Sticky

For the past week or so Stuart and I have spent a great deal of our free-time (and some of Stuart's work hours) installing wood floors in Stuart's mom's new house.


The wood floors are beautiful, but the job is very big... a little overwhelming. That's Helen in the above picture with Stuart.




Any guesses if Stuart's back hurts? :)



And this is my job.... I am the glue spreader. I should really come up with a more professional name, perhaps Professional Adhesive Applicator? But, yeah, basically I spread glue.... it's sticky and messy, I end up with glue all over my body and clothes. And soap and water alone do not remove this glue. It takes turpentine or rubbing alcohol and lots of cotton balls. :) And I've dipped the end of my ponytail twice now, so my hair is a tad bit shorter than it was - and now stays up in a bun!

Flying Airplanes

On Father's Day Stuart, Paul, Whit, Sesaly, Howie and I went up to USU to fly remote-controlled airplanes. Paul spent most of his time fixing his :) since it dropped like a rock everytime he threw it. Stuart had some long flights, but unfortunately also ran his plane into 2 buildings! :) It was lots of fun!

It's Done!

Paul was so great and came out and helped Stuart and me finish our rock wall! This is our version of a wheel-barrow. Of course the rock-wall is in the front yard and the extra dirt is in the back yard.

Paul looking strong and man-ish.

And here it is! It looks SO good!

Now all we need is another small rock-wall, more dirt moved around, a sprinkler system and then GRASS! :)

Knife Fight Anyone?

Today Stuart and I were in the kitchen and we both had some knives.... so naturally Stuart challenged me to a knife fight... below you will see our knives (mine is the smaller one)

I, of course, did not want to have a knife fight, so I quickly became unarmed :) Stuart grabbed my knife to show me how to clang the two together, and he dropped my knife. Luckily, he moved his foot in time, but my wood floor wasn't so lucky....
And the moral of the story? DON'T PLAY WITH KNIVES!!!
