Camera sweep

As mentioned a while ago, the battery on my camera died and the charger was in a box amongst a plethora of other boxes. After getting all of our stuff moved out of the Erickson's garage and thrown haphazardly into our place, we uncovered the magic box with the magic charger. And so, here is whatever I had on the camera. Ranging from the first of June to last weekend in California.

Basement lava rock, be gone!

Scraped off popcorn ceilings upstairs- nasty wood paneling in bedroom #1
Basement bathroom wall knocked out and basement bathroom general ugliness.

Upstairs ceilings textured; basement walls sheet rock. New tub for basement bathroom awaiting installation.

We like to fish! David's first time out with his waders and float tube.



 Sooo, we were able to get all of our stuff into the house Saturday night, August 3rd. We found what we needed to pack for our family reunion in California. Flew out of Idaho Falls Sunday morning, the 4th. Missed Liv's blessing in Henderson just barely (dang plane traffic on the runway!), visited and played with various Robbins family Sunday/Monday. Drove to Cali with Chris and Shelly and kids Tuesday. Flew from L.A. to IF  Friday night, the 9th. Packed and left for work and camped at Henry's Lake Friday night. Right now we are finishing up the shift we traded with another team (Sat, Sun, Mon-today) and will be back up here in 3 days for our regular shift. When we get back to the house we will need to: paint the the basement, put the flooring and baseboards in, and get carpet installed. We'll see if we can get that done, oh and unpack and organize all of our stuff upstairs too, before coming back to work Thursday night. Woo wee! Are you tired after reading that? 'Cause we are tired. Before heading south for the airport last week, I ran through the house and took pictures in its very messy and unpacked state. It looked the exact same when we got back Friday night. Darn! Well, I guess that's good, because there weren't any break-ins or robberies. But I was really hoping some magic fairy stopped by to unpack and organize and decorate.

*All of the pictures are in a really low quality form right now- much easier and faster to upload so many at once to el blog-o. *
 Kitchen before and after. Hard to see, but the old cabinets are green! And where the fridge sits now is where the pantry used to be.

 shelves (that will be spruced up a bit) above laundry, living room entrance, hallway, bathroom, living room, bedroom

In Henderson, I had my camera out browsing through the photos, and Roslyn climbs up to me and says, "Pichar?? Cheese!" 

The L.A. temple is huge! And has the coolest visitor's center. You should go. :)

 Can we lift a truck? Yes, we can! Fulcrums and leverage.

Children. Spencer was always wanting to play with and love on Azalia. 

Annnd that's all for now, folks!
