Our Projects!

We have been finally getting some projects done around the house. We really don't like the brick on our fireplace (or house for that matter), but did not want the painted brick look so we thought we would try and stain it to keep a natural look. We finished it on Friday night. It went better than I thought, and now I think we will do the rest of the house. Tyler is going to make a new mantle and crown molding for the fireplace which I think will complete the look.
























































Then on Saturday morning we started putting new siding on our house. We just got one area above the garage done, but we got it up and all painted. We are trying to just work on one section at a time and complete it before moving on to the next. It looks so much better. I like the fresh new look of it. The only thing we did not finish is the painting the trim, I haven't decided on a color yet. So we only have to use all our spare time for the rest of the summer and we'll have it done!!

It's always fun when Grandpa and Grandma Come!

Tyler's parents just made a trip out to see us. They could only stay 4 days but it was so nice to spend time with them. Friday morning when Layton woke up and saw Grandpa, he immediatley found his bat and handed Grandpa the ball. He was ready to play. Syndey loved painting nails with Grandma and watching Grandma put her make up on do here hair. We went swimming on base and met Tyler for lunch. He had his blues on that day, he usually wears his camo to work and so I had to take a picture, I think he looks so good in his blues. On Saturday Tyler and his Dad had to check out the local gun shop and took the boys with them and us girls went to the mall. Grandma was so nice and let Syndey pick out a new outfit for school. Of course she picked out a Hanna Montana shirt. On Sunday we just took it easy played a few games and went for a walk. Monday the kids swam in the yard while Grandma and I watched,Tyler and Grandpa were investigating Tyler's latest project of putting new siding up on the house, then we went bowling, and took his Dad in to tak a look at his eyes. Tyler's parents also watched the kids a couple mornings so we could go running together, which was so nice! It was so much fun to have them here with us and can't wait to see them and all our family again!
