff though when he owned his cabinet business when we were at BYU. He has always enjoyed this stuff!

Thats gonna look awesome! Ah I can't wait for a house to do things like that! But that will have to wait a few years. Did you tell Brother Jorgenson that were going to BYU-I? I bet that would be a shocker for him! Hahaha!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
