Our Lighting is Finished

The lighting in my kitchen is finally done! Travis spent yesterday trying to figure out how to put in our recessed lighting without cutting a channel into the ceiling. Travis got all thirteen lights put in and hooked up without cutting into the ceiling and he did a great job! For someone who has never done electrical work before, it looks like it was done by a professional.

Fun at Mt. Ashland

We had so much sledding today at Mt Ashland. Ethan was so funny he went to the top of the hill with a disk sled, and on the way down he was going so fast he took out a lady. It was her fault for standing in the middle of the hill. The next time Ethan came down he was yelling look out below!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas with pink eye. It seems like every Christmas my kids get pink eye. Thanks to Dr. England and the drops he gave us Madison, Bryson, and Ethans eyes didn't hurt that bad and they were able to enjoy their Christmas.

Baking is hard work with no kitchen!

Bryson's Favorite Aunt

Bryson just loves his Aunt Carrie! He always gets a big smile on his face when he's with her. Carrie thanks for being so wonderful to my kids. They all love you so much!!

Handmade Ornaments are the Best!

Here are all the cute ornaments my kids made for me at school

When I was taking Ethan's picture I noticed that his front bottom tooth was ready to come out. I told him to get ready for another picture and I pulled it out before he could even think about it. This is Ethan's first time losing his tooth. He is so excited for the Tooth Fairy to come in the morning!

Our Ceiling

We finished cutting the holes for our canned lighting tonight. Ethan had lots of fun helping Travis and cleaning the mess.

Inside this vacuum is what came out of the ceiling when they were cutting the holes.

I took a picture of this hole so you can see the three thick layers they had to cut through.

Here is Ethan having fun with the vacuum

Tim to the Rescue

Our Electrician told us that we had to tear out the whole ceiling in order to put in can lights. Tim came over and he and Travis figured out how to do it without tearing down my ceiling. I was in the family room while they were cutting the holes in the ceiling and I heard laughing coming from the kitchen. When I went in the kitchen I saw that all of this sandy insulation from my ceiling poured out of the whole Travis was cutting and on to Travis. Thank you Tim for your help!
