Our Construction Is Over.

We have been talking about remodeling our livingroom for awhile. There was a leak in the upstairs bathroom at some point that when who ever fixed it did a poor job of patching it, and we were tired of no light in the livingroom. So Dad, Kendrick and Dalyn moved everything but the piano and coach (which got tarped) out then down came the celling. (lots of dust)



and up went a new one with a place for a light. While the new one was going up we chose the paint and Kendrick couldn't wait to paint, but mud had to go up first. Brad did a wonderful job of putting it up then, Kendrick and Dad sanded (more dust)



Then we got to paint Kendrick did the primer and Mom and Dad finished. (no more dust)


We picked out a celling fan with light and put it up the night after we finished painting it looked so nice, then on to the carpet. Our carpet was stained and yucky so we chose new carpet and got it orderded, Dad and Kendrick ripped up the old and was suprised to find that the hardwood floors were still in good condition, but Mom and Dad like carpet better. Kendrick loved playing on the floors while everything was out of the room. Then the carpet came it's so nice and in the words of Kendrick's favorite charicter Curious George it is toe squish good.


Kendrick and Erin both love it.




So here is the finished product.




Mom is excited for the holidays so she can decorate the new room.

October!


Holidays are here again!


We all had fun the end of August at the Garrett Family camp out. Kendrick had fun playing in the trees and down by the river. It was nice to get away for the weekend and enjoy being with the family.



In August we also went to our county fair Kendrick loved the petting zoo and a BIG BULL fell in love with Doug.





September has come and gone and we had some surprise visitors Dalyn came home from boot camp and is waiting to go to jump school sometime in October. And Grandpa and Grandma Hume came for a visit. We also we also went out to a Balloon Festival Labor Day weekend, It was too windy for the balloons but they played with the balloon burners. That was fun to watch and Kendrick even got to pull the cord to light the burner with Dad.



Kendrick is looking forward to Halloween and the Holidays. Mom bought him a pair of Skeleton PJ's that he loves, Erin got a cute Halloween outfit too. So Mom had to take pictures




We have started a project and in the next few weeks we will post the finished product should be very nice so stay tuned.
