Dan's sanding skills came in really handy while remodeling our new home.

Audrey has been watching her dad and is catching on pretty quick!

Dad took Audrey to Grandma Petersen's to help put up her greenhouse she got for her birthday.

Fun with cousin Ali and getting spoiled by Grandma!

Our New Home!

(a.k.a. our 'Fixer Uper')

So I have had a bunch of people tell me that I need to update our blogg with our new house so here it comes. Keep in mind that these are before pictures and it is a work in progress. I will post after pictures as they come.

Our new home is on 100W in Tooele. It was built in 1915 and needs quiet a bit of work but thanks to my Dad and the work of others we'll get it looking good.

I'll show the best part first, the Kitchen. This was remodled about 5 years ago and is in pretty good condition.

Here's the tiny bathroom where as my sister says "you can sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time!"

This is a picture of the hardwood floors in what will be the living room and office. Dan will be refinishing them.

This is the scary looking back room that will be a storage and laundry room.

"Our Dungeon" the basement is pretty scary but will be nice for storage.

This is an example of the fix ups that needed to be done. If you look closley you can see that this is a fist hole in our wall. See the outline?

An example of a bedroom. We ripped out all of the carpet and are texturing and painting all the walls.

Hard at work of course!

My Dad telling everyone what to do next!





Audrey so dutifully mixing paint. We took a chance and bought some mess up paint and mixed our own color. Thanks to my mom and her eye for color it turned out great.








One of our first major projects was taking down some ugly trees in the yard. The previous owners had done a horrible wack job so we had to take them all the way down. They were probably about 60-70 years old.


Unfortunatly I don't have a good before picture but this is the front of the house after we took down the trees. It looks a lot better.


Paint, paint, and more paint. It's comming along!

A Few Updated Pics

It's been a while so here's a few pics. I will be updating again shortly.

Audrey is growing up more and more everyday. The pic above is one of my favorites. What a cute cowgirl.



Play, play, play that's what Audrey is all about. Wether it's driving Grandpa's lawn mower or making up her own crayon game she keeps on going.

Coloring is also another favorite of Audrey's especially on the white board.

Oh yes and wearing funny hats is also fun.Look at the beautiful little girl with pig tails! Her hair is getting so long.

Dan & Dave got together with Uncle Mark and did a professional recording of Yodeling Santa Claus. They had a great time getting together and were very happy with the recording.

Mark plans on getting the brothers together soon to do a recording of their vocals as well. We appreciate Marks help and we were thrilled to make this a Petersen family project.
