Tyler's House Update

The dome in the living room.
This is looking at the kitchen about a month ago.
Another picture taken tonight. Their oven isn't in yet either :)
Here's the front stair posts Tyler's been working on.
These are the stair posts in the dining room.

The Saga continues---one step closer

The oven's wired now!

We're Making Progress

Tyler and dad hauled in the new oven today so dad could get his car back in the garage. Now it's in the kitchen----sort of :)

Oven-less

It's been a week since the oven died. It was going to cost $540 to fix and that wasn't going to happen. So, dad bought a new double wall oven that's been in the back of the truck in the garage for about 5 days now. Dad and Tyler haven't had time to install it yet---they've been too busy with Tyler's house. Melece and I have just about fixed everything we know that doesn't use an oven. I finally got out the old toaster oven this morning to use for tonight's dinner :)

Weekend Visit

Last weekend I had all 7 grandkids here at the same time! Here's grandma holding Livi :)
Josh and Sam were having fun playing together.
Jacob loves to sneek behind the entertainment cabinet and peek through the back opening. Notice the piano bench in front of the DVD player to keep little fingers from playing with the buttons :)
Char holding Livi :)
The boys favorite game----the computer :) We had to set the timer to take turns to keep everyone happy.

Jacob's Birthday and other stuff :)

This is a Roman shade I'm working on for Tyler and Melece's new house. I had to make a place to iron them out flat by covering 2 cardboard cutting boards with canvas.
The valance isn't on this one yet.
I came home from work today to find my bedroom door "heart attacked" by Josh (with a little help from his mom :)
Here's the birthday boy! Grandpa saved the day by bringing home this cake from the bakery. My oven died yesterday, so Melece couldn't bake anything today.
It was a goood cake!
Opening presents :)
Jacob liked my camera the best :)
