James Taylor Concert

Hey, last night was a lot of FUN!. Kim won tickets to see James Taylor from an radio station. Bob and I got to go with them. Limo and all. They had the limo pick them up at home and brought the boys over to our house for Carrie and Denver to watch. Then we got in and off we went to the concert.

The view from inside the limo. It was kind of fun knowing people were trying to look inside to see who was in there.
The concert itself was really fun, lots of people, some of them crazy, but it was great.
It's hard for me to imagine how OLD James Taylor really is. He sounds just like he always has. And his songs are still great songs.
I wish I had some pictures of him jumping around. He really amazed me. It was a great night and I just have to say, Thanks Kim.

Ladies and Gentlemen--Our finished Basement!!

We now have a finished basement. The poor carpet man was here from 9:30 to 4:30. Between doing the stairs and having to haul everything downstairs he had quite a work out. But it sure looks good.
The view from the bottom of the stairs. Carrie's room in on the left and Randy's is on the right.

The "theater room" from the doorway.
And from a different angle.
Our entertainment center. We looked at a lot of different places for one that would hold all of our componants. Couldn't find one that we liked, or that didn't cost $15oo. So Bob made it himself. Personally I like this one better than any of the ones we looked at. It was made to fit the speakers, the other 4 speakers are at the back of the room in the storage area. It is made so that their sound comes from behind you. It really sounds nice.
We realized that this top shelf was just the right size for the slot machine. It finally has a place to show it off.

This is the Game Bar. We needed someplace to store the games and remotes. (I can't believe how many remotes we have.)

The top of the Game Bar is made out of the same tile as the wall sections. It looks really good.
This is the gas fireplace, come winter I will move Uncle Dave's wood art. Guess that won't work too well on top of the fireplace. Actually we might hang it on the wall. Looks pretty cool on the brown carpet.
This is now the storage area. It is the south side of the room.
And there you have it folks. Bob did a fantastic job. Now he gets to start on the living room upstairs. We moved the furniture from there downstairs, and bought new stuff for upstairs. So before it comes we need some new carpet and hardwood flooring put in there. Poor Guy.

Carrie and Randy's Graduation

Hey, I was just looking at the pictures on my camra, and realized that Bobby, Marcy and Chris haven't seen the pictures from the twins graduation. So here are a few of the highlights.

Dinner at PF Changs before graduation. Had to be before because graduation started at 7 pm.



Our two graduates on the steps of the Huntsman Center. Don't they look great!!
Because she was singing with the choir Carrie was the 2nd person to enter. Her friend Jessica was the 1st.

Randy is still looking for us. We are sitting on the same row as his friends. He has found them, but he can't find us.

Carrie singing with the Concert Choir.

Now it is the Madrigals turn to sing.
Carrie receiving her diploma.

Posing for the picture.

Randy's turn. Waiting in line with his friend Megan.
Getting his diploma.
This picture is bright because I took it at exactly the same time as the photographer. So his flash is going off. Couldn't do that in a million years if I was trying.
Finally done!
I do believe he's found us!

Carrie talking to Mr. Wesman.
Do we look like proud parents? Cause we are.
Ahhhhhh.

It was an exciting day for everyone.

More fun and games with Tristan and Ethan

Poor Ethan, it's kind of hard to catch the thing anyway, especially when it is getting dark.

Tristan has this ball game down pat, now he just needs someone to play it with.

Huey's content to just sit and watch!

I think it might be time to go in.

Bob's shadow, Huey followed him all over the yard.

Our quiet abode.

Hey it has been real quiet around here for a couple of weeks. Carrie and Randy are in Lansdowne with Marcy and it's amazing how quiet that makes the house. Bob has also worked that last 3 days in a row and will probably work tomorrow. He then has friday off and then works Sat. Sun. and Mon. I am not real sure how to handle being all alone in our house. I kind of bounce off of the walls and play a lot of hidden treasure games. Kim even went to visit Marcy for a while so we had Tristan and Ethan for a couple of nights while she was gone. I thought I would post some of Tristan and Ethan's pictures, seeing as that is about all that I take pictures of lately.
