Al Gore Invented Global Warming

That's all- Al Gore Invented Global Warming

I was listening to the news and that thought came into my head. I thought it was funny, so I thought I'd share.
The newscaster said that he was on Capitol Hill today trying to get money for his cause... and there was a freak ice storm. Ironic isn't it.
After I thought about it, I started seeing other sides to it. Now it seems a little "Sarah Palin" to say that Al Gore invented global warming. It's still funny because you know how they say Al Gore invented the Internet and his big deal now is global warming... Never mind; if I have to explain it, you wouldn't get it anyway.

Winter Stuff

Let's see- We had Thanksgiving. That was great. All the local family came over, had a big time, and ate a lot.


And C and J ate, but not as much as we put on their plates- typical little boys. That's C's Indian vest he made for a school project.


And then that night we decorated for Christmas




And a few days later, Dad came over and visited for a few days. It was really good to see him.




And he brought the Deathmobile with him...


Then we survived until now. More updates later-

Moving Day

Here are some pictures of a couple of the rooms that we have almost together. There is still a lot of work to be done, but it's coming along.

Eez an Artiste!

Somewhere along the way, Caleb got ahold of the camera. Here are some of his pictures.

Come from AL with a Banjo on my Knee- Going to KY My Family for to See

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to Kentucky. We had a great time- Can't wait to go back and see everyone again.


Quick- Throw him overboard


Southside KY gangsta style- Bustin' some caps


...And you'll never guess who we are!


You hold 'im Bugsy, I'll stick 'im in the gut...

Long Time, No Sea

Isn't that what a landlocked pirate says...?
Anyway, what you came here for. Lots of stuff has been happening with the house. Friday night, all day Saturday, Sunday after church, and all day Monday I spent laying the hardwood floor. Mel helped with most of it as well. She now knows how to operate a chop saw and a pneumatic nailer! It is all finished except for the last three rows in a couple of rooms that I have to hand nail.
The fridge and freezer are in the kitchen- and working.
John hired a carpenter to finish the stairs outside.
The final CO inspection is Wednesday. The bank is inspecting Thursday. And we are supposed to go finalize the mortgage on Friday.
Then we go to Kentucky to visit and when we get back, we move in... YEAH!
Anyway, some pictures:


Hey, we could have a dance!


Awesome transition from living room to kitchen


Front of the house... with grass

To All My Fans...

We got all of the lights installed with the exception of the dining room chandelier, which we are waiting until everything else is done in there so it won't accidentally get messed up. We have installed the kitchen stove and the garage door was installed today. The great room fan was fun to put up. It's about 17 feet from the floor, and weighs about 40 pounds. Lugging it up the ladder in one hand was quite the challenge. But it's up, and after some minor electrical issues, it runs!


The massive propeller- Lift your eyes and be amazed


The fan in our bedroom


The fan in the guest room- Come visit, and this is where you'll get to stay


The cool fan in the boy's bedroom


Stove- ready to be slid into place


The front of the house- Newly installed garage door and some fill dirt here and there that will eventually make up the yard
