Giving Mrs. Lynne & Mrs. Kelly there Thank you gifts for being our teachers. They were scrapbooks that all the kids made two pages to put in there. They were really special and the teachers loved them. I am glad we were able to do it for the teachers. They were great and we love them.

Elijah gettin a fish painted on his face. At first he asked for an airplane but that was not going well so he went to a fish.


The colors he wanted were orange and yellow so it was really good. Elijah only has one more day of school left and that will be Thursday.

Saturday 18th of May Chad & I were able to go to the all-star race and had a great time. Here are some of the photo's taken Enjoy!

For those of you who don't know this is Dale Jarrett he races the UPS car and this was his last race. And he drove the UPS truck around the track for all to see.

The car in the middle is Jr.'s (silver) I got a very cool camera lens for Mother's Day and it was a great time to try it out and see what it could do at the race.

New Floors in Dinning Room

Last Monday we started working on getting the dinning room ready to put down wood floors. So on Monday Chad pulled up base boards and then toke up the tack strips. On Tuesday he got the room ready to paint. On Thursday he painted another coat and is happy with how it looks know.
On Friday night Chad & I pulled up the carpet and the carpet pad. Which was glued to the floor it was a lot of fun getting it up be we finnal got it done. Chad final brought in the sander to get the rest up.

The boys had a lot of fun watching us and wanteing to help but we told them they had to stay behind a line and just watch and for the most part they did.

On Sunday after lunch we final got to start laying the floor. With Chad and I both working on it and doing our jobs it went really well. So far there has not been much problems. We got it all done except the last row with it getting close to 11pm last night we thought instead of making a mistake we would wait untill tonight to finnish the room and hopefully get the baseboard back on so that we can start getting that room back together.

We are hopeing to get a lot more done this week. So keep looking for more. We still have the Kitchen, living room & the hallway and bathroom.

Sunday Fun Night

For the last 16 weeks on Sunday nights Chad & I have been teaching Elijah's class. Last night was the last one untill Sept. so we had a fun night where they could play in the bounce house and then outside. We also had a special snack of rice crispy treats.
