New family room furniture

I loved my old couches and they lasted longer than I thought they would, but they were becoming thread bare in some places. We have been looking for a long time but could never agree. Notice no coffee table, that's because we got a wii and Les felt it was in the way and we no longer needed one.

This is the first thing we have agreed upon so I felt we should make the move before one of us changed our minds. It's kind of a Chanille material, so it should last long and clean easy.

I know it's a lot of red in here, but I needed something cheery, may use other accents later.

They're really comfortable, and Salsa just noticed she was not in the picture. Sorry Salsa, too late!

Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine

Lindsay's in town and we decided to try a different resturaunt. This was great! The pictures don't do it justice. The whole atmosphere was that of a sleezy trailer park, complete with pink falmingo's

This was just one of the tables in a 36 Chevy

There were old couches everywhere, most of the booths were divided by plastic shower curtains.

The chairs were old bus seats on wheels.

The outside patio was just a bunch of old couches and chairs. It was really fun and the food was good too.

Les's Family reunion at Twisp Washington

Les's brothers and sisters get together in Twisp Washington at his brother Chip's home every year. His sister Mary Jean passed away last year, so there is just the 5 of them left. I felt bad I couldn't go, but needed to be with mom. Chip's son Hank owns most of the businesses in Twisp. This is his deli.

This is the family: Ted, the youngest on the left, Vivian, Chip the oldest at 81, Fran and Les is 2nd youngest and Chip's dog Blue.

Les at the Barbecue

This is Hanks, chip's sons, cabin just outside of Twisp. It's a beautiful setting

This is part of the grounds around Hank's cabin. Pretty nice hu?

Before new kitchen floor

We bought new flooring, and this is what the floor looked like before.

I loved my new counter tops, but then the floor looked bad.

Randy said he would come put the new flooring in for us.

After new kitchen flooring

Randy came down to put in our new flooring. He did a great job as usual, and was done in less than a day. Whitnie, the kids and I went shopping to stay out of their way. Tough sacrifice.

It turned out beautiful. What a difference!

Just a closer look.

I just love it!

In the Hatch Garden

We have a tradition of getting grandkids hand prints on a framed canvas. We do footprints if they are babies. We ran out of room on the two we have since we are soon to be grandparents of 24. This is Gunner.

This is Stacey's baby Wade, He's about 6 months and twice as big as Gunner.

This is Josh and Roxy's Meadow. We put the name and date by each print.
The pictures say: In the Hatch garden Special flowers Bloom ( the next pictures say:) and bloom and bloom. It's a fun tradition. We're sending it home with Molly for her baby due in Oct. then I'll bring it home and frame it.

Gunner's baby blessing

This is Gunner, Josh's youngest. He is finally getting a little weight on him. He's almost 4 months, but when he was in Idaho he was only about 8 lbs and since he was 3 weeks early, still looked like a new born.

He didn 't lack for attention when we were there. I'm sure with so 3 brothers and 2 sisters he never lacks for attention. This is Molly's Ashlyn by him.

We asked if Josh could bless the baby while we were in California. Murpheys law, it was their stake conference, so it ended up taking place at Josh's home. Left to right is Josh holding Gunner, Proud Grandpa Les, the bishop, and Stacey's husband Adam. Can you tell by the heighth, Adam is not a Hatch? The Bishop would fit right in.

Stacey's the real photographer! Roxy trying to get him to smile. The just moved into this house the day before. I couldn't believe she had most rooms so put together already and pictures up on the wall. There's a few boxes left in the bedrooms.
