Guess Where We Went Yesterday?

This guy looked fantastic yesterday on the ice!!!

This guy looked equally bad!!

Thursday Mom called me at work with another one of her "off the wall" ideas. She had been talking to one of the other teachers who was taking her kids to the Disney On Ice Show at the Spokane Coliseum and decided that we should go. I did my usual "support the idea" and said I had other things to do on Saturday. Well, as you might guess, we ended up taking Seth, Lacey, and family and went to the show. We arrived early, stood in line with all the parents and kids (including little girls in Princess dresses), got in, found that we had excellent seats, and thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was a typical Disney production. They didn't miss a thing. Actually I was quite impressed and it was fun watching Weston and Koper who were totally enthralled with it all. They did sketches from Cars, Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Tinkerbell, complete with flying fairies and Tinkerbell.
The cars from Cars were real cars and drove around on the ice and did a few "brodies". There was a little red car that Mickey and Minnie Mouse drove, Tow Mader, Lightening McQueen, a 59 Chevy and a highly modified "57ish" Chevy. They were real cars and were spotless. Afterwards we stopped by the Spokane Distribution center to buy some "unmentionables" and came home.

This morning it started snowing about 4:00 am and has snowed off and on all day. It is still snowing but is really wet and heavy. Mom and Seth are over shoveling Grandpa's drive way. I don't know why they didn't invite me.

Mom and I both have to work 2 1/2 days this week and then it is Thanksgiving. We are going up to Post Falls to pick up Kimbre Wednesday afternoon and bring her down for a visit and dinner. We will take her back up on Thursday and then go shopping or whatever. Matt has to work so he will just be home alone for the holiday.

Enjoy Thanksgiving and the snow if you have it.

remodel #1

Since we moved in to the little white house in Orem, our life has been filled with wallpaper, plaster, spackle, dust, (and more dust), popcorn ceilings and paint. We've basically been living in squalor. But the end is in sight! For now, at least.

Here's our dining room before:

And after:


Pictures of the study and living room are soon to come!
