I think I'll go to Boston

This is my dear friend from high school, Lisa, with her lovely husband, Zariph, and their newly sealed baby, Boston Luke. I love adoptions and it is especially cool to see the sealing in the temple. Boston was a fabuluous baby and practically cooed during the ceremony. Congratulations Lisa and Zariph!!!
P.S. Everytime I think of Boston's name that song pops into my head--I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life . . . Feel free to join in.

He's 11 Now!!

Here are a few birthday shots at Spencer's party.

This kid loves his Wii and now he has Mario Kart which makes it even better.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The tour continues . . .

This is our master. I created the swag over the bed, Matt being his practical self finds it totally unnecessary as well as the bed skirt, but I think it finishes the room nicely. This is the good room.

Love our dresser and the window. Three cheers for fake wood blinds instead of the crappy vinyl ones.
The entertainment wall. Yes we have a T.V. in the bedroom.
This is the first bedroom. Right now it catches all the furniture we have no idea what to do with. Note the dresser, stair climber, and nighstand below. In my dreams Matt will build bookcases on both sides of the window that rest on the ledge, creating a built in window seat. This is the bad.
Now the ugly. This wall used to have wood panneling which I am whole-heartedly opposed to, so Matt has stripped the panneling. Next up rip down the drywall and install new drywall.
The window wall in the ugly room. This room gets tons of sun and will be nice when it is done, but right now it is HIDEOUS with a capital H.
The sewing machine is also in the ugly room, its folded down right now because as you all know I am currently in a very crafty stage.
Up next the bathrooms.
