Rugby 2010

Well, its another season of Rugby for Jacob, but this time he opted to play with Skyline instead.  He's hoping to get into the football practice squad for the Utes, but rugby will need to suffice until that happens. So far he's found out how out of shape he was and is working diligently to strengthen and gain more endurance. At the last game, he was actually the kicker - a first for Jacob. Here's to a healthy, injury-free rugby season!

Ty is gone to Basic Training

Its official! Ty is now a private in the National Guard and is gone to Fort Jackson, SC.  He will be there 10 weeks for basic training.  Jay and I will be attending graduation in Mid May. We'll post his mailing address as soon as we get it.  He is restricted to letters and photos only. No treats!  Once he's done with Basic, he continues for another 7 weeks for training.  Somewhere in between he will spend a little time at home.  Although this is a big step for Ty, we're very excited and proud of our Guardsman!  Hoorah!

Projects

So what do you do when you have no money and a lot of paint. Paint something!  I had wanting to re-do our faded looking stair rail/banister for quite sometime, but had no guts to really do it.  I was going through my old leftover paint selections and found an almost full can of Rustoleum Expresso Satin - Voila!  I started out what seemed to be so tedious. I still have so much to touch up and re-do. But you know what happens when you paint something - you have to paint what's next to it because now it looks pretty dull. So my living re-do, re-do continues to be our "lifestyle"
