guess what here is a new post

so i guess everyone keeps getting mad at me for not making a new post so here we go

happy late christmas our christmas was quiet, we stayed home.

our life latley has been consumed by our house. the kitchen and tile are almost done. we were happy to get our carpet right before christmas. dad and i were taking out carpet and destroyed the closet door. we fixed it as best as we could, with dad's new toy a nailgun. we lived on cement and tile till right before christmas it was nice. the carpet feels really nice now no one wants to sit on the couch they want to lay or sit on the carpet.

the best part so far has been when me and conner played with fire. just kidding we were trying to relite a fire. i put lighter fluid in it and the fumes reacted nicly. FOOSH!!!!! me and conner got burnt. i got the worst of it becasue i was right in front of the fire place. it got my hands, my face, and my hair. the fire got conner on his hair, side of his face, eyebrows and eyelashes. don't worry we are ok but neihter of us has eyelashes.

so have a nice 2009 everybody.

The Flood Came Forth

Hello all,

If you read this you are probably dying because I am just writing this. Right now I am sitting in my office and it is real quite and peaceful no one is in right now I have watch the sun come up made the phone call to get Conner out of bed and get him going. I tell ya every kid is different but you love them all the same. I have read all the blogs this morning and enjoyed everybodys Mike I am impressed that you did the Grand at 50 I hope I can do something like that when I hit that age. Some days I don't if our family is going to make it. Saturday night Krisit and I went into walmart about 9:00PM we told the kids to hit the sack at 9:30 (they were up till1:00am the night before) We got home at 10:00PM when we opened the front door it felt like a Suana in our home I looked straight back and saw our back door open we took about 10 steps and hit soggy carpet made into the kitchen and saw probably about 1 to 2 inches of water in our kitchen. Kristi made around our hall way and into the laundry room and found cold water. I was standing in bath water. We found the noise and the leak but it was behind the dish washer in the end I ended up near our tankless hot water heater and shutting down the valve to the heater. At this point we realized that we lost our kitchen floor the carpet into the living room, family room and one hallway. We got everybody up expect for maddison and got to work we ended up going to bed at 2am. Spent Sunday morning pulling pad and peeling back carpet it got worse and the day rolled on. By noon I was at some meetings and Kristi called she stated that we lost Maddison room. That night we pulled furniture kitchen stuff beds everything that we thought we could go without and put in a garage that someone offered to us. We have been blessed through the whole ordeal, we get new carpet, people from the ward just came up and offered there help in pulling anything and everything. We have pictures and will post them soon people have helped Kristi put back together the house, right now we have cut carpet kitchen floor gone base boards gone part of cabinets gone the list could go on. Needless to say everything will be okay last night was the first night that we didn't have fans going it was peaceful. If you want to see a tore up house make your way to New Mexico (I am speaking to you JEN!!!!!!!)
Talk to you all soon!

Heritage

Well the month of June just flew bye. People kept telling me that I needed to post something new. So here it is!!! Just this past week we went over to Prescott and baptized Maddison it was a wonderful experience. Thanks to Craig and Cathie and to Brent and Vickie for there letting us come over and to participate with June in the Baptism.
It was very interesting we ended up in snowflake about 3:00am Micky mouse time (as dad would say) so the next morning dad and mom were having a breakfast for Uncle Jim 80th birthday. At that point I realized just what was taking place I remember grandpa Caldwell in his 80's. At that point I remember what I was told by a stake president "You can never take back that minute that just passed you cannot relive this day. So live it to the fullest" As we get older it gets interesting on how fast life goes by. Spencer asked me a question while we were driving out to Cathie house for lunch. He wanted to know how many of us were born in Missouri I had to think and I was one off (Sorry Susan) but it brought back a flood of memories I still can remember when we moved from Missouri, I remember the blue house at the end of the street. I do not remember the accident that we had in moving out to AZ and the way mom tried to hide us from the News Crew. Stuff like this is interesting to hear. I guess History is interesting. The other day Kristi was going through the scrape books it was fun to see exactly what happened in our lives.
So I guess the morale of this writing is this enjoy life to the fullest and remember the sacrifice of our ancestors to give us what we have today. Because you never know when a PIG TRUCK WILL SMACK YOU. HA HA HA
I will write later Gotta Go there is a call someone just did get smacked

SEE YA
