Best In Show

Collin and Tim got best in Show at the Pinewood Derby. The pack meeting started with awards and Collin got his Bobcat Patch. Then they went on to the Pinewood Derby. Our car was #605 and it raced 7 times. It won 1st a couple of times and then 2nd for the rest. It was a fun time.

Kitchen

After Demolition.....

Ceiling up, we have not had a ceiling in 3 1/2 months. Yeah!
Now we are getting walls. Thanks Roy, Nathan and Johnathan for all of your help! Yes, Roy does have on boots, only because he came unexpected from work.

New Years Camping

I have been a little behind on the posts, due to us working on the house. We went camping in Lake Livingston. Tim's Sister Kelly and her family joined us and of course we had the rest of the OJT camping group. We have all become such good friends and our children really enjoy playing together. We are already starting to plan our trips for this year and it is looking like we are going to have another great camping year.

As the night went on the kids did little skits, we roasted marsh mellows, the kids did sparklers and then we had Champagne toasts.

Happy New Year

Let me start by saying Happy New year to everyone. We hope that everyone had a wonderful new year. We went camping over the new year and had a great time. I am behind on my posts, but here is an update to where we currently are. We now have a new roof, one item complete. The insurance company was only willing to pay for a patch, but after thinking about it for awhile and talking it through we decided to put on a new roof. Last week we did a complete demolition of our kitchen. Behind the walls was not as bad as it could have been. We had worried about what it might look like. The cabinets were mildewed, but that is no big deal because we are getting new ones. This weekend sheetrock was put up on our ceiling and all of the insulation was put in. We even did the blown in insulation in the attic. Next up is finishing sheet rocking the walls. We hope that those will be done by the end of this week. Right now we have moved our refrigerator into our living room and are going out to eat every night. Things are going along pretty smoothly so far.

I will keep everyone updated on our progress!
