Don't Worry Be Happy

Just a silly video showing off our amazingly awesome family talents of singing and dancing.  Don't be jealous, be happy!  Then we all piled on Jarin since he was being such a party pooper.

The Piano Room

The beginning of every year I always get an itch to redo, improve, and make things fresh.  This year I tackled the piano room.  I started ripping the chair rail off the wall and pulling the floor boards up.  Cam and I put up boards and a shelf to give our room a new look.  That led us to give the entire upstairs a fresh coat of paint (same color).  I then painted ALL the trim upstairs white, repainted the island and computer desk black, painted the banister and railing black, and bought new/used stools and painted them black.  Whew!  I love the new look!  Disclaimer:  it took a couple of months to complete it all.

New Year

Traditionally we spend the New Year sledding at one of our favorite hills.  This year the hill was dry with only a smashed road construction barrow that we think someone tried to slide down the hill with and failed.   It only snowed a handful of times and didn't last more than a day or two all winter.  Instead of sitting around on this nice warm day, the kids got on their bikes and went door to door selling car washes.  We spent the afternoon washing winter dirt off cars and making a little bit of money.  Our neighbor and friend Ro came and was thrilled to see that her car, Carlton, was white again.  It was a good day.
