8 is Great - Tanner Turns 8!!!

Tanner has actually survived to turn 8 years old. He celebrated his birthday by having Grandma and Grandpa Livingstone come over to enjoy a tasty roast beast dinner with all the fixings. To top the evening off we enjoyed Tanner's favorite - brownies and ice cream.

As you can see, Tanner always enjoys getting presents from both sets of his loving grandparents, but warns everyone not to fall for the playdoh trick that Grandma Livingstone pulled on him. Tanner has

been good to share his treats with his Dad (who probably would have eaten them anyway!!!)

Tanners favorite present was the box he received from his Grandma and Grandpa Henwood (not really, but he had lots of fun with it.) Tanner will be getting baptized on Saturday, October 7th. He is excited to be getting baptized, even though he tries hard to pretend that he is not. He is also excited that Grandma Henwood gets to fly in from Portland for his baptism. His parents

survived his interview with the Bishop with only a few war wounds - for some reason Tanner forgot everything he has ever learned about the church and the Bishop had to drag every answer out of him. Tanner is such a good kid and we really love him and we are excited that he is getting baptized next week.
P.S. We grouted the kitchen counter and backsplash and sealed it yesterday - we may actually have working sink by next week.

Remodeling Update!!!


As you can see in the picture above, we have made a lot of progress on the Kitchen. Patti is working on tiling the backsplash and then the floor. The Kitchen is so nice and open now that we have removed the peninsula and the dropped ceilings and have installed the new cabinets. We are getting closer to the finish line and can hardly wait to get it done.

We Are Under Construction!!!

















Hello Everyone!!!

As you can see our site, as well as our home, is currently under construction. We have actually installed all of the new cabinets, put in the new appliances, and removed all of the oak flooring. Patti is getting ready to start to put slate on the countertops, walls and floors. We will post some more updated photos soon.



Patti has also managed to remodel the main floor bathroom in her spare time - I don't know how she does it all!!! The bathroom looks great and we will have to post an updated picture of the bathroom soon. The kids have been enjoying having the bathroom so they don't have to run all the way upstairs to "go".
