It has been quite a week here. On Monday the drain in the basement backed up and we ended up with water in the newly finished basement!! Fortunately, it only affected a section in front of the utility closet. We had a plumber here at 10:00 Monday night and he was able to clear the pipe. Our friend Matt came over and helped Tim pull up the carpet and with the help of his giant industrial fan we were able to get everything dried out. Someone is coming out next week to replace the pad and relay the carpet. Oh fun!
On Thursday we had the two giant pine trees in the front taken down. The roots from those trees are to blame for the backup of the drain! We had already had scheduled the trees to come down but it couldn't have come at a better time! The yard looks so bare but so much better. You can actually see the house now!
It started raining on Thursday which was followed yesterday by a morning of light snow and then crazy heavy snow in the afternoon and evening. It is still snowing out there.....ugh. We have at least a foot of very heavy, wet snow. The trees everywhere are just about hanging to the ground. Tim and I were able to get out for our date night last night. Matt and Karina had offered to watch all four kids so that Tim and I could go out to dinner for my b-day. The dining room of the restaurant was closed but we were able to eat in the bar. It actually was really nice because there weren't many people there! Hopefully it stops snowing soon! At least we know that it is going to warm up quick this week with temps near 80 by Thursday- that's Colorado for you!
The pine tree is bent so far that it is touching the hot tub!
Here are a few cute pics of Hailey. She is wearing a dress that my Aunt Marcia gave to me when I was born. It is really cool to see my little girl wearing it too!
