House work!

It is not pretty folks but there used to be two large holes right here that are now large mismatched drywall! I hope it looks better after tape and mud.

This is a very ugly and generic light cover but it works and came with the seal for the shower. Travis could do nothing but laugh at my great concern over the ugliness of this light cover!

Ok, I thought I would post and let everyone know what we are doing. I am just keeping busy with work, two kids, a husband and a big house and yard, no biggie! Lol! Travis and I finally got the light covers on the shower lights; they are not my favorite but are functional and the only "shower" light covers for a cam in all of Lowe's. Also i have been busy doing repairs and fixes as well as trying to control the wasp population at our house. I finally put the dry wall back into place and repaired the holes from moving the washer and dryer downstairs and capping off the water lines in the kitchen wall, so I don't have to see pipelines in my kitchen when I cook now! Yah! We have a friend coming over in the next few days to tape and mud the repairs I just did. I also torn out the caulk from around the bathtub upstairs and re-caulked it and since I had my upstairs bathroom all torn apart, I did a deep cleaning of the floors and base boards. So not a lot of fun but I hope I can keep up with this house. We are starting to rearrange the kitchen for the pantry to be put in place and doors put up to cover up the mess but I have a feeling that it is still a few months out, lol! Later, Amy

Hi

I was just online really quick tonight will Travis is working late and thought I would post. Fyi for everyone I am now on facebook as well but very slow at it still and don't really get it, but I am there and it is nice seeing old friends from high school and what is going on in their lives.

Fair time!

We went to the fair last Tuesday and rode some rides but mostly we went through the farm areas and petting zoo. The kids loved all the animals, even the stinky pigs that Trevor wanted to visit again and again. McKee's was there with the petting zoo and we love all their friendly animals. We also seen animals racing, yes folks, pigs, ducks, goats and chickens racing each other. It was very funny!

My little explorer!

So Trevor brought me his cute little plastic ice cream cone and then told me he brought me a present. I, as a mother, accept all presents offered no matter what it turns out to be; even grasshoppers! Yes, he had a grasshopper hiding inside of his plastic ice cream cone and was so very careful and gentle with it that you just couldnt be upset over it. It was very sweet of him to bring it in and share it with him mom, who obviously doesnt get outside as much. Later, Amy

Larry is home

I am sure most of you know, since I am way behind in posting but Larry came home on August 25th and was very excited to do so. He is looking really great and doing well. We all went out to dinner together tonight and really enjoyed sitting around and visting with each other. We are very grateful to have him around a little bit longer. P.S. Don't say anything about that messy hair in the hospital! Lol! Later, Amy

Posting pic finally

Hi, I am finally getting some pics up from the Brownlee family Reunion the first weekend in August and the next week in August we went to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah while we were down there. It's not a lot of pics but I am still trying to get all caught up on everything. Later, Amy

quick update

Ok so I am skipping work to even have time to post this but just a quick update, not a lot of new news though. Larry is doing much better but still having some issues. Larry is off the ventilator now but still not on solid food (not even liquids) he is on a feeding tube still and has some sores in his throat from the tube. He is not happy about not being able to eat and when we visited on Sunday was sad the kids couldnt go see him also, he even asked about little Trevor. He was talking about 8 foot watermelons and fish legs; so the sooner he can get on some foods the better. Lol! He has not had any complications from all the surgeries in the tummy areas so that is great that no infection has gotten in there. Juanita said it will be another 2 or 3 weeks before they will talk about letting him come home from Salt Lake City but we are just happy to see him up and about. We appreciate all the help from Juanita's family and especially her sisters staying with her and helping us have some more peace of mind about her being so far away from us; and for their families making sacrifices so they can be away from home.
