Christmas

I don't have any great stories to tell...

But at least I have finally uptated the blog.

The Santa Dogs

Joanna playing with her present.

Here is Jo with her new haircut and new glasses.

I think she looks cute!

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.
