Another Busy Weekend!

Just wanted to share some pictures from our weekend.
LeRoy and I had the honor of attending the Mrs. Idaho pagent in Boise. Our neighbor and friend Jill Knapp was a contestant. She looked beautiful and did a GREAT job. Out of 16 contestants she made the top 6! In the final round she took 5th runner up! We are so proud of all she has accomplished!



It was also a chance for LeRoy and I to get dressed up and have a "date night". LeRoy was able to wear the suite he purchased 15 years ago! He said it fits him better now that it did when he bought it! He tried on the suite that he wore just 4 months ago in Ireland and he could not keep the pants from falling off! I am so PROUD of all his hard work to loose weight and be healthier. To date he has lost 35 pounds!!!! He looks amazing and feels much better! Here are a couple of pictures of LeRoy and I all dressed up.



Stephanie also had a busy day Saturday. She was invited to attend the "American Cancer Society Appreciation Ball" by our family friend Jon Bowers. Jon is a survivor of a brain tumor that was dicovered 9 years ago when he was just 9 years old. Jon has been a camper at the "Camp Rainbow Gold", a canp for kids with cancer. This year he will be a Junior Counselor. Shephanie was very honored to attend and had a wonderful evening. Here are a few pictures of her all decked out! She is a beautiful young woman inside and out! We love you Stephanie!!!

Visit with Tara, Andrew and the kids

Tracie's sister Tara and her husband Andrew came down to Nampa to visit us with the kids, Malia, Jillian and Kyle the end of March for 3 full days! We had so much fun! It was great so see them.
We got the GoCart running and EVERYONE had to ride it. I am not sure who had more fun... the kids or the BIG kids! LOL

We also went to Given's Hot Springs for an afternoon. The water was great!

We had our good friends Rod and Doris and their son Alex over for dinner and had a campfire in the woodstove in the garage because it was rainy and windy outside. We even made SMORE's!

What a GREAT weekend!

Some of our recent projects

We have been busy in the garage again. Here are a couple of our latest projects.
We built a pot rack for above our center island in the kitchen. LeRoy and the kids bought me new pots and pans for my birthday and I wanted to show them off. Check it out!

The "BARN" in our pack yard! We are in the process of building a 12x16 shed in our back yard. We will add the shingles this weekend and paint in a couple of weeks.
