He does know how to do housework!

Erick and Scott Erick worked Saturday and Sunday at the firehouse. We always hear how he vacuums, dusts, mops ect, but never see it at home so we weren't sure it could be true.

When we showed up for our contest all 4 firefighters were scrubbing out the truck bays. Then we were told they had just cleaned the kitchen and if we got it dirty the losers were cleaning the bathrooms. Needless to say the kitchen was left clean!

Subway meal eating contest

I am not sure why we decided to have this contest. Friday at work Kimber and Kristin just decided that we were going to do it and that everyone else was going down!

Kimber trying to be polite.

Shawn you look a little sick?

Justin saying " Your on!"

Silly Kristin

"Hey I can't talk with my mouth full, it's bad manners"

"I am messy but I rock!"

They had to eat the footlong of their choice, a bag of chips and a drink.

Kimber and Kristin tied for last place

Shawn took third, Kyle first and Erick at a close second

Crazy Kids!!!

Kyle, Kurtis and Kimber built a fire in a pit Sunday night.

It was freezing!
They hung out

They even roasted the mini marshmellows on Bbq skewers.

It's never dull with these three around. We love 'em.

Finally a nice day, that means WORK!

Kurtis got elected to play monkey

Kyle, Erick and Kurtis pruning and cleaning up the backyard

I cleaned out the front yard

This is what inspired us to work in the yard

And seeing this makes it all worthwhile.

There is hope Spring is not far off.

Erick's face is naked!!!

Erick had to shave his mustache to have a light treatment to kill any cancerous and precancerous cells on his face and ears. We all think he looks a little weird. It's been a long time since we have seen his upper lip.

MMMM!!! Fresh Coconut from Bountiful Baskets!!!

Is it any good?

Erick cutting it open

Kurtis likes it!!!

Erick drilling holes to get the coconut milk out.

We have had fresh pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and all kinds of vegies that we have never tried before. It has been really fun trying new stuff.

More addition news

Erick wrapped the doorway in pine logs. It looks so good with the entertainment center he built.
He is filling the holes.

OUCH!!!

Kyle trying to be like his dad, took the vise grips to get rid of an Ingrown toe nail.
Three weeks later I got a look at it and took him to the Foot Dr.
He had a fast little toenail removing surgery done and though it still looks gross he says it feels better. He was too shy to let me take a really sick picture of it. So its everybodys lucky day.
