Finally finished!

I really have to commend the people that are able to update their blog daily. It feels like I updated our blog just a couple of days ago, but when I look at the date, I realize that it has been over 3 weeks.

We have been a little strapped for time during the month of June. Kenny has been doing summer school and Allison has been working a lot, and we have been working on the house like crazy. Very few improvements can be done during the winter here in Logan and even fewer will be done when we have the baby, so we are trying to get 6 months worth of improvements into a 3 month time frame. So far, so good- this last weekend, Curt, Terrilynne, and Corey came up and helped us paint our house. Prior to the new paint job, we had white siding with poorly maintained brown trim (although the previous owner did leave some of the gutter in a rainbow of colors, from brown to pink to unpainted galvanized steel). Since we have an older home, the siding is wood. Untreated wood can age really quick, so we were wanting to get a coat of anything on the sides to insure the wood wouldn't rot. We borrowed Blake's paint sprayer and went to town on the house, trim, and garage. We like the colors and how it all turned out, and we really like that we are pretty much done with home improvements for the year. Take a look...



Also, we are having a girl in October. We'll write more on that later on...

What we did with our summer vacation






Well, it has been a nice and relaxing week. We took the week off in anticipation of some relatives coming into town who weren't able to make it, so we had a week off and no plans. We made the best of it and it has turned out to be a neat week. We went to West Jordan to see Allison's family and enjoyed playing cards and went to Hogle Zoo in SLC. Allison also wanted me to mention that she did beat me at mini-golf. Next thurday is the day that we will find out what the gender of BTBNL is, wo we will keep everyone posted.
