A Bit of This and a Bit of That

So, just typed a long summary of our goings-on, tried to copy and paste it, and it won't paste. Don't know why, but be warned if you try, it might not work!

Guess, I'll try to sum it up for you:
Tyson is home from Dutch Harbor. Been home for almost a month. Will start work at the Fab Shop in town (where they prebuild modules to ship up to the North Slope) next week and will be working 6 12's. Not much time off work, but he will be home every night. Pros and cons no matter what we do!

Began home improvement project entailing ripping out the corner fireplace in the living room. Then building an entertainment center/book shelf to take its place. Not done yet. Going slowly. Lots of dust and such that have aggravated Tyson's lungs. I think everyone else is affected too, because we have lots of congestion and funny sounding voices!

Going to take out the carpet of the living areas upstairs and put in laminate flooring, but they were out- so we have to wait until the end of the month to get it.

Tyson's parents get here on Wednesday for Joyce's blessing this weekend. We do not baptize our babies, we give them a special blessing, then get baptized at age 8.

Keith and Rachel were involved in a running club after school for about a month and then ran in a jamboree. Thomas enjoyed going to running club also.

More pics later on our remodel.

The before. After the tv was taken off the wall, but before any real work was done.
Thomas ready to work and help daddy!

Rachel at running club. That cute girl strolling in the red and navy is her. They were supposed to walk to the first cone, then jog, then sprint and then walk back to the beginning. This is her walking to the beginning.

Keith getting his sticker saying he did a lap.

Thomas running with all the big kids.

Joyce and my grandmother, Joyce Larson.

My pretty girls.

Silly Keith.

See how much Thomas loves Joyce? He calls her his baby. "my baby" "my Joyce" and has gotten in the habbit with the rest of us. "Can I have some water please my daddy?" Doesn't he look huge when next to her?
