Cold Weather

Well we are going green!! No, actually we are tight wods. We found out that the house we bought in Moses Lake had like 2 inches of insulation in the attic. Not sufficient for Necia's specs. So I said, "You fix it." Not to pass up any challenge Necia did the entire project in about 3 hours (not to mention about 2 hours of clean-up. Accidentally dropping the insulation blower hose out of the attic and into the bedroom is not a good idea). Well the truth is I simply don't fit into the attic; I'm too fat. There is about 2 ft of clearance in the middle but the middle is inacessible because of how the rafters are arranged in the attic. We all got pretty dirty and a huge thanks to Necia's Dad for his hints and advice.

Cutting Teeth

Jens has finally decided that now is a good time to start growing teeth. Oh joy! We debated weather or not to dope him up before church on Sunday to help with his violent mood swings.

This week I have been taking the appropriate grieving steps following BYU's loss to Yewtah. Ben has been helpful in providing comic relief. I found this one to be very hilarious.

Talking with Max

The following conversation ensued while Max, Natalie, Maren and I were geocaching this weekend:

Max: Hey Kyle, I think I understand your job better than anyone else's.

Kyle: Oh, yeah, how so?

Max: Well, Grandpa, I mean, what kind of job is that?

Kyle: LOL

Max: And my Dad, I've never seen him work.

Sunday snipets

The most exciting events during the past week included: Maren riding Spotsy, birthday parties, and Jens losing a fight with the sidewalk. Maren loved riding Spotsy--thank you Thyssens. She has renamed all of her toy horses and ponies Spotsy. My mom and neice recently had birthdays. Maylie turned the big one and my mom: she's forever young. Happy birthday girls!

And Jens well the picture explains all.

Halloween

Well we've finally caved to peer pressure and got ourselves a blog. Just a fore-warning, we don't promise anything fancy or on a regular basis. So here we go . . .



Halloween:
I think I had more fun dressing the kids up than they did. Maren was into the whole trick or treat thing, but Jens not so much. He just wanted to eat the candy. Kyle took Maren around our neighborhood and said that she "loved" every house they went. They were both pretty funny in their costumes.
