Our Latest Projects

So, in one of my earlier blogs I mentioned some projects that Clint and I have been working on. I finally took some pictures so that I could post them. One of the projects that Clint has been working on is remodeling two of my mom's bathrooms. He has finished one and is starting on the next. Here are some pics of the finished bathroom.

Clint did all the work. Everything you see, he did. He and his dad made the concrete countertop and the top around the tub. Clint also took my mom's old cupboards and transformed them into the ones in there now (I didn't get a picture of before, but if any of you saw those cupboards you'd realize that Clint put a lot of work into making them the way they are now). He also did all the trim work, including around the mirror. I thought he did a great job.

Now Clint gets to do the other bathroom. He has also been building Corgin some bunk beds, so when he gets done with those I will post more pics. Have I mentioned that I love having a handy man around.

Now onto my project. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and was excited to try it out, so I took on the project of making me a church/diaper bag with a matching changing pad. I had fun and learned a lot about sewing. Here is my finished bag and changing pad.

I too am working on another project as well. I am making my blog into a book. It is something I've wanted to do for a little while, but kept putting it off. I think I will try to do it about every two years now and I'm about halfway done with the first book. Fun stuff.

Now don't think that working on these projects is all we do. We still find time to have some fun and go do other things. Clint went steelhead fishing earlier this week. He went with my dad and one of his friends. Clint was the only one who brought home a fish. Corgin was excited to see his fish too. Here is the happy fisherman.

And if any of you were wondering, Corgin is doing well and his arm is almost better. Here are some pictures of him last night. His arm is still a little red, but I don't even think it will leave a scar. We are so blessed!

While on the subject of this little guy, I have just a few stories of him.

The other night I put him to bed and went into the other room. I sneezed and then I heard this sweet little voice, "Bless you, Mommy." I had to smile.

Also, I love it when I come home from work and he is always so excited. He yells, "Mommy's home, Mommy's home!"

He also tells the funniest things that we don't know where he gets them. He told us the other day that he is a "little person" when we asked him if he was a big boy. Clint was trying to get him in his carseat the other day and told him that if he didn't get in his carseat he would have to walk home. Corgin replied with "walk home, please" (he also sometimes says "spankin, please" he is very polite) so Clint asked him if he even knew where to go and Corgin said, "Inkom" (where we are living currently). Some days he just surprises us.

My favorite moment this week, though would have to be when I came home from work and was sharing a bowl of ice cream with him. He looked at me and then gave me the biggest kiss and hug. I love it when I don't have to ask for them. I sure love this boy!
