How odd is it that it was almost 60 degrees and sunny out on Tuesday! We love it!
We celebrated Lindsey's birthday on Sunday. Kelli made the cake and mom made the dinner.
This Sunday we will celebrate Kelli's Birthday. She wants to go to Sansu, a sushi bar in East Lansing. Here are some pictures of Kilee Lynn that are cute.
So I tried writing one of these out a couple weeks ago and then it didn't save it and I was so frustrated I just didn't want to deal with it.
But now I will... unless this doesn't save, then we're screwed for about a year. But this just means things will be the short version.
1. Kelli got married
1.5 Eric turned 19
2. Eric and Mom slept in an airport for the first time going to Kalispell
3. Eric and Mom went to visit the Jahnke's in Kalispell for Christmas

The top story tonight: Kelli gets engaged!! Brett popped the question.The date is scheduled this December 19th. You can go to their website for more information.
Mom, Lindsey, Kilee, Steven, Jordan, and I all went to Peggy's Pumpkin Carving Party. Such great food and desserts!!! We carved pumpkins and mine was supposed to be Frankenstein. Kilee got passed around quite alot.
With the weather so nice on Sunday we cleaned out our gutters and put on gutter guards. Eric had to climb the latter up and mom tried to hold it steady.
The back of the house was fairly easy, the front of the house on the left side over by the bay windows, Eric almost died.
Hello there to anyone that may stop by to read this.
We thought we would make a blog just to update every now and then.
One of the big things to talk about right now would be our kitchen renovations. Mom is updating the kitchen. Our granite counter tops came about a two weeks ago and a new sink and faucet. The walls have been painted a moss green and a dark earth brown color on others. We have gotten two lights so far, one is a pendant light and the other is a chandelier made up of three tiffany lights.
The cabinets have been re-stained and have hardware. Tonight we are starting to place tile for the back splash, but won't really get to put it up on the wall until tomorrow morning. It is very tedious and Eric doesn't like it, but Brenda is doing a very good job at it!! Our pool is still a swamp! A disgusting cesspool of death and the most foul smell ever.Come have a whiff! Eric saw Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama at two different rallies recently. This was him at MSU.
Kelli went to California with Brett for a week. A cousin of his was getting married and his family had them come out and visit for it. This is her at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Lindsey and Kilee haven't been up to much but pooping. Mom has mostly been working on the kitchen and quilts.
Other than that, everything is going fine. Come back and see what's new soon!
