Why does it seem that every long weekend turns out to be super busy and crazy. Maybe it is just me. On Friday we decided to head down to Utah to spend some time with Matt's family. We got the wood floor done in our addition and we had to be out of the house for several days for them to finish it. So we packed up and headed out.
On Saturday we went down to Leamington, Utah, where Matt's dad was raised. He gave us the grand tour of where he grew up and the farm. It was fun to see it all. Matt always talks about it, so it was fun to experience. The kids had a fun time being with cousins as well.
This picture was taken in front of the first home that Matt's grandparents built when they moved to Leamington.
Sunday we went to church with Matt's mom and dad and then we went down to his brother Darren's house for dinner and almost all of the family was there. It was fun to visit and see everyone. We don't get to see everybody very often so that was fun.
On Monday on our way home we stopped in Ogden and took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum. The kids loved it and it was fun to hang out together all day. We were supposed to be able to get back into our house when we got into town on Monday, but they weren't quite done with the floor, so we stayed the night at my mom and dad's.
Tuesday when I finally got home, I had to unpack and clean up from the mess that was in my house. It was all worth it though because I absolutely love the floor and the new addition is so open and big. I am so glad we are almost done. Finish up the electrical, put trim on and get my new table delivered.

and After.............
My Grandma Hill passed away on Friday morning, so on Tuesday night, we had her viewing and then her funeral was yesterday. She was such a neat lady and I am really going to miss her. She was ready to go, so in a way it is a good thing. She was 88 years old and I can only hope that I live as long as her.
Today I started canning. I have done 7 quarts of fruit cocktail, 7 quarts of pears and 7 pints of pears. The rest of my fruit should be ready tomorrow, so hopefully I can finish it all up by Saturday. It is sure a lot of work to do, but so worth it when you see the finished product on the shelves.

I love the dining room, the floor is gorgeous. I am so done with canning, it really is a lot of work but worth it. I am glad to have it done and I am wimping out and not doing pears, too tired and out of jars. I hope you get to relax next week from your busy week.
sorry to hear about your grandma. I remember going to her house a couple of times.
Your floor looks great.
