Ya know, I had great intentions of working in the basement and getting it finished before the family shows up. It ain't gonna happen. First I took a vacation to Canyonlands...I thought I could work around that. I got back and a project at work had me working weekends and nights and that's just finishing up. Then there's yer mom....I love that woman.......who has so many honeydo's that I'm staying quite busy with that. She bats her eyelashes and voilà! I find myself cutting down trees and hauling off limbs. Voilà! I find myself hauling dirt and helping her put in new grass. Voilà! and I'm helping her with her computer projects. What can I say. She feeds me good stuff and gives me back scratches......excellent trade. Anyway, with what is coming up, I won't have that room done, but the part that is done will be semi-usable. It will be done by Christmas. :-)

She just keeps batting those eyelashes. I need to do things like go de-winterize the trailer at the mountain, mow lawns, fix sprinklers, eat, bathe, sleep, complain...you know...silly things like that.

It doesn't matter-- we've been doing fine without it anyway thus far.

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
