Dillon and Lucy Photo Shoot

Lindsey refinished the chair and then just took these shots outside in her backyard. They are all so cute; I can't choose a favorite! 

Memorial Weekend in Phoenix

For Memorial weekend we went to Phoenix to help Carlton and Lindsey move into their house and remodel their kitchen. We got a condo for the week in Scottsdale. It had a nice pool but we only got to go there once. Danielle and Steve came down for the 3 day weekend. We enjoyed a nice Sunday picnic and they worked a lot of time on the house.

It is so great to be all together and within driving distance! I left the day after Millcreek's graduation. It has been a stressful year and I was ready for a get away. I had Lindsey's kids and drove down to Danielle's and then we all rode together in their van to Phoenix. The kids had flown home with Terri and family while Carlton and Lindsey drove across the country and did 5 high points. Terri drove down on Thursday with the kids and I met her in Beaver. 

Dillon and Bennett. Cute cousins.

 This is the community pool that is right behind Lindsey's house. We went swimming a few times. Alexa was learning how to dive. Lindsey and family will enjoy a pool while they are living in Phoenix.

Dan stayed an extra day to finish some work on Lindsey's house. Dawson and I drove home a bus that Art and Apryl had us buy and bring back to them. It was a hot day and we had a few issues, but we made it to Las Vegas and spent the night. It was about 10:00 and we were tired. My car was there since I rode down there with Danielle and Steve. We drove home on Sunday morning I was able to make it to RS.

Phoenix Kitchen Remodel

Carlton and Lindsey decided to have us help them remodel the kitchen in their first home. We spent a week working from 7:00 am to 9 or 10:00 pm every day to accomplish the task. 

They chose kitchen cabinets from IKEA that all had to be assembled by hand. They turned out really nice despite all of the labor that was involved. 

Carlton was in charge of the cabinet construction. He and Dawson did most of the wood laminate floor.

I was in charge of keeping an eye on the kiddos. I had the best job! 

Lindsey was the head painter.

Dillon loved helping and wanted to measure everything with the tape measure! 

I tried to keep the kids happy and entertained

and fed.

Big helpers! 

Carlton and Lindsey worked so hard and are happy with the end result. Carlton stayed up all night assembling the cabinets so we could get them in before we left! It wasn't the vacation that I had imagined, but it was great to be with them all week. We are so happy that they will be here for four years. Phoenix is a lot closer than Philadelphia! 

Cute Kiddos

Phoenix Arizona-here we come!

 Carlton and Lindsey made an offer on a home in the Phoenix AZ area. Carlton graduates in May and they will be moving to Phoenix where Carlton will be doing a four year residency in Oral Surgery with Banner Good Samaritan hospital. We are so excited that they will be out West.
