Remodel Day 4

The 4th and 5th days of the remodel was really all Jeff. I went to Temecula for a couple of days to spend with my family, and when I came back, Jeff had pretty much put drywall on the entire kitchen. He has been working so hard lately, and I am so grateful for a husband that knows how to do this kind of stuff.




This is the laundry room/linen closet that Jeff framed out by himself. The laundry is in the garage right now, so it will be so nice to be able to do laundry in the house.

Remodel Day 3

The 3rd day of our project was pretty easy for us. Jeff's brother Jerry and his friend Jason came over to help us cut out a wall, and build a pony wall.


This is the wall that they cut out...it is looking from the living room to the kitchen.

Jerry and Jason built a little pony wall. When the kitchen is done, there will be a bar height eating area...this really opened up the front living and dining rooms.

Remodel Day 2

The next day we removed the drywall. This was fun for the first little bit, but after awhile it got very exhausting and boring. In the end, Jeff was the one who did the demo, and I cleaned up the mess that he made by taking all the junk to the backyard...we have a pretty nice collection back there now.

We also had the privilege of finding the remains of a rat in our wall. It was in between the drywall and the insulation...pretty nasty!

Remodel Day 1

The first day of our remodel project we spent hours tearing out the existing cabinets and countertops, as well as the ceiling. It was a lot of hard work.




As we were taking out the cabinets, we found dozens of egg sacs. I can't believe that I actually wanted to keep the existing cabinets...we would have been living with thousands of spiders!

Our Kitchen Remodel

We recently bought a new home...and we have started to remodel our kitchen/laundry room. Here are some pictures before we started the project. I will attempt to update the blog with our progress and hopefully we will soon have a nice kitchen.

Congratulations Mckenna!!!

This past weekend my little sister Mckenna had her graduation ceremony for Chaparral. We went out to dinner before and then watched her do "the walk" and receive her diploma. She will be leaving for Provo and going to BYU in the fall. We will all miss spending time with her. Congratulations Kenna!!

The Special Olympics!

My little sister Corrie had the opportunity to be in the Special Olympics. She swam in a race and got 3rd place for swimming the entire length of the pool. She was so excited to get a medal, and she swam so well. We are all so proud of her!!
