Is she getting old, or am I? **sigh**

Our Josie turned the big

this past Saturday.

She is now counting down for February 1st, the day she can get her drivers permit.

This was a fun night at mutual.  We had two exchange students in our branch this past school year, and we played some fun games at their good-bye party. 

The rules:  1)Get a partner 2)One of you put on a shower cap 3)The other partner covers the shower cap with shaving cream

4)Everyone lines up, shaving cream heads on one side, non caps on the other side, with about 5' between the two lines 5)The non-shower cap partner has a bowl of Cheetos and on the count of three they start to throw the Cheetos into the "hair" of their partner 6)At the end of the time limit (1 minute) you count to see how many Cheetos got stuck in your partner's 'hair'.  7)Who has the most wins

warning:  easiest clean up is to play this outside.

Two of my favorite people.  Jo & her dad. 

As usual, Josie couldn't keep a straight face in the straight face picture.

We LOVE you Josie. 

just an update

The front steps & walk were poured today.  Pretty soon the rock & columns will be done and then I think other than staining the front door, the exterior will be done...oh, and the garage doors put in. 

So close....for the outside anyway.

The back.  Nothing too exciting.  Layne is so excited to be able to start the deck though.  Not being in the middle of this build is driving him nuts.  Lets get the man in his tool belt already!

They ought to get the dirt moved around and the final grading done next week.  Then we can get some lawn planted. 

Ummm-has anyone seen a missing plumber?  We lost ours or he got lost.  Not sure.
