Tile

We are going to have tile installed in our downstairs, but don't know anyone who does it. Actually, we know pretty much zero about home improvement. So, do any of you have any tips or know someone who does a good job of tiling?

I think Devon did their tile and his brother in law does it for a living I think. Check with Morgan I am sure she can give you some names and tips!

Doesn't Home Depot have classes for that? You might check into it. It's not hard to lay tile, but it sucks. It's time consuming, your hands dry out from the grout, and if you don't have a tile saw, it's difficult to get the right cuts for the places a full tile won't fit. I'm lucky. I have a do-it-all construction husband and a brother-in-law with all the equipment for laying flooring. I would definitely recommend hiring someone to do it (you can find sub-contractors through Home Depot or Lowes.) Good luck!

Kristine? I am not sure who that is and I would like to talk to your brother but I couldn't access your blog, so if you check this let me know.

We have been doing a lot of swimming, popsicle eating, water playing, anything to keep cool in this awful heat! This $15 pool was the best purchase we have ever made, in my opinion! Spencer loves it because it is just a big bath for him. Some people in our ward "donate" their pools to us hot people. It is great. This is Spencer's first swim. Poor kid. Believe it or not, he did enjoy it. Hailey swam across the pool with her floaties, so she was pretty psyched. About ten seconds after the swimming. He was so pooped!

Spencer getting ready to become a Priest for church. He was pretty happy about it and his new responsibilities. Wlliam always being slightly choked. Blake hung up my organizer I got from Marci Durrant's barn sale We had pasta making night competition. It was so fun to use our new pasta roller. Hailey and Spencer and Blake were a team. Brooke and William and I were a team. We really need to do this again! First time Spencer did temple baptisms where he was the baptizer. He baptized Taitlyn! Woo! Lovely winter sunset Made something new! The boys ate them right up! Lunch with Hailey! Another fun bakery order! That's it for January! Always a bit exhausted after December.

Brooke Eileen Bell was born Aug 24th at 11:11 pm. 7 lbs, 15 oz, 20 inches.....and tons of great black hair!! Heres the story for all you interested people. I had cleaned the house all day and played with the kids. Was about to make dinner around 4 and started to feel a little weird and crampy, but didn't think much about it. Around 5, I was making chocolate chip waffles for dinner and realized the contractions had gone on for an hour and were about 3 minutes apart now. Called Blake and said I might be in labor, but don't worry, it would probably go away. Kept making waffles...called my mom and told her I was probably in labor. Blake got home, left for hospital around 6. We went to the ER and they said go to labor and delivery. Around 630, I was at a 4. Got all set up on IV and by the time epidural came around 830, I was at a 6. Moved to a 10 pretty fast after. Pushed a few times and there she was!! Hooray, no more summer pregnancy.=) We had to stay in the hospital a f...
