New Shower Door

We finally got our shower door installed and it is awesome. It is a great looking glass door. It is hard to remember what the old shower looked like. I am very excited on how it all turned out.

Jared created a family history blog a while ago. It lists several family trees. I thought I would put a link to it on our blog.

The Bathroom Remodeling Projects

We decided to replace our shower and bathroom floors with travertine stone tiles.  It has taken a few weeks to get the master bath done but it has been worth it.  I tore out the old shower and floors and rebuild the shower.

The shower was enclosed on all four sides except for a small door.  I took out the wall where the door was so the shower ended up U shaped.  It looks great.  Our neighbor Howdy Whipple installed the stone for the shower and the floor in that bathroom.

  
Following his example I just replaced the old floor in the main bathroom with the travertine stone tile. 

Now I have to replace the baseboard and touch up some of the paint.  Then on the the entry way floor.  Hopefully I can get that done in the next few weeks.

Trip to Tombstone

 Jo and I planned for a few months to go visit Jared and Amelia at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, where Jared is in school.

 We took one day to visit the old town of Tombstone.  It was awesome.  It still had the feel of an old west town. Lots of town folks were strutting around and we also saw a reenactment of the shootout.

It's a new year but I haven't finished posting for last year.  Boy, am I slow....

Jared created this family history site.  I have lots of pictures and stories that can be added to it someday.  It's hard enough keeping up with our lives today.  Here is the link to the family history blog.

Visitors on Halloween

We had some scary visitors on Halloween.  A very pretty witch and an awesome cowboy!

Adia loved being a witch and scaring her little brother Gavin.

What a pretty smile (for a witch).

Gavin found the candy, forget the hat.

Back Home and Reunion Summer

 It had to happen and it did around the end of June.  JoAnn and I moved back into our home in Layton.  We were gone almost two years (22 1/2 months, to be exact).  We had a great time and have lots of wonderful memories of our living in Missouri and Florida.  We really miss the beach in Pensacola and all our friends that we made there.

Rick arrived on a Saturday along with his brother-in-law Reed from a three day drive cross country.  We drove over 2000 miles.  It was great to be home but I think Reed is still feeling the effects of the long drive.

Jordan got home about 10 days later (sorry no pics yet, but there is some that I will put up soon).

We went up to the Petterborg Family reunion held at Uncle Tom's farm which was the family farm where JoAnn's Grandma and Grandpa Petterborg raised their children.  We always eat dutch oven chicken and potatoes.  It was great!

Then we had the Drake family reunion, Rick's Mother's family.  It is held at Layton Surf and Swim and the park across the street.  This year was the first year without Great Grandma Drake.  We miss her.

Next up was the Webster Reunion.  We loaded up in a 'Le Bus' in Bountiful and rode up to Glendale, Idaho.  It is near Prestion.  We drove by the Logan Temple and stopped at a couple of cemeteries along the way.  We ended up out in the middle of a hay field for lunch and an program.  It was lots of fun.  Gavin had the most fun playing in the field.
