HOUSE FOR SALE

Thirty years in the same house produces a lot of memories. Ken was 30 and I was 29 when we decided we would build a house. The optimism of youth! We had the house framed and enclosed, then we set out to finish it. Ken learned about plumbing, wiring, finishing and I learned to keep my mouth shut and do what he told me. That kind of partnership would never work now, I can no longer keep my mouth shut and he knows it. Ha Ha!


Five years ago we remodeled our kitchen. It's the hardest thing for me to leave. We added lots of cabinets and I will only have about half that many in the new house. But then, there are a lot more restaurants in Billlings so I don't plan on cooking as much either.
Our children and grandchildren are having a harder time with us selling the house than we are.
We will be leaving this house, but we'll take the memories with us.

Some Great Diet Advice

My five year old granddaughter told me this today, "Grandma if you would just quit eating so much junk you wouldn't have to worry about being fat". I think she's on to something.

Easter 2010


Wow, I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post. What a slacker! I need to do this more often or give it up. The little guy below is part of why I haven't been posting. Him and his sister keep us pretty busy. Caelen and Luke waited by the window anxiously waiting for their cousins to arrive so they could start the Easter egg hunt.


The Easter bunny even hides eggs for the big kids. Taylor found hers pretty quick but the boys really had to hunt for theirs.






Luke even got into it, he did pretty good for being only 1 1/2. Of course, as soon as he found out there was candy in the eggs he wanted them all.





Kenzie found one with money in it so she was really excited.





The Easter bunny should have brought Talen suspenders! She is always losing her pants (no butt). Wish I had a little of that problem





Zac found his egg in the tree. He wasn't around last year so he didn't even think to look in the tree, we had to finally point it out to him.






It was kind of a windy, blustery day, but the sun did come out later so the kids could play outside.



We finally closed on our house in Billings, now we just have to sell the Colstrip house. Hopefully, we'll have it on the market by the first of May and sold soon after!
