Mom taking care of us

Dave: I think we took a picture of this dinner because LaReita had cooked it for us and then had to run off to perform in a concert. We wanted her to see that we ate together and enjoyed the meal. Thanks mom!

Free mini-bike

A mini-bike the boys picked up on a trip to St. George. They stopped by a Wendy’s for some food and asked the employees about the mini-bike. They manager said it had been chained up to the store for a couple weeks, they didn’t know who it belonged to and wanted to get rid of it.

So for the price of some bolt cutters at Home Depot next door, they boys brought home a mini-bike – now how much is it going to cost to get it running?

Kitchen floor upgrade

After years of putting up with a scratched up kitchen floor, it was time to have it resurfaced.

Sam enjoys the new floor
To redo the floor we had to empty out the kitchen
And the fireplace (where stuff seems to migrate)
Where’d we put all the kitchen stuff? In the living room, of course
