So much sorrow!

I guess i just need to put it down on paper, or something. Then maybe i will feel better. It seems like the minute that i have time to stop and think, i find myself heavy hearted and crying. It's just there has been so much tragedy and lose in this little community this past month. I just want the sun to come out and make all the heart ache go away. We have lost 4 men here in Royal, just in the past month. Some very close friends, some friends of my children and some just acquaintances, but never the less it has left families without fathers, Husbands, Dads, Brothers and friends. And it makes me want to just hug everyone and tell them that i love them, because we never know when they will be taken. We are all one BIG FAMILY...So to all my family and friends i want you to know you are important to me...and I LOVE YOU!!! So Bring out the Sun... :0)

Nothing Better ...except maybe

Well things have been quit chaotic around our house this past week or so. We had decided that after 19 years it was time to replace the carpeting in our home. I was so excited. There is nothing better than new carpet...except maybe a new baby. They both have the same features they are so CLEAN and SOFT, and they smell good :0) So here is the pictures of before, during, and after. As you can see There is a definite dirt line, where the furniture was. We decided to save a few bucks and tear up the old carpet ourselves. Craig and Angie helped. Thanks guys!

We also had a few squeaks in the floor so David decided to fix them before we put the new stuff down. I turned out to be a bigger project than we expected. I gave David a hard time about tearing the whole floor apart just for a few squeaks, but if you want a job done right just call David. I'm thankful that he is a perfectionist.

There are NO MORE SQUEAKS and we practically laid a new living room floor. J/K

We did have a little set back when i was pulling up the old carpet on the stairs. I tangled with the carpet tack strip and I LOST. i ended up having to go in and get 9 stitches in my finger. Which made it hard to move furniture.

Rudy Mendez and his partner Melly did an awesome job. They were really fun to work with and they were good sports in letting me post some pictures of them in action. If your ever need some carpet or any kind of flooring done i would gladly recommend them. They are listed under Mendez carpet installation. 509-488-0179.

Catching up!!!

It's been awhile so i thought i had better bring my blog up to date. This is Grandpa spending some quality reading time with Sam and Caden.

The weather has finally started to think it's Springtime. We were all getting cabin fever. Angie, Jack, Sam and Caden went for a walk. It was nice enough that Sam thought she could go without shoes.
