On the house- Erik's parents helped us finish a room, a
bathroom (almost finished), tile, and paint. We also recarpeted. Phew! We did a
lot of work on the yard too but have NOTHING to show for it. Just a lot of
time and money to make it, well, exactly the same. We are open for
suggestions - actually just come do it for us, we've had a lot of
suggestions. Thinking of ripping it all out and replacing it with rocks like
they do in Arizona.
Every summer Fasha (Steve's infamous nickname) comes to work on the family cabin up Provo canyon. That's how we got him to work on our basement too over the summer. He is always a party, especially when he brings these huge pumpkins, er ... grapefruit from their tree. (Julia still thinks they were "yucky pumpkins").
And this is a little out of order, but Graham also came
after Nathan was born and for Erik's birthday. While she was here we worked on
a little project of our own. We textured/sanded/painted/got carpeted one of the
basement rooms as a surprise birthday present for Erik. He was using the noisy
toy room (so-named only because it's where we have thrown all the toys) as an
office.
Here she is reading with the big kindergarten reader Alli.
. . . here! His new home for the next 8 months.
And I can't end without a little blurb about this lovely place here. I've always thought it was so attractive driving down the freeway, just like so many other sights from the I-15. We now live minutes away and so it was one of the first things Allison and Julia noticed. They soon learned of all the fun that awaited them on the other side of this amazing structure (please tell me you sense my sarcasm).
Trafalga, where the fun never ends. Or, as Julia calls it, "The 4 heads".
