Samantha and Alix decorated the christmas tree. It actually looked really pretty from outside as well as inside.

2009-01-02T18:53:00.001-08:00

Ok...so don't fall over dead that I am posting something after several months...and it wont even be that great. Christmas was great...missed Kannon but enjoyed having everyone home.

2008-08-20T22:07:00.000-07:00

Garage side...still need one outside light installed and some SERIOUS yardwork!

2008-08-20T22:06:00.000-07:00

Still need a little work around and on the doors...no door knobs anywhere in the house....and the casings need paint.

2008-08-20T22:05:00.000-07:00

2008-08-20T22:03:00.000-07:00

Living room...still needs the baseboards.....

2008-08-20T21:42:00.001-07:00

This side of the kitchen is FINISHED!!!!!

2008-08-20T21:39:00.000-07:00

Again, almost there...missing the diswasher and the sink is installed, but no faucet or water yet

2008-08-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

Still missing the microwave...but almost there!

2008-07-31T23:44:00.000-07:00

Here is the kitchen...pre cabinets, paint, flooring.

2008-06-13T03:00:00.001-07:00

Ok...so after all this time, this is what the front of the house looks like. I really should post a before and after picture because it looks nothing like what it used to look like! Hopefully soon it will look DONE!

This transformer cost us a measley $2800. It was "necessary" to purchase this before Rocky Mountain Power would be able to move our power from overhead lines to underground lines. Doesn't it look nice?

They have started the framing. It's starting to look like a real house....

Keifer answered his date for Morp. He bought a box of chocolates, covered the box with green felt to look like poker table. He bought a deck of cards and layed a royal flush out on the felt. He wrote "It's in the cards" on the deck of cards and then inside the box "yes" was written on a card.

We returned from spring break to find our cement floors had been poured and then on the Monday following, they started framing. It is moving so quickly and it is very exciting.

One of the days we went to Vegas and visited the Star Trek Museum. I saw a Klingon and he was nice enough to take a photo with me. Kurt had his picture taken with a Borg. Boy, we sure know how to have a good time! We watched the fountains at Belagio, and watched people...mostly just watched all the strange people.

Ok...so that's how far we were on the house when we left for Mesquite and Vegas for spring break...which was really fun!

The most exciting thing happening in my life is the remodel and addition to our home. It is very exciting to monitor the progress and I am learning so much about building. Who knew that so much went into it? Not me!

2008-04-13T22:58:00.000-07:00

Keifer was asked to MORP tonight! It will be his first high school dance. The girl who asked him is really cute. I think I"m more excited than he is! Now we just have to figure out a good way to answer her.

TOWER OF TERROR!!!

2008-03-11T02:19:00.001-07:00

Thought I better add a picture of Kourtney. He is so handsome as a soldier!!!!

2008-03-10T00:14:00.001-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa decided that we should have family pictures on Thanksgiving. With all the kids getting older --Kourtney and Kannon already out of the house and Skyler moving out in January -- it seemed like a good time. Kourtney was in Wyoming and is the only Berge family member missing.

2008-03-06T07:47:00.000-08:00

In January we took a long awaited trip to Disneyland. We had a great time, except the weather! We were rained on every day! In one way it was good...kept the crowds down. In another way it was bad...walking around wet all day.

The entire family - except Samantha - loved Tower of Terror the best. In fact, one day there was no line and Keifer, Alix and I got to ride over and over, without even getting off! Kurt had taken Samantha to a program with Blues Clues characters and so he missed the fun. Samantha didn't like that ride at all. Her favorite rides were Space Mountain and Matterhorn. Which were also family favorites.

It was actually one of the best times I've ever had at Disneyland. Everyone got along great and for the most part we all wanted to ride the same rides.

We also went to Knotts Berry Farm on one day. The rides there are better rides if you like the thrill stuff. It was the worse rain day we had...actually got rained out of the park about two and a half hours before the park was scheduled to close and our bus wasn't coming until park closing. We sat in the rain for far too long that night!!!!!
