College, here we come!

At the beginning of January, Taylor and Austin headed off to BYU Idaho!  Taylor is majoring in Construction Management.  Austin is majoring as an Electrical Engineer.  They will be roommates at school!   I can't believe my kids are growing up so fast!  I am so proud of them.

They are gathering their stuff to load up the car

Susanville Symphony

We went to the Susanville Symphony.  The music was wonderful!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at home this year.  On Thanksgiving day, we cut down our Christmas tree, went to the movies and add a nice Thanksgiving dinner together.  We had a great day!

Rosie is all set to go!

 

This is the tree before we cut it down

 Big tree!  It's about 12 feet tall

New Floors

We were finally able to start updating our floors!  We put in new hardwood floors.  They are so beautiful!

We are trying to paint the house.  It will take us a really, really long time to finish up that project.  The bedroom and office are done.  The hallway is almost done.
