What To Do With Our Saturday.....

Sooo...what should you do when it is so unseasonably warm outside?
Why not take a ride in a school bus with two cranky children?
To see an Extreme Home Makeover house being built in Middleton, Idaho?! That's right my friends...we drove 30 minutes and took a 15 minute bus ride on an un-airconditioned bus to a dirt field to watch someone build a house. But not just any house....Ty Pennington's custom built creation!
Oh yes, it is a beautiful day in this neighborhood...



Look at all those dedicated volunteers sweating it out in the sweltering heat. What perserverance, what stamina....but, where may you ask, is Ty?
Is he perhaps sweating it out while hanging drywall? No, alas...they told us that he is canoeing on the Snake River while everyone else does all the dirty work. But don't worry, he'll be back in time to take all the credit on Wednesday at the big reveal. Wow, can you believe we spent twenty minutes in the heat watching this? Neither can we!

What are you saying about our house, Dan? Are you saying it is so bad that we need an Extreme Makeover?

That's so cool! I can't believe they're building a house near you... how did you hear about that?

oops, sounded bad hugh...but then I guess anyone would like an extreme makeover. they can come to my house any day. i'd like one of those new kitchens with a double oven, double refrigerator, double sinks, and huge flat panels in all the rooms.

I'll bet it was fun to see. Too bad you missed Ty

Then again maybe not

The bus ride sounds miserable. But hey, that's a cool story.

Fun! They did one of those makeovers up the street from us here in Bountiful...we never bothered to stop by...we're spoil sports!
I just didn't want to fight the crowds, especially with the kids. They did it just after Ali was born, so it's been a couple years now.
Your kids are getting so big! I love the pics...it's a nice way to stay in touch.
I can't believe Marcus is already back from his mission! I remember talking to you on the phone while you were here visiting just before he left...time flies!
Keep in touch!
