Finished Bathroom

We got our bathroom as finished as it's going to be for a while. Here are some pics. We still need the glass surround for the shower, but that will have to wait until tax season... hopefully we get a return. It was quite the project! So glad it's done. And a special thanks to Mich and Ryan for all their help! We couldn't have done it without you!
Above is a picture of the hall leading to our bedroom. That picture is covering the circuit breaker boxes... Keith's great idea!
Standing next to the shower

Looking out the window, needs a window covering still. And that bookcase was put there temporarily until I can make something custom.... so it's pretty much permanent.

And, the shower! tile not only to the ceiling but on the ceiling. in this photo, the grout still needs to be washed.

Halloween Party 2009


We had a great time at our Halloween Party thanks to everyone that came! Love you all! Thanks to Grandma Chatwin we had Lizard Stew for lunch. It was enjoyed by all. Missy brought some dry ice and root beer for an eerie beverage. We had cake for Kyle's 16th birthday... Happy Birthday Kyle!!! The kids swung a bat at a pinata filled with candy, didn't get too far, Tony busted that thing wide open!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Playing Dress-Up With Bella

Bella trying on her Halloween costume. Doesn't she make a cute Tinkerbell?

After her bath, Dad helping her pose with her pig tails


Bella wants to know why I insist on dressing her in bows.

Pretty Girl Bella!

Bathroom demo and Drywall

Here is Ryan helping sand the drywall we put up. Sure wish it was ready to paint....
He really is a great helper. I appreciate having him around.

Keith tearing out the shower. Once he got this down, I couldn't stop him! ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN!!!

Here is our exposed toilet, and what used to be the shower taken through what used to be a wall....

A day in Denver

We had a great day in Denver, Did a little sight seeing, went to a baseball game, or part of one anyway. Then we took the kids to Dave and Busters for dinner. We hand a great time and it was fun to see Kaycee and Ethan!
We flew to Denver on a beautiful Saturday morning. We had tickets to a sold out Rockies game. This is the view from our seats, zoomed in as far as our camera can zoom. Yep, this is the view from the cheap seats! Rockies vs Cardinals. Rockies lost, Cardinals clinched their playoff berth tonight.

Me and Keith. I think Keith is calling his bookie....

Andrew, Keith, Ryan, Kaycee Mcmullin, boy toy.... oh, I mean Jess.


Andrew, Ryan and Ethan
Today the Rockies gave out free towels to their fans.

The view from our room. I think we are in Aurora, Colorado staying at the Hyatt, Denver Technology Center. Got a great deal on Hotwire. Love it when we can score great deals!

Bella's First Professional Grooming

Bella just got home from the groomers. Her first visit. Lindsay, her groomer, said she was very well behaved and great to work with. She needs to learn to be like that when I bathe her.

Bella cuddling up to Lexi... Tender!

Leia checking Bella out. "What is that funny thing in your hair?"

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?


Our bathroom needed some changes due to the leaking, gross shower... so we went to work. Oh boy! Did we get in over our heads or what?!
Above, is a curtain hanging where a door is supposed to be so that the bathroom can be used in semi-privacy.
Above, you are seeing a picture of Kieth, through what is supposed to be our wall.
