Mark is Coming!

I couldn't find a individual picture of Mark so this will have to do, Mark is the one on the end on the right. Mark is flying in from St Louis to visit us next week. We are so excited! He will be here from Friday till Wednesday. We Plan on going to the Gulf of Mexico Monday and Tuesday. We are going to have so much fun.

I Do it!

On Monday morning Luke asked for a Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich for breakfast which was better then the cookie he was asking for previously, so I said okay. As I started to pull everything out, Luke was pulling a chair in from our dining room so he could help me. Luke is really good about helping and lately he has gotten in to this faze were he wants to do ever thing himself, he'll say I do it.

A week long saga

Yes you are looking at what you think you are looking at, that is our ceiling. A week ago on Friday afternoon I sat down to watch a movie and heard this plunk, plunk noise. I got up to find where the noise was coming from. I went into the hall way and looked up and this is what I saw, Well it wasn't this bad. There was only about an inch crack in the ceiling and it was dripping water from three different spots. I thought to my self, oh man the maintenance man just left, he was here to fix another problem. I called the management office at about one, I explained to them the problem and they said they would put in a work order and someone would came look at it. When Alan got home at about 4:30 or 5 no one had come yet, so he called. No one came that day or Saturday and they have Sundays off. The pictures are what we saw on Monday, the crack had grown to a foot long, the water was now dripping from different places and the ceiling was now bowing from obvious water damage. I called again and tried to explain that this wasn't a simple work order that some one needed to come today, she said she would see what she could do. No one came that day or on Tuesday. So on Wednesday I decided to address them in person I walked up to the office at about 10:00. I told one of the Ladies the problem, she said really, I am so sorry about that, the maintenance men have been behind on work and their first priorities have been to fix the Ac's, but she will differently have some one come look at our problem that day. About 5 minutes after I got back some one did come by. He checked the ceiling, said it was coming from the apartment above us and he went up to go see what the problem was. The people above us had moved out about 2 weeks ago and apparently the water hook ups for the washer had been left on. The floor in that apartment had soaked up as much water as it could and then our ceiling started taking the damage. He turned the water off and said he would send some one out fix the ceiling. no one has been out yet, but at least there is no more water dripping.

Our dancing Luke

Here are some cute videos of Luke dancing to High school Musical 2. Luke is our music boy, he loves dancing and singing. He will some times pretend he has a radio and will turn it on and make us sing for him so he can dance.

Wii Surgery

We bought a Wii a while back when we were still in Rexburg. We had alot of fun with it until just about a month before we left Rexburg Luke figured our how to put things through the opening were the games go. He put a quarter and a business card through the opening. Alan was able to get the quarter out, but not the business card, for that he would need a three winged screwdriver that he would need to buy off of the Internet. Since Alan was busy trying to graduate he decided to wait till we got to Texas. Last week he bought the screwdriver off of eBay and this past Sunday he began Wii surgery.

And the findings were? There was the business card, blocking access to the laser that reads the games. Alan took the business card out, put the Wii back together and the verdict?

A Wii that works as good as new, as far as we can tell.
