To be continued.

So we have been wanting to paint for a long time now. But something always comes up or its not a good time or or or..... so we've never painted. The upstairs we have done but have never gotten to the kitchen, front room and upstairs hall. Which is what needed it the most.

Well today was the day.

We were passing the Home Depot yesterday and Scott said, "Do you want to go in and get painting supplies?" HECK YES I DO!!! He didnt think that also meant that he would be painting today. Im sorry to burst his bubble.

So we started the daunting task today.

Scotts brother came over to help (used to paint for a job). My job was to entertain the kids. We went to Carls Jr and played in the play place for 1.5 hours and then up to Scotts parents house for a couple hours. Then I came home and put the boys to bed for a nap.

Meanwhile Scott and his brother got the ceilings done. We will be doing the walls this coming week and then the trim. Or the other way around...who knows. Im very excited. The kitchen needed this SOOO BAD!!!

When Ben went home we started patching wall holes. Left the room and sweet little Chase dug out a huge chunk of patch that we had just patched. Hes so sweet...I could just... ;-)

We will be doing one wall chocolate brown and then all the rest of the walls a tan. Here are some before pics...ok not before... I guess they are "In progress" photos.

Kelli said...: funny...we are doing a painting project today, too. but, lucky for us, it's just the storage room. Nothing complicated like a kitchen.
Have fun. Thanks for the letter.; 1:40 PM

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
