Mesquite, NV

This is our new home in Mesquite, NV.
Zac and Cj and the boys helped us move some
furniture down last weekend.






We are the garages in the middle (2 of them).

I am not a good picture taker or else I would have
alot more pics along the way.





The Dining Room

Thanks to Zac and CJ for helping us with the move.

Mrs. Claus had a great time reading her favorite
christmas story to the children in Morgan.

THANKSGIVING 2011

We had a great thanksgiving this year!

For dinner, it was just Jim, Rylee and myself, but you
would have thought I was having an entire extended family
over. I cooked enough to fill alot of people. After we ate,
Zac, CJ and the boys arrived.

Tagg played with some dinosaurs while the adults
and older kids played a quick game of "9's".


It was not long and Mackenzie and Blakeley got
here and then we started on our new thanksgiving
tradition. (thanks to Stacy) We made some
count down to christmas calendars.

The kids got right to work on the decorating and
labeling the calendars with the numbers.


Tagg got a little bit of help from his dad.

Rylee was being really creative.


Good thing that Rylee is old enough to do this on
his own cause this is where his dad was after dinner.


Tagg loved the stickers that we had.

Rylee colored his numbers very creatively

Tagg ended up on top of the table in order to reach
his artwork.(I really think that he was reaching for
an extra piece of candy)

Blakeley pondering over what do to to her calendar
next. Kenzie I think is helping her with the sticky
dots that held on the candy.

I really think that we all had a good time.

Rylee with his finished product.

Tagg and Zac with their creation, complete with
chocolate face and chocolate fingerprints....

Treyson did a fine job on his.

Blakeley with her masterpiece....

Blakeley had a little accident with a "GO-GURT"


If you look close enough it is in her hair, on her
face and all over her shirt....

We had a great thanksgiving and I think that we
have started a new tradition. Thanks to all that
helped with the Christmas Countdown Calendars.
It made This Grandma very happy!!!

Now for the rest of the story. We are having our
carpet reattached into our master bedroom closet
and in order to do that and have the bedroom carpet
restretched and cleaned we had to move out into
the garage for a few nights. Yes we are sleeping
in our garage.....It will only be for a few nights and
it really is not too bad....Had to post pics so that
the girls at work would believe me.....Doesn't look
too bad, just looks like we are hoarders.....


HOPE EVERYONE HAD A VERY NICE THANKSGIVING.
I know I have a lot to be thankful for.....

YARD SALES!!! gotta luv em

Check out this awesome yard sale find that my husband
found for us this morning.....I woke him up early to go and see if
he could find us some furniture for Mesquite and he came
home with this beautiful dining set for our house. Now
I guess we can send our other set down to Mesquite....

Thanks dear....

THE END OF YEAR BASEBALL!!!

Well this is how our season ended up.....

The 12U Ogden City league championship was won
by our boys last night at the 4th street park.
They played an awesome game and we are
very proud of them.
I did not have my camera with me so this blog
will be a collage of the other games throughout
the past year.....





Getting ready for games in Salina? (I think that
is where we were playing)



One proud papa...(ps, this is before the legs had
a full summer of sun on them, not that they got a
whole lot darker)

Good Ole' 4th street park....

by the way Rylee'sdad played alot of games
at this park back in the day
Even aunt Pauline played at this park.




Rylee competing in the throwing contest.
Which by the way he did very well at.....

Course I am the proud mama. We have been running
all summer long to baseball and it has been a very time
consuming sport but I can honestly say that I have enjoyed
the games and also the friendships that I have gained.....

See you next season!!!

SATURDAY CONTINUED

 Saturday....."the rest of the story"

While CJ and I were attending Super Saturday (with Tagg in the Nursery)

Zac was at my house designing and building me a MASTER BEDROOM

WALK IN CLOSET!!!  Do I say this with a lot of excitement???  I am so

excited to have a nice big closet....We have a very large bedroom with alot

of wasted space so by adding a wall and then putting in built ins it will be a great

storage/closet space.  This will also free up closet space for Jim in the existing

wall closet that we have.

Here you see all of the shelving that he has put in.  I am really getting headaches just thinking about
all of the totes of yarn that I can store in there.....

The original walls are painted the green and I wanted to leave

them the way they are and then we are going to paint all of

the shelving white like the trim in our room.

This is the doorway that leads from the bedroom.






This is an awesome shoe rack with slanting
shelves that Zac designed and built. He was
worried about only fitting about 30 pair of
shoes but I assured him that I don't own
even that many pairs of shoes......Guess I
will just have to go shopping for some more...


I am such a visual person that I am sure
I drove Zac crazy with all of my questions.

He had it all designed in his head and knew
that it would work out and now that he has
it built I love it.

Then they had to hang the new door.

This is on the back wall and will hold 5 places for hanging
clothes.....Opps  gonna need more clothes cause I don't have
enough to fill that whole wall.


The door was hung in one try.....

After we got done we rewarded everybody with a
wiener roast out back.  We got a fire going with all of
the scraps of wood and decided to roast some dogs
and mallows!!!

CJ had to work so she was not there but we had a good
time anyway.



Tagg was glad to have the attention of his dad.


Don't you just love the soft hue of this professional picture.
It is a really cute one of all of them.  I sure wish that I
could have focused the camera.....
