Bathroom Plan


That's a strip of green tile among all the white.

Reno Week 2

Bobbins' Dad doesn't waste any time. I took down everything Zach and I had put up four years ago for Bobbins' laundry room, and the foundation work went along.

Reno Start

We've always talked about a way to add a third bathroom to our house, which would took on more urgency with Christo's birth, especially now with four boys. Bobbins and her dad started making some drawings and came up with a plan to make a new master suite on the east side of the house. We moved the girls out of their bedroom and made that ours, but added a new bathroom off what was their window. We would get rid of the rosary room and make that the new master closet. Bobbins' Dad estimated it would cost $40,000. With all the equity in our house, we re-fi'd and took cash out to pay for it. We couldn't have done it without Bobbins' Dad being our general contractor. He hired concrete guys, framers, a plumber, electrician, roofer, and tile guys. I was the painter.

Below are the shots of the initial start. We had to run a line along the back of the house to connect to the sewer. That square with the new foundation would be the new bathroom.

Best Shots of the 3 Older at Camp Vineyard

We sent the older 3 out to my cousin's in Oklahoma for two weeks. Bobbins called it "Camp Vineyard" and made them shirts. My cousin took them to a number of places but they also did a lot on her large property. I was nervous sending them on the plane by themselves, but they made it there and back just fine. It was a nice reunion when they came home to Phoenix.

2019 School Tournament

Really missed having Sean out there. He's played in the school fundraiser tournament every year. I got our #2 in command from work, Dan, to fill in for Sean. Dan carried us. Kevin also joined us. We didn't light anything up but had a fun time out at Gainey Ranch.

Christo's Baptism

Fr. Bolding did a private baptism at STA for us again. Sure appreciate him. Our carpool parents Arthur and Kerri were Christo's godparents.
