New Wood Floors

It was definately time for our house to have a makeover. We decided to break the remodeling up into sections. The first section to be done was the Living Room and hallway. It started out with a major demolition day with Connie and Bobbie Lucero, my mom and Papa, helping me knock down a wall and pull up the carpet and baseboards. It was a very long day but we got it done. This gave me a day to put paint on the walls before the new floor went in.

My first hero is my brother, Camron. He and his family drove to Thatcher for the weekend to help me with the project. Camron spent the day with me painting the walls and making everything look great. That evening my other hero, my brother-in-law Brent and my sister Krista arrived to help with the installation of the floors the next day. Krista was especially sweet as it was her birthday and so she let me borrow her husband most of the day. Early Saturday morning, the process began...




I am just so grateful for my family and friends and all they do to help me. I definatley could not have done this project without them. It was great to have a wonderful weekend with them, even though Brent and Camron were very sore for a few days. We love the end product.

HAPPY "21" Mandi!!!

Mandi is finally "LEGAL"! One of the questions she asked me was, "What do kids do when they turn 21 and don't drink or gamble?" Well, the answer was, come to Thatcher and go to La Casita with your family. That might sound boring to some people but to Mandi it was just fine. Koby had basketball games that weekend and we were putting wood floors in our house. So, that was the excitment of the Birthday weekened. I can't believe Mandi is 21, wow time sure flies. We love her so much and are happy that she is such a special part of our family.
