God Bless America

For the Fourth of July we left the big city and went to a little farming town in southern Utah. As we watched the antique tractors, taxadermy trailors, and random people on atvs throwing candy to the people crowded along Delta's main street I realized how much I have missed the 4th in Delta. Its been 5 or 6 years for me. Later on that afternoon we watched the demolition derby and I find it hard to decribe in words the swelling of American pride in my heart. ha! I told a friend after the fact that I was pretty sure that the founding fathers had demolition derbies in mind when they framed the constitution. He corrected me by saying that it was WHY they framed the constitution. My niece, however, would disagree with us. When my mom asked her how she liked it she said, "It was horrible. I would never take my children to that!" She's eight. She cracks me up!

Carpet makes the world a better place

We finally finished the floor. Still no baseboards, but they are on the way.

Fire Place

Well, we finished the fireplace! The slate is still a little wet in some of the pictures from washing off the mortar, but you can get the idea. I have to say, for a couple of kids who don't really know what they are doing, it looks way better than what came in the house.

House Pictures

the slate pictured is going to go around the fireplace. I'll post pictures when its done, and when all of the flooring is in.

Fun days are Saturdays and Mondays

I love being married! We have been having all sorts of fun. Jen bought these awesome kites from costco a while back and we have been wanting to try them out for some time. Saturday was wonderfully windy. In fact it was almost too windy! The Dragon was awesome, but the little bi-plane is more of a breeze rider than a torrential wind flyer. The plane spent a lot time landing rather roughly. I learned an important lesson that day. One too many nose dives can break your propeller.

Mondays are fun days because those are the days that I have surgery. Or at least this Monday was. I got a gingival graft on the facial of my mandibular anteriors...I live with a dentist. She told me that. I don't know what it means, but I have pictures of it! Anybody want to see? Just kidding. I'm not going to post those. Long story short. My mouth hurts.
