Stephanie's Wedding

Tami says I blog too much about projects and need to start including family things more often. So, here we go. Stephanie (Tami's sister) was married earlier in September and we ended up with some pretty cute pictures. I don't want to include all of them, but here's a few. It was a full day event and the kids did relatively well but were pretty tired by the end of the night. So were Tami and I. This first one at the Jordan River temple is kind of funny. We told Kaley that while we were inside to not let the kids get wet, especially Isaac. However Kaley swears that she only turned her back for a second and sure enough, Isaac was in. Luckily it was just his socks and sandals that got terribly wet.We happened to snap this little impromptu family picture there at the fountain near the temple entrance. It's been awhile since we've done professional family pictures. We'll need to do some soon.And of course we have our little "best friends" picture of the kids. Our little blonde-haired twins.As Stephanie and Ben came out of the temple, we had the kids walk up and congratulate them. Isaac was a little shy, but I included this one more so that those who haven't seen a picture of Ben yet could get an idea of what he looks like (and the height difference between Steph and him. They have a few more between them than Tami and I.)And of course we can't forget the reception. It was done at a pavilion at a park in Sandy. Actually a nice little place. Always good to get away from church cultural halls sometimes. Adele made Brooklyn's dress and bought Isaac's stylin' 3-piece suit. He looked pretty darn handsome. We tried to keep the hoards of girls away, but they just couldn't resist!Another cute picture of Brooklyn and Isaac together. Tami tied Brooklyn's hair in rags again the night before, which helped give her bodyless hair some density to it.And of course the whole family was done up pretty nicely. Boy were we ready for bed at the end of that night. 3 down . . . two to go. Come on, Brian and Kaley! What's the hold up? :)

Study done and other projects

So I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Life has been busy. However here's a few things. We finally got the study done. It's actually been done for quite awhile. Here's some of the finished pictures. The mud, taping and texturing actually went pretty well. The room looks like it was part of the original home, which is all I care about. I just need to paint the new doors white and buy the hardware, but that can wait.
I've also begun installing shelves in a closet in our theater room. We had the builders put in a very basic shelf, but we needed a place to store all of our DVD's, videos and games. So I've been busy building some shelves. With a little paint they should turn out very nice
