Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!!!

WE are OFF in two days!!!!

I don't know who is more excited... me or shay.... I have so many things planned while we are down in CA. I'm sure that Eddie and Kendall will be glad to see us come home.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!! Eat well and be safe if traveling.... To my family that I will not be spending time with, we will be thinking of you..... We love you all.....

What a month!!!!! OR is it TWO??!!!

Britney was baptized on Nov.1. We are so proud of her!!!! She had a big choice to make to be baptized and she made the right choice.

Britney and proud dad!

Happy Family after the baptism!!!

Two weeks later Courtney and Shane and Ethan were sealed in the temple!!! What a day that was to see this great event... That is such a great moment for a parent to witness. Of course I forgot my camera.... Look at Skyler's blog for the great pictures.

Later that same day we really got into our remodel... What a mess!! Thom and I worked on the taking down the fireplace and the brick that was up. I think the longer it sits the harder it is to get off... We both took turns with a power chisel. It still took us 7 hours to get the brick and cement that the brick was stuck too... I don't think it was ever meant to come down.

Finally it's done!!!! Then next time you see this spot, you won't recognize it.

The stair well is closed in 3/4 of the way down. We had to leave a space at the bottom so we can get furniture and other things down there.

Here is a picture of it in the family room.

Our water heater framed in with it's own closet... We have room for more water storage!!!

This is how the new addition looks. We added about 3 feet to the smaller wall.

We also had the lights put in the ceiling down the hallway.... What a concept of lights in the ceiling.... I'm sure when this house was built it was to code...But every one who comes and looks at it shakes their heads in despair!
