More Painting

We painted the office. It was quick and painless. It went from a dark green to a sage.
I think it looks pretty good.


Allan walked in the door from work and decided to have lunch and paint at the same time

I thought I took a before picture, but I guess not?

So I just have the after...

Dirty Dog

Need I say more?

Remodeling the Kitchen

Joanna thought it would be fun to remove the kitchen wallpaper while Al & Ali were in Vegas...

I said YES!! GOOD TIMES!!!

I googled a place to rent a wallpaper steamer and couldn't find one, but Lowe's had one to buy for $50. I showed it to Joanna and said we could pick it up Friday after work or something.

If the project were up to me, that is probably as far as it would have gone. But Joanna grabbed a corner of the wallpaper and ripped of a big chunk.

I thought to myself "I can fix that with a little glue and nobody will notice. " Then she grabbed some more and keep on going... To much for me to glue back so I joined in the fun.






The top layer was easy to peal off, and the steamer took the glue paper off with out much effort.

We didn't want to have all the fun, so we waited for Al & Ali to do the painting.

We also changed out all the gold knobs. I think it looks mucho bettero.

Now all that I think is left to do in there is put in a granite counter top and I think the plan also includes a tile back splash.

Bryan VS Gigi

We were throwing the frisbee in the water for the dogs. Bryan wondered if the dogs would follow him in if he jumped in with the frisbee in his hands. We said yes and that they scratch... well he jumped in, they were right behind him and landed on his head. So Bryan got a booboo.
Bryan - 0
Dogs - 1

Landon in SC

Joanne and Kendall came to pick up a boat so I guess this is a good time as any to take some pictures and do some kind of update on the blog. Here are a few pictures we took this morning.

Teaching Belle a New Trick

We always make our dogs wait until we tell them they are allowed to eat. We make them sit while we pour the food into their bowls. Then we say "Okay, you can eat!" and they gobble it up. They can't WAIT for us to say those words. They drool a lot on the floor while they wait. So we made Belle do the same thing while she has been staying at our house. She is pretty good at it now. So we got some shots of the whole process.
