Pumpkin Carving

We decided to carve pumpkins and here is Bryce working his magic.



Bryce was all done with his before any one else was even done getting all the guts out.
Here are Stephanie and Adam's pumpkins.
Here are Bryce and Lisa's pumpkins.
Outside on the porch.
All lit up. It was a bit hard to get a clear picture without using the flash.

Stadium of Fire

Have an itch?

Chip had asked Atreyu to help him with an itch.

Gutter Cleaning

Lisa decided it was time to clean out the gutters. Bryce and the dogs decided to watch from down below.
It was a bit hot for Atreyu after he had been running around.
Here is Lisa using a shovel to clean out the gutters.
Bryce bought Lisa a remote control gutter cleaner to speed up the process and it did a pretty good job!

Tree Branches

With the heavy snow that fell this morning, the tree branches were overly weighted down and limbs began to break.
Good thing it missed the house!


Here is the pile of smaller branches that also broke off.

Atreyu, Chip, and Wicket

Here are the dogs playing around.

Kitchen Floor

When we moved into the house 3 years ago or so, (Lisa is better with dates) we new we needed a new kitchen floor. We ripped out the old linoleum and then laid adhesive tiles. Over the years, they have started to pull up and Atreyu has been chewing on the corners.

We gutted out the kitchen in preparation for the new floor to be installed. Lisa did a swell job taking the base boards off that were barried down in the previous sub floor.

We also decided to do the entry way as well. So up came the wood floor by the door and the carpet got pulled back.

Underneath the sub floor, there was the original linoleum flooring for who knows how long ago.

Here is the final product!

and another shot...

and the entry way.

We will put the kitchen back together tomorrow and tak pics of the finish product.

St. George Visit

We visited the park near Russell and Danalee's house and Kyle and Karston showed us how much fun the slide is!



Here is Kyle going down the slide all by himself!



We had a very fun New Year's weekend in St. George visiting the parks, seeing Russell's house, playing with their kids, and playing games.
