Septic Week

It has been cold and that heated backhoe was the best place to be.

Look................we think the 15,000 lb tank will fit!
Actually........the inspector came today from Amarillo and told the guys they
could do this for a living. She was worried when she heard the homeowner was doing this themselves, but said it was a better job than many of her own contractors she sends out on the job. Good Job Northwest Contracting!!

Roofing Takes A Long Time!


Worley practices being "The Karate Kid" while Dad works on building the chimney and Josh works ever so steady on the shingles.

Banquets and Basketball




Elise's team came from "way" behind to beat the undefeated team in the season's tournament.
Elise scored 12 points in the first game with the score being 10-12. She stole the ball
and made the winning basket with less than 20 seconds to go. These are "intense"
low scoring, high pressure games and are so much fun to watch. I am so happy Dad and Josh could be here to see this and for Mama Pat's faithfulness to attend all of Elise's games.


Both Taylor and Elise have had lots of support from our friends and church family at their games too! We are thankful for these good friends that come watch our children.
Taylor's team lost by 2 points to Amarillo High. We ran to Taylor's game in between Elise's two Championship games. Mom will get to join us this weekend for Taylor's Borger tournament.



Taylor was invited to the volleyball banquet and we wouldn't have been able to dress him very well without Uncle Josh being here. Taylor had grown more than I thought so we had to borrow Uncle Josh's pants and his nice black belt.




Winter and Wisdom Teeth

Didn't quite get the garage roof on before the first snow!
The complicated roof line is almost done. Worley
has spent the last week finishing this side while Dad and Josh have moved
on to the garage.


Josh trying something cold after having his widsom teeth out today.
He has been doing good, but often has been questioning if the
Dr. really took out all 4 (That's what happens when you lose your "wisdom" teeth! ha
Dad, Elise and I have all enjoyed taking care of him today.
