The power went out today. Charlotte's response is, "Lights, you're in trouble!"

We're packing up the car tonight for a trip to Denver for an extended weekend. Kelly and I try to go out to visit Paul (Kelly's Dad) and his family. Included in the itinerary is good snowboarding. With the amount of snow Utah received this year we anticipate a great weekend of spring-like skiing. Colorado's ski resorts are at a much higher elevation than Utah so their snow pack ususally sticks much longer as well. Paul and Kim will come out Saturday to watch the kids and give Kelly and I a day to ride without the kids as extra baggage! We truly look forward to it!

On the home front, all our interior doors, base boards and casings were delivered this morning. Once we get back from Colorado, the plan is to hang the doors, install the base boards, casings and window sills. I'll be glad to put down the paint sprayer for a week and focus on woodworking which I enjoy much more. Saw dust is easier to clean than paint.

Grahm is comfortable walking, weighs more than Charlotte and is developing a tough boy mentality. Often too tough for Charlotte's liking. Video of Grahm walking coming shortly.

Charlotte has been putting full sentences together that keep us laughing and sometimes guessing. I'll keep posting my favorite sayings.

Dad: "Charlotte, do you want to help Daddy clean up?"

Charlotte: "Um...how'bout...no, daddy do it!"

Instead of "everybody" it's "Lots of Buddies"

While banging her elbows on the dinner table, "Look mom, my elbows are jumping!"

Pics of the week.

She liked these pig-tails for about an hour...this is the only time we could convince her to do something with her hair.














Charlotte and Grahms first trip to the beach ...Charlotte called the waves scary bubbles!





Nightly ritual ...getting the sugar bugs!













She couldn't believe how real these stuffed bunnies looked.

Insulation - Fin

Drywall is scheduled to come March 10! The basement is heated, wired, finally insulated as of tonight and ready for drywall. Next steps...flooring, paint, and finish work. Those coming to UT and needing some space to stretch their legs are more than welcome. Once you're done stretching your legs, I'm sure we'll have a paint brush, slate, hammer and nail ready for use.

First Time for Everything

I've never blogged before...is this a kind of dance? I feel like I need to be listening to Flogging Molly or something.

Yesterday Kelly, Charlotte, Grahm, and I went to the Greens for an Everson cousin get together. Cort and Shalaine were in town with Axel, their newest addition. At this family event blogging was discussed, specifically the Green Family Blog, and this triggered my desire to start a blog.

Kelly diligently writes a journal, I'm too lazy to do that and I gotta watch SportsCenter again before I go to bed, not re-cap the days events. I thought this would be a better place to post thoughts, activities, events, and happenings in not only my family but the extended Glauser family too.
