Another house bites the dust! And now we are getting their kids!

We took off this last Tuesday to take an afternoon off and hang out downtown. Something we hadn't done for quite a while. So we parked at Lloyd Center and took the MAX downtown.

Esthers doing her "side-stare" being very patient for us to leave.




In the Ross downtown. It was a great day!

So this is how I would love to re-model the shanty... the three rooms on the right are (closest) the kitchen, then the sound room, then a bathroom (farthest).

The room back in the back is storage...for drums, musical instruments etc. This would be sooo sweet. Someday...someday! (this program is cool as well!)

This is a great Google program called "Sketch Up". It is like a free CAD program, and you can upload your buildings to Google Earth. This building is the house/shanty behind my house. I am making it as it stands now. Then I am going to create it re-modeled as I would like to see it as the Youth building... we'll see! Great program though, you build the foundation...the 2x4's and put them all together...great fun!

This is the house of the Aase. Alex one of their kids is in the youth group. The picture below is Alex's grandparents house...hmm...wonder who hired the gnomes to get this house!? I had lots of help on this one, Martin, Edith, Loura and Natasha...good times had by all!

My first daytime "gnoming" I knew when they were gone to pick up the kids for school...so that is when I struck. The neighbors pulled in when I was placing the gnomes...I just acted like I was supposed to be there and said "hi"...fun times!

Our second Victims house...this was was a toughy... the lights were on and we heard someone in the window where we assume was the kitchen. Also they had dogs and a motion detecting light!

Edith and Martin (youth) and I went out on the maiden voyage of the "gnoming" fund-raiser for the Youth Group. For those of you who do not know "gnoming" is when a person pays us to take 30 gnomes and secretly put them on the front porch of an unsuspecting victim. Then once the person discovers their gnomes they then call and pay us a "removal fee" to take the gnomes away...it is good fun and hopefully will help us to raise some money!


Setting up at the first victims house...the Jones'!


Looks nice huh...I think we need more!

As you can see it is obviously going to be another girl, specifically a little Gracie Ann(e).



The doctor said that the placenta has moved out of the way (up) and everything is looking okay with her, as well as Amy. So we should be good to go. A funny note is that when they measured the babies head it said that she was 39 weeks along, but when they measured the rest of the body it said 34 weeks...must be a Freeman!

I'm trying to relate back to my pre-teen years of big teeth.


Me and Bubba's goat "Snoofy"...if you scare him he will faint...I havn't done it yet.
