The two big windows you see are Jared's and Krista's bedrooms. The bath is the smaller window.


It's coming along. The hole was filled with a foundation, walls and framing.
I had no idea it took so many small details to build a home.
It has been fun watching the progress and changing things to fix what we
thought we would like. It's different to look at it on paper, Jeff did a
great job drawing it up; we had to make a few changes that weren't on the plan to
make it fit what we needed. Then there are the things we didn't catch that we wished
we would have before it was to late. None the less, It's been exciting to see what they do each day.


The view out my back windows is going to be great! The big window in the middle is the family room, The one on the left is where the kitchen table will be, and the one on the right is my bedroom.

There's a hole in the ground

There's a hole in the ground Dear Julie, Dear Julie, there's a hole in the ground Dear Julie a hole.



With what shall we fix it Dear Kirk, Dear Kirk, with what shall we fix it Dear Kirk with what.



With foundation Dear Julie, Dear Julie, with foundation Dear Julie, foundation that's what.

WOW! Time does fly

Since the last post, we have started school, Justin is a Soph., Jared is now in 7th grade, and Krista is in 3rd. Everyone is doing great with school.
We (Kirk and I) went on a cruise with our friends the Smith's. We had a blast and hated coming back to the cold.
Our family hosted the Phillips' family Thanksgiving. I was a nice dinner at the church.
We spent Christmas in St. George, we had a great time with family down there celebrating the birth of our Savior.
Jan. left us wondering if we were going to be able to the swing financing a new home. We had money on a lot, and had until the end of Jan. to get a loan. It was Jan. 27th that we closed on a construction loan. We now have 6 months to get something built.
Feb. took us to Phoenix to watch Justin play soccer. It was fun, warm and the team did very good. It was along ride home, to not very warm weather.

So it's been a while

You know sometimes life just gets to busy and I don't have time to sit and play on the computer. Then I forget how to even post. I should do better. There are days when I wonder where my days went.

So much has happened I don't even know where to start.

We (Kirk, Justin and I) had a wonderful time on Trek. We wouldn't trade those memories for anything. I would in courage anyone who gets the chance to go.

We also had the month of July, new puppies. Our dog Ginger had 5 puppies. One didn't make it through the night and another died after a long week of trying to nurse it back to health. But we had fun with the 3 puppies that did live. They are so cute and they were fun, but for me... I'm glad they all have new homes.

The kids all started school in Aug. Justin is a Soph. at Riverton, Jared is in 7th grade and Krista is in third. They are all doing very good.

Justin is still playing comp. soccer, and basketball and would love to put in a round or two of golf if he had time. He's playing now on 2 comp. teams which means soccer everyday and sometimes twice a day. He usually has 3 or 4 games a week.

Jared is doing his rock climbing and loving it. He's loving jr. high and all the girls.
Krista has had some excitement in her young life, just after her 9th birthday, she called from school with a tummy ache. It turned out to be appendicitis. She spent a day in the hospital and we were just about ready to leave when she threw up all over, so they sent us back to the room.
We went to both temple open houses, we're not in either on their boundries, although we do live closer to the Oquiah Mountain one. We love being able to see them from different spots in out home.

The boys both did a triathlon in Kamas. It was in Sept. Justin placed 2nd in his group which was 14 to 19. Jared took first in his age group which was the 10-13 year olds. They both did really good and had fun doing it. Krista says she's going to try it next time.

So, I think that sums up my life. We are always doing something, which makes it hard to get to the blog some days. I should do better. It's fun to read others blogs and see the happenings in their lives, I know they can't be any busier then I am and they seem to find the time to blog. I guess I should just find the time. So, until the next time. Have a good fall.
