Construction Worker in Training

Yes we are still kickin' here in Moab just very busy with a move-in and remodel.....yes at the same time.........in the same house!! It has been fun to work together!! Dad, Chels, Devin, and little Tyla Jo came to help!! Thanks you guys were amazing! We are replacing all the flooring in the house well not because I am spoiled and need new floor (despite popular belief) because they had a nasty, shaggy, pee pee prone dogs that lived in the house with them, all the time!! Yuck!!!! Sorry for you dog lovers but dogs belong out in nature not in with carpet!! But we are so excited and hopefully will be all done by Friday and move in Saturday!! Of course that is what we said last week! Jared has worked so hard and Grandma and Grandma 2 have been lifesavers with the kids!! They usually do pretty good at the house just playing outside but I tend to get a lot more done with out them!! The pic below is Brig helping his dad tear down part of a wall. He was so excited he get to help!! As you can plainly see by his huge smile! The only remodeling mishaps so far are that I painted a wall a deep burgundy red in one room and forgot that I left the roller on the ground with the paint can and then left to touch up another room. Well, stealth Brig decided to "help" me finish painting. He painted the other white walls with it and also the carpet (well at least we are replacing it). He was covered in paint and devastated that I was not pleased with his work!! Jared found it hilarious though!! Well, that is all we are doing well and loved conference!! It was so hard to pic a favorite talk but I loved Elder Ballards talk about motherhood!! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my children and be a mom!! I have an AWESOME husband and a very supportive family that help me do that!! Thanks to all of you (you know who you are)!! Hopefully we will have more pics and news to come!!
