Oh, the Memories

This is kinda fun to see what everyone writes

This is how it works:
1. Leave one memory that you and I had together, as a comment on my blog. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! This is our family blog, so if you have a memory about Camryn or Kendra you can tell about that too.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

Bailey

We have had Bailey back at our house for about 3 weeks now. Jeff has had her until now. My girls LOVE Baily, especially Kendra. She is often hugging or laying on her. She also keeps tabs on her, and tells me when Bailey is getting in the garbage or some other naughty thing. We all like having her around.

My Family Rocks!

It was so fun to hear about what everyone did over the 4th of July holiday. Do you want to know what my family did? They worked, hard. My mom, dad, Dane, and Mickell were all here on the 4th working on my house. Travis, Nicole, Taylor, and Kaydence came Saturday morning and joined in. They all stayed as long as they could; most stayed until Monday evening. Everyone worked hard the entire time they were here.

My dad completely gutted my old, nonfunctional bathroom. Old yellow tile, maroon tub, toilet, and sink, and nasty carpet gone. Thanks to Brad,

a friend of ours (see Brad and Sage Hanks blog), we got a nice new soaker tub to put in. Brad helped us with a lot of supplies. This bathroom was dad's big project. It has already been a lot of work, and it's not done yet.

Here my wonderful, smiling mother is in the process of removing the 6 layers of wallpaper that were in this area of my house. There was wallpaper in every single room of my house. I use the past tense, because between, my mom, Nicole, and myself, most rooms are now wallpaper free. We are debating starting an anti-wallpaper campaign.

After wallpaper removal was complete, priming and painting began (isn't Nicole beautiful, even when she's working so hard). Before everyone left, my living room, hallways, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom were all painted. All wall and trim done. It made such an amazing difference.

Taylor and Travis trimmed out my windows that were replaced long ago and never trimmed. They both did tons of other stuff, but this was a big project.

In addition to helping with various projects, Dane and Mickell watched Camryn, Kendra, and Kaydence so we could actually get some work done.

What a difference everyone made over a holiday weekend.

MY FAMILY ROCKS!

Love my sister, Mickell

My wonderful sister, Mickell has come to save the day. She has come to help take care of Camryn and Kendra. I haven't changed a diaper in 36 hours! I agree with my cousin Laura, that had to be wonderful in the good old days, when a young girl would come help new moms. Absolutely wonderful. [Yes, Kendra's diaper is duck taped on. That is what it takes to keep it there.]

Mickell took the girls over to my neighbor's house for a water party while I was at work. They had a blast!

Kendra didn't do much swimming on her own, but had an equally good time clinging close to Mickell.
