Monday chores

Monday mornings are strip the beds day. It's always better to make chores fun by "riding" the sheets down the stairs. It's a soft landing too.

Elliot makes a cape

I made a red cape for Elliot.
Sam, Elliot's friend has enjoyed playing with it too. Elliot decided to buy fabric with his own money, to make one for Sam. With a little help from mom and using Hunter's sewing machine the cape looks great. The honest Abe hat completes the project.

Touring USS Midway

Alex & I toured the USS Midway, a retired aircraft carrier. Alex experienced two, six month deployments while in the Navy. He told me a lot about living on these impressive floating cities. Our tour lasted over two hours. These ships are huge. Go Navy! God bless our military.

Hunter's room makeover

For her thirteenth birthday coming up, February 21st, Hunter wanted her room redone. She chose the colors, paint and rug. Hunter & Kathy painted and Alex finished up the details. He also pulled up the carpet, not an easy job. Underneath were beautiful hard wood floors. Excellent.

Breath-taking Pacific sunset

The pictures don't do the splendid sunset justice. Absolutely fantastic and awe inspiring. Loved it!

Sunny California

It's -10 degrees in Omaha, while were in San Diego wearing flip flops and sunglasses. A bike tour of the island gives a glimpse of the beauty and history of Coronado.

San Diego anniversary trip

Alex knew long ago in BUDS training he wanted to bring his wife to the Hotel Del in Coronado, California. He is driven and a romantic, here we are together for ten years and celebrating at the Del. Beautiful! Life is so sweet.
