Sheet Rock going up

Insulation went in last week upstairs...

And downstairs.

Then on Saturday the sheet rock started going up.

We had to rent this contraption to help lift it up to the ceiling.

Stephen got to help ...a lot!

They worked hard all day and really didnt get

as much done as they had hoped.

But most of my bedroom got done. And this is where we will enter the closet from

between the archway.  On either side is our vanities in the  master bathroom.

My Father in Law knows everything! 

He is such a trooper at 82!

More sheet rock this week to come!

Happy Mother's Day

God could not be everywhere, so he created Mother's!

I am so thankful to be a mother and to have 2 wonderful mother's in my life!

I truly have the best of both worlds.  A mother who nurtured me and showed me by example just how loved, valued and cherished I am by her and my Father in Heaven.  And a mother who taught me how to fullfill my responsibilities

 and duties of motherhood. 

Mother's are the heart of the family.

 Mother's love you like no one else in the whole wide world.

Mother's cry for you like no one else.

Mother's are always your greatest fan.

Mother's will walk thru fire for you.

Mother's will give you their last dime.

Mother's will feed you til you burst!

A Mother's Love is second only to God's Love!

Mother's make the world go around.

For you I will

Well, here's how Stephen looked this morning when he left for school.

And here is the video of when he sang to Elsie to accept her invitation to

 "Last Chance" which is the last dance of the year...girls choice!

(btw..this was in Girl's Choir class)

He's got a lot of gutts...that's all I gotta say!

For You I Will - Teddy Geiger

Here he goes again!  There's another dance coming up next weekend.  It's called "Last Chance" and it was girl's choice.  So, this cute girl that Stephen really likes asked him to go to it by making a cute video of a bunch of songs about the "last chance" and last dance".  So, today Stephen has left for school in his new suit and tie and 2 long stemmed roses, to answer her.  One rose will be waiting for her on a music stand at the entrance of her classroom with a note with her name on it.  Then as she sits down he will enter with the other one and he will hand it to her and sing this song as his friend plays the music on his guitar!  Stephen is the craziest teenage boy I know and I love it! 

I sent him to school with my camera so a friend could record it for me.  Cross your fingers that it turns out good and I will post it later!

HAPPY  CINCO  DE'MAYO!

eat lots of good mexican food today!!

Sheet Rock!

Yesterday the sheetrock was delievered! 

 I am so excited to see the inside walls actually covered with something! 

Here is some of the sheetrock being put into the house.

Mike had the day off and so he spent the day working on the garage before he got called about starting another Superintendent project for Miller. 

 He's excited! 

Here's a view of the house from the road (Theresa). 

Don't you just love those stairs? I do:)
