The Slab Is Poured!

 

 

Bob decided to hire the pouring/finishing of the slab.  What a great idea!  These guys got the job done fast and well.  All with very little stress for Bob!  That's a good deal!  Here are some of the pictures from the day:

 

 



Tyler and Kristin are married!

 

 

This joyous day was this past Saturday (July 13)!  It was a beautiful wedding!  We are so happy for them and wish them the very best as they start their life together!  They are a great couple and we are so proud of them!  So, here are some pictures of the event:

 

 The Rehearsal



Kristin with her dad and grandpa.

I was so bummed because I didn't have my camera ready at the right time. She had been bawling and it was so sweet, but she had it together by this time.

Here we go!

 Excited Lexi!

 Here comes the beautiful bride!

They had a few worship songs at the beginning of the ceremony for which Tyler played bass

"Have you de wing?"
(Or for those of you who are not Princess Bride fans, "With this ring, I thee wed")

 "You may kiss the bride!"

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Paulson!

WHAT has Carrie done now?????? Hehe!  Just kidding, the photographer was just switching her and Callie.

Bob and his siblings (except Jim, who wasn't able to make it, unfortunately)

Mom and Dad's House

It is time to revive the blog!  Our posts have been very sporadic, but we will now attempt to be more consistent as we tell the story of the building of Mom and Dad's house.  They are currently living in a mobile home on the lot next door to our house (all part of our farm).  My sister Rhonda and her four children moved in with Mom and Dad in April, and her husband joins them during his week off from work in Williston.  My sister Brenda and her family are staying in our camper for the summer since her husband found work here in Minot as well.  Never a dull moment around here!  We are enjoying having all of them here.  We hope to have Mom and Dad in their house by the time the snow flies.  Stay tuned to see the progress!

 

The slab is ready to pour...scheduled for Monday morning.
