Construction and Remodeling Fun

-
 To better accommodate our growing family we have taken on a fun construction and remodeling job for our home.  We are in the process of turning our garage into an extra bathroom, bedroom, office, and utility room, while we build a detached garage to the side.  It's been fun and we've learned lots of awesome things about our home like our foundation is crazy strong, and our house is framed in red wood, making it nearly bug proof.  So cool!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science.
