With the temperature above freezing and with all the snow we received last week it made for perfect building material. The neighborhood kids all worked on the snow fort in our front yard (see above). I made sure the kids did not attach it to the house because I didn't want to get assessed for added square footage.<br /><br />We also played street hockey and slid down the man made hill our neighbor is making from the snow. Last year he was the neighborhood hero for all the kids. He had made a nice hill in his front yard and the kids spent hours sledding and snowboarding down. This year he moved it to the side of his house and it is already a hit with the kids.<br /><br />Today reminded me of why we added on instead of moving.zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-56140408648553238302010-03-06T16:11:00.004-06:002010-11-29T22:26:59.190-06:00Time to Lose the KitchenThe time arrived to clear out the kitchen so it could be taken apart. All the plates, glasses, utensils, pots, pans, cans, boxes and everything else had to be boxed up and stored away. Below is pictures of the Tupperware and plastic ware being sorted to find covers and put away.

Back in early October our next door neighbors moved to the other part of the state and their daughter was Jaden's best friend. This weekend she was going to stay with us while her mom went to help a friend of hers. We did not tell the kids that Claudia was going to stay with us and the look on their faces when she walked in the door was priceless, I wish I would have had a camera. It was great to see Claudia and her mom, they are missed.<br /><br />Friday night Janelle had her Christmas piano recital for her students at a nearby church. This would be Jaden's first recital. Both Megan and Jaden, and all the kids, performed well. The best moment was when Jaden got done playing, he stood up and looked at his teacher (& mom) from across the room with the look of "how did I do?"<br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Jaden and Megan play after the recital</div><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJLb-lPAI/AAAAAAAAArk/7AWvbxzUOXg/s1600-h/100_5364.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419670031168781314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJLb-lPAI/AAAAAAAAArk/7AWvbxzUOXg/s320/100_5364.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Jaden plays "Go Tell It On The Mountain"<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJLLqyeoI/AAAAAAAAArc/IGr6XWIYS1c/s1600-h/100_5361.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419670026790795906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJLLqyeoI/AAAAAAAAArc/IGr6XWIYS1c/s320/100_5361.JPG" border="0" /></a> Megan plays "The First Noel"<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJKoro73I/AAAAAAAAArU/wsh8J0JZHf4/s1600-h/100_5359_edited-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419670017399123826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SzaJKoro73I/AAAAAAAAArU/wsh8J0JZHf4/s320/100_5359_edited-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-88120975892996714552009-12-13T15:52:00.000-06:002009-12-26T16:06:14.671-06:00Christmas ProgramsMegan and Jaden all decked out for their Holiday Program at school.

Over the years the bricks have been slowly leaning forward falling away from the house. We decided as long as we were siding the house it was a good time to remove the bricks. We didn't want to do it too soon before they started the siding because we would then leave the house exposed to the elements. We asked the builders to give me a little notice so I could get it done so as not to slow up their progress. As it turns out the notice they gave me was a busy week and weekend so all I had was Saturday morning until Saturday 3 pm to remove them, about 7 hours. With a small jack hammer and the help of Janelle's dad we accomplished it at 3 pm. The front of the house was a mess with bricks laying everywhere because we didn't have time to organize, we just did demolition.

It was much different than other years because of the construction. We did not want to put up a lot of stuff that would have to be moved around so we put up significantly less then in years past.

Today they cut the hole in our current laundry room. As you can see they did a nice job of containing the dust and cleaning up. Our builder did come and put plywood over the whole until the new addition is enclosed.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SwIUVtuhinI/AAAAAAAAAmc/9eyPCpRiO9M/s1600/100_5214.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404904866082556530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SwIUVtuhinI/AAAAAAAAAmc/9eyPCpRiO9M/s320/100_5214.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SwIUVFh3fyI/AAAAAAAAAmM/11mBlpI2pSg/s1600/100_5210.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404904855292051234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/SwIUVFh3fyI/AAAAAAAAAmM/11mBlpI2pSg/s320/100_5210.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-16106199874584044552009-11-01T21:06:00.000-06:002009-11-16T21:17:00.575-06:00Future EmploymentWith all the big equipment we thought we would let Jaden and Megan try them out.

The house was dark and I was a little graugee. As I took the final down step I felt something under my foot. I was shocked that I had stepped on a toy since I thought things were all picked up the night before. I turned on the light only to find Jordan asleep on the bottom of the stairs.

Megan has been rotating between both defense and forward all season and has been real close to scoring but just could not find the back of the net on any of her shots. She has hit the pole on several occasions but longed to get that one goal. Through out today's game she had some opportunities but came real close on another shot that hit the goal post. After the shot she fell back in disbelief of another near miss. With the game tied and time running out Megan got a shot from the top of the goal box and scored the game winner. The smile was larger than the goal itself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/Svo0-7SYEzI/AAAAAAAAAks/svgXmtRQrOA/s1600-h/100_5163.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402688958655632178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/Svo0-7SYEzI/AAAAAAAAAks/svgXmtRQrOA/s320/100_5163.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> Uncle Curt gives Austen the best seat in the house.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-56964337997519517492009-10-17T21:46:00.000-05:002009-11-10T23:36:45.363-06:00And the Wall Came Tumbling DownPart of the project is to fix a problem wall that we have in the basement. The wall is starting to bulge in the middle so we are going to put in steel braces (studs) to stop it. This weekends project was to rip out the existing wall to the studs. My brother Curt was gracious enough to help me along with both of our kids (the wives were on a scrap booking weekend).<br /><br /><div align="center">Here Megan helps ripe out some sheet rock.</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395250730892528434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St_H9FkECzI/AAAAAAAAAkM/FIpss3bgw7U/s320/100_5128_edited-1.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">We allowed the kids to do what they are never suppose to do: write on the wall.

They were suppose to have the walls done and everything cleaned up on Friday but the rain delayed them. Monday morning they came out and determined it was too muddy to continue. It has rained Tue and Wed so we are at a stand still with the outside work. As you can see we now have a large mud pit.<br /><br />Any one up for some wrestling?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St_Ga1j1w3I/AAAAAAAAAkE/3LD2pNHjeHE/s1600-h/100_5120.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395249042969445234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St_Ga1j1w3I/AAAAAAAAAkE/3LD2pNHjeHE/s320/100_5120.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St_Gau7e4HI/AAAAAAAAAj8/FOASyUOOt70/s1600-h/100_5118.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395249041189560434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St_Gau7e4HI/AAAAAAAAAj8/FOASyUOOt70/s320/100_5118.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-16438941249944555872009-10-14T21:59:00.001-05:002009-10-20T22:07:00.830-05:00Forms Go UpSince I am not a construction guy I am not sure of the right terminology but I think the wall forms went up.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St55cPmPe_I/AAAAAAAAAj0/eXtZ_NUxOD8/s1600-h/100_5117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394882929766661106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St55cPmPe_I/AAAAAAAAAj0/eXtZ_NUxOD8/s320/100_5117.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St55bu1VZKI/AAAAAAAAAjs/UjQLUyOy_AM/s1600-h/100_5116.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394882920971592866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/St55bu1VZKI/AAAAAAAAAjs/UjQLUyOy_AM/s320/100_5116.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680634843824248621.post-59586054826386000142009-10-14T21:18:00.005-05:002009-10-14T21:24:29.238-05:00Cement TimeIt was time to bring in the cement.As you can see by the picture below Jordan and Austen's Jeep is always available if the workers need it.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/StaG-2HT65I/AAAAAAAAAjU/AoReMTgCB3E/s1600-h/100_5105.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392646018058939282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/StaG-2HT65I/AAAAAAAAAjU/AoReMTgCB3E/s320/100_5105.JPG" border="0" /></a> Its amazing how they can get it into the back yard.<br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392646025020777938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/StaG_QDJJdI/AAAAAAAAAjc/VTrCSg3JyUY/s320/100_5107.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392646031371257954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PivZVH6kcAY/StaG_ntNyGI/AAAAAAAAAjk/-6rmnQyqgM8/s320/100_5114.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>zmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05889853261727191127noreply@blogger.com1
