Hanging Out

When my mom and dad got home from Reno, they wanted to take on a few more house projects, so we gladly gave them a list! I finished up my last day of school for the summer (everything went great), and then we all had the rest of the week to hang out and work on the house. I don't have any pics of my dad, but he graciously worked on our yard all weekend. He fertilized and sprayed for weeds and bugs. Unfortunately, the people before us did not take care of the yard, so we have a long road ahead of us getting that to look good. Thanks dad for helping us! Mom helped me paint and then took on the worst project, taking the wall paper off!!! See below.....

The previous owners didn't put primer beneath the wallpaper (just put it on the drywall), so it was extremely difficult to get off. After 3 days of work, it's all off but now the wall has to be completely re-mudded and texturized.... however.... it already looks better!
We painted our last room on the first floor... the laundry room... Izzie helped too!
When she wasn't painting, she was babysitting Miloh (taking him for a drive)
