Braker box 1- 9

Our dryer quit working yesterday. I had a load of dipers in the dryer at the time. So last night after the kids were in bed, I layed them out around the living room to finish drying. Jacob checked to see if the vent hose was plugged, it wasn't. ??? We are so not knowledgable in figuring out what the problems are and fixing them. :( But now is the perfect time to learn with family close and willing to show us or tell us what to do. This morning Grandpa told me to check the braker box. So I did and the dryer started again. So now we are waiting to see if it will quit again when I try to dry another load and then take it from there. Speaking of which the washer just stopped so I'm going to go and put them in the dryer. Back in a sec....

Ok, where was I...The kids are playing outside. YAH!!! It has been cold and rainy the past few days. The kids were about to go crazy with built up energy. Today the sun is out, so the kids are outside burning some of that energy! I think I might go out and pick more plums too. They are getting pretty ripe and then freeze what we don't eat in the next week. I just love having fruit trees in my yard!

Jacob is out for the day. He had alot of interviews to do. Yesterday he was at a football game in the cold. Brrrr. He was sick for the first part of this week, but is doing better today. Thank the Lord!

Now that we have the garage cleaned out, Josh told us to figure out where we are going to want the windows and doors, so that they could come and work on putting the new floor down and closeing in the garage. So yesterday I graphed out the garage and I think we have something that will work for us. We have a 8x5 bathroom, a 10x 15 bedroom, and a 20x14 livingroom. For my family that has been down here and knows our houses, that is a bathroom the size of Aunt Cathy's little bathroom, a bedroom the size of Jacob and mine bedroom and then a livingroom the size of Grandma's minus the fireplace stuff. Now we just have to go look at the windows that Ted got for us to see which ones we want and then figure where we want them and then figure out the door placements. It is fun, for me anyway :P , I don't know if Jacob would call it "fun". lol

We have a new little "friend" in our house who likes to serenade us. Apparently when we had the snake and was feeding it crickets, one escaped. It is now camping out behind my refrigerator and letting us know he is there from all his lovely cherping.

Tuesday was a just girls out day for my Grandma, Moriah and me. We went out shopping for clothes for Grandma. Grandpa hates doing that sort of thing, so for her late birthday present I took her shoppping and bought her some new clothes. It was a wonderful day. We both enjoyed getting out and spending some time together. Moriah was sure a purfect angel while we were out. And we found Grandma three new dress outfits and a few new tops. We were pleased. When I got home that evening, my wonderful husband had cleaned the kitchen and picked up the livingroom. *sigh* What a perfect day!

Moriah has a real crib now. Up until now she was using a pack and play. Now she has a white crib that Debbie gave us. I think she is enjoying it. I know I am!

Josiah found the joy of using Moriah's back for a coloring book. I walk out of the bathroom and there is Moriah in her nice clothes with black lines all down her back. AAAHHHHH! lol! Thankfully it did wash out well.

Well, let me put some pictures up here before I go and feed my bottemless pitted kids. :)

Here is Hope Davis (Josh and Debbie's third child- 4yrs) up in one of Grandpa's trees. She even out climbed the boys! Go Hope!

Here is Andrew Davis. He is 2 and is oh so cute. He is really talking now. I just love hearing him say my name!
