Remodel fest!

We've been in the remodel mode for a few weeks now. Thus the lag in the blogging and such. Lester and Dave have been coming up and staying the night a few days a week. We're hoping to be done in 2-3 more weeks. It's like a battle zone but it will be well worth it. Basically new kitchen and living room. Took a few pics of late before (but most of you remember the wall between the kitchen and living room, which is now gone). We'll put a few more pics as things progress. In unrelated news, Molly spoke in church today and did a great job. Also had a dusting of snow this morning but not enough to cancel church. We need at least an inch for schools and church to cancel! ha

A few Christmas pics, flood 2009 and another b-day

Here's a few more pics from our awesome snowy Christmas:





So we had a ton of snow which melted off due to rain and warmer weather, yet the rain forgot to stop.....so here's our backyard this morning:




Pretty much all the local rivers here are past flood stage with lots of landslides. Was hoping to do some steelhead fishing but hard to find fish in chocolate milk rivers. On a sad note, it was another b-day for me....37 are you kidding me. I guess I feel younger except on days after hitting the weights hard or running. Hope you all have a great new year with lots of resolutions...hahaha I'll take the Beavs to the Rose Bowl with a win in Autzen this year!!! yea right.....
