OK I've been tagged

Here I am sitting outside next to a few of the birdhouses I've made. I'd rather be outside than anywhere! Here is my bedroom; note the papers on the nightstand, (I'm reading Tom's newest novel script!) and the suitcase to the side of the bed ( unpacking from Phoenix and packing for Tremonton) I have a very comfortable bed!
This is one of my closets. I just got back from Phoenix and I'm packing for next weekends trip to Tremonton for the blessing of Seth. I live out of a suitcase.
The kitchen sink doesn't look so bad since I ate out at the Bear Paw this morning and have only been home a few hours!
The fridge is full of I don't know what. Like I said, I haven't been home. Nancy, Dan and Brian are fending for themselves so I hope they know what's in here.
The washroom is a pretty busy place in my house. I love the lizards on the wall and on the door pulls. We have lots of lizards in St. George.
The master bath is Nancy's. I do use the jet tub on occasion but I like my bathroom just fine.
Cute Shoes!!!! I used to like a heel on my shoes but I find I can move faster in flats and I love the red color!
My favorite room is the downstairs tv room! I love my baskets above and my Al Rounds paintings on the walls.
My favorite place in my house is on the balcony. The view is great and it is outside! I'm excited it is cooling down so I can enjoy being outside again.
My favorite vacation spot is anywhere and anytime that I can be there to spend time and help my family and friends. Hopefully I will get increasing amounts of vacation time. Like my brother says, "We want to spend retirement going about doing good!"

So now I guess I pass on the tag to Sarah Stauber and Erika Reyes!

House and Home

Check out the update on the house with the new color.
I need everyone's help! The problem is the crack in the wall. What do you think I can do besides start over??? I'm looking for any ideas.
Also before I left for Phoenix I made a quick trip to Tremonton to visit Seth. Everyone is doing great. Allison is feeling better; Carter is off to kindergarten, Mason is now 3 and Bryan is busy putting up a shed I bought for him. I think next time he may want to come with me when I pick something out. I hope it's done by my next visit.

A Summer's Work

The summer has come to an end and I am ready to change from construction to the classroom. I don't think I have sweat this much in a long time. The air conditioner is not fixed in the rental even now but hopefully will be tomorrow! My great crew worked overtime to finish the house and now it is rented and ready to go.
The last few pictures are my attempt of landscapping my neighbor's yard. They are so cool to let me have a free rein on their yard!
