Summer Fun

OK OK --I know it's about time I updated our blog. We've been pretty busy.
Before the Crook Reunion we did a little remodeling before the kids all got here.
Then a trip to Seattle for Stevies baptism. We had the best every clam chowder at Ivers, a big boat ride around the harbor and a trip to the Seattle Aquarium.
It's been a long long long summer-glad to be home for a while.
Cute little faces at the aquarium. Even grandpa and mom Alisha!!
On our way out of the Aquarium-Stevie touched a live star fish and some other strange looking fish, saw fish of every color under the rainbow and every size, along with a couple of friendly scuba divers.
Averly and Grandpa Bill.
Proud grandparents with even prouder Stevie.

This is our new bathroom--just a little different from the last picture.



New bedroom furniture with new paint and blinds along with new lights and outlets.

Traci's brother in law Greg built us a hand rail for our living room, with new carpet and Bill and his friends refinish the old hardwood floors. The Hardys and the Noorlanders did all the tear apart, moving furniture and junk along with the painting and patching of walls and ceilings. They are the best kids ever.
Bill did alot of other stuff with Greg's help. He's awesome to help Bill so much. We'll be blogging a little more I guess--Traci's been after me. Imagine that-maybe she takes after Aunt Merodene??????

Bathroom Redo


Alot of you have had " household upgrades" in the works. Well we have an old house and one of our bathrooms finally gave up. Bill has torn it all apart, to so you won't fall through the floor. That would be quite the experience!!!!! And it would probably be me!!!!!

These are a few pictures of the progress. Plumbers are coming on Tuesday to move the toliet and sink plumbing around for more room. A little electrical work. Then Bill and Clint will put some 'tounge in groove pine', on the walls. Some tile on the floor. And we'll have a new bathroom. Wahooooo!!!

Don't worry Nelson kids- it will be done by Christmas time!!!

Happy Before Thanksgiving Visit

The week before Thanksgiving Mark & Linsey and the kids came for a visit.
We love our Grandkids!!!! Sunday after church having fun with grandpa!!!







Who taught Grandpa Bill how to dress???? Trent or Nolin??

COMFORT is the name of the game-espically after the church suit and tie. A little treat (popcorn) and the kids makes a perfect day.





Saturday bath time.

Catch UP

OK!!! So I can't remember how to blog. It's taken me forever to get this right. And I'm still not sure I've got it right. Becky, where are you when I need you? Home asleep I hope-it's one oclock in the morning.

Sorry---I tried to post the pictures from Micah's baptism just before this, but didn't get my comments to let you know about them. Oh well, we had a great time with all the kids that week-end. We got to be part of his baptism and dinner out with everyone. Micah's quite a handsome 8 year old. We're very proud of his decision to be baptized. OK, it was a few months ago-June 22, 2008 just to let you know. I promise to be a little more CURRENT in my blogging from now on.

I've got these pictures mixed up a little bit but just scroll around.
We watched Ashtynn while Traci & Clint were gone for a week. I bought this big plastic-rubbery bag to put all the baby toys in. As you can see Ashtynn crawled inside & had a great time.

Flowers from a wedding cake I made.
Ashtynn wants the camera--imagine that.


Ashtynn loves to pull everything out of the diaper bag--so I teased her a little bit. She just giggled. I just was not fast enought with the camera to catch the laugh.

This is part of a wedding cake I made in the heat of August for a good friends son who got married--Nice to know I still have the touch. It was quite pretty.

I love this picture of Emeline, Grandpa Gun's and me. That smile is awesome Emeline!!! It was at Micah's baptism in June. Of course I think we have the cutest grandkids. We miss being with them and can't wait until Christmas. Wahoo!!!!!!!
