BUGS





Last week we took the boys down to the river to do a little fishing. Right now the salmon flies are hatching and they are everywhere. It is pretty amazing because people from all over the world come here for the salmon hatch. I guess the fly fishing is world class when the salmon flies are on. Here are some fun pictures of the boys and the bugs.

GET WELL SOON

Last Saturday Brian received a call from his Aunt Marianne saying that his grandpa Politano had just had a small stroke. He was having a hard time with the news because he thinks so much of his grandpa Malcolm. We don't get to see much of him, but we think of him everyday. He is a business owner just like Brian. They have many of the same qualities regarding business and life. I truly wish that we lived closer so that all of us could enjoy being with grandpa. Carson and Kelton say prayers for him at night. Cooper even does a little goo goo for him during the prayer along with a little tooter. Cooper was named after Grandpa Politano. Grandpa, we hope you are feeling better.....and we will see you soon! We love you and think about you often.

HOLY CRAP!

Today was such a beautiful morning. I got my stroller ready for my morning run...I mean torturous jont, and loaded Cooper up. We were ready to roll. Stepping out the door I found to my surprise serious bird turds. They were everywhere! My car looked like it had been used for World War 4 "birdie target practice." Is there a bird war going on somewhere that I am not aware of?

Thank goodness for children. I have coerced them into a snow shack in exchange for a car cleaning. Hee, Hee, they don't know they will be scrubbing for hours to remove all of the bird crap that was gifted to us last night.

I just returned from the big city of St. Anthony. I am still battling the building permit. I think we are on the right track now, and should be good to go the middle of next week. We are so close to moving into our new home. PLEASE come and visit me. I am worried I will be spending so much time talking to trees, rocks, and mammals that I will forget how to speak English.

Big garage sale this weekend. If any of you are interested in purchasing JUNK for your home, just stop by and I will sell you something for .25 cents. Why oh why do I do this to myself. Brian says I have to make enough to buy a new t.v. Well, I might make enough to buy the antenna for the t.v.

HARD WORK


Brian is hard at work in Ashton today. The clock is ticking and it is time to whined things down and finish up. Easy for me to say, since I have been no help to him what so ever. Every time I would go up to help our little Cooper would need his pants changed, want to be held, or want to eat. That process would repeat every hour....so no work would get done with me there. So I can honestly say Brian has done 110% of the work himself. I am so proud of his hard work. I want him to be DONE with it so he can enjoy the summer months. We were suppose to lay the floor tomorrow, but the company who ordered it apparently lost our order.....they are looking for it as we speak. I got to go to my buddies house (Jennica) today and have lunch with her and our kids. We had a fun talk and I got to see all of her awesome new home decor. It sure looks nice! I also was able to stop by and visit another friend of mine (Sarah). She was in our ward for years and was a great influence on our family. They have recently moved and they are enjoying their new home.

It has been a busy day today. One thing I was happy to hear was Tyler's condition. It was a stroke after all. No sign of tumors, cancer, M.S., or any other life threatening illness. That made me happy to hear that. They are still trying to decide why he had a stroke at the young age of 26.

BATHROOM PROGRESS



Brian has officially finished the beautiful bathroom. He was thrilled when he called me on the phone to say that he finally was done with the bathroom. You have to see it.....it is like visiting a 5 star hotel. I was so impressed with his work. I said he should do it for a living, and his response was "Hell no!" Here are a few pics of the shower. These pictures don't do it justice. You will just have to come and see for yourself.

Chocolate Chip Happiness

Another day has come and gone and there is always something to write about, but yesterday was a fun day to remember. As most of you know the whole neighborhood has sold their homes and they are all getting ready to move out. Kelton and I felt like baking a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies to take to the neighbors with thank you cards. As the cookies were baking and the smell of chocolate was in the air I couldn't help but think of our new home. We will miss it here, but we are greatful for where we are headed. We visited our old bishop down the road, our new next door neighbor, and even people walking by got to try Kelton's delicious cookies. Our favorite visit was across the street to a college kid who we heard was injured in a motorcycle accident at the sand dunes and broke his back. We did not know who he was,but thought he might enjoy some yummy cookies. As Kelton and I crossed the street and approached the door he gently knocked. "Come in" said a silent voice. We said we were there to see a kid named Clay, but we were not sure who he was. As he tried to lift his head up off of the couch he began to smile. "I am Clay." "We heard you were injured and thought these cookies might make you feel a little better." I don't think I have ever seen a person so greatful for something in my life. As we left I felt HAPPY! Happy to know that we made someone else feel just a little bit better today. I think Kelton learned an important lesson about serving others. I learned a lesson about how chocolate makes people happy. How the little things in life make people smile. It was a great day. We finished the day off with a fun walk around the park with Cooper in his new little stroller (thanks to my wonderful hubby), Nicole, and Dottie. Kelton flew his kite and Carson tried to tire Nicoles little dog out, but instead it sure tired Carson out. Brian was busy at school learning important things about machine work??????? Little things.....that is what life is about!

MY NEW FAVORITE TOY. I LOVE MY STROLLER....IT ROCKS!
