Work in Arizona

This past week we traveled to Arizona to be with Cam while Manda and Brendon took a much needed vacation to Mexico.  Cam had school, and we hung out at Manda and found a bunch of stuff to do. 

Yard work/minor fix-ups were on the list. 

We weeded, and trimmed...............

This girl was right there to help and entertain us (when she wasn't at school)

We removed this HUGE Aloe plant that was crowding the tree.
WOW, what a job ! 

Cleaned out the yard shed............

Rebuilt the block wall

This was ONE of many trips to Home Depot and Lowes

Nick laid around being lazy..........he is getting old. 

After we rebuilt the roof, Cam painted the boards

Fixed some outlets that were broken

And toilet paper holders

And Cam's fan/light in her bedroom

Fixed the sunscreen on the sliding door

It's coming along..............see the double high blocks? 

New roof 

Sustenance !!!   Cam is quite the baker

and good Chili maker !!
She was chief cook and bottle washer :) 

Relaxing after a hard day at work
She gets a pretty big kick out of her Grandpa 

Then on to Sprinkler System repair.
Look at all the different types of sprinkler heads that were in the back lawn.
No two were the same - too funny !!

The new sprinkler timer box just about kicked Roger's butt..........
Can we just say.......3rd time is a CHARM :)

Sasso came over and hung out one day, and he and Cam made cookies!!
They were YUMMY 

Of course one night we had Grandpa Roger's famous Macaroni and Tomato juice (used one of the precious JARS of juice that we had brought down from Morgan) 

Some of the in ground pipes were split, so we fixed and re-buried them. 

Cam was a great helper

We even discovered stepping stones that we didn't even know were there !

We didn't get to the big log pile like we wanted to......... A log splitter and more time was needed.  We'll have to make this a priority the next time we are down. 

New bark in the "beds"
Dang edging brick.........I didn't get it fixed like I wanted to.  Forgot :(

This is where Manda anad Bren spent their few days of vacation
Rocky Point on the Baja

You didn't know Luigi (or is it Mario) came to help :)

And a good time was had by all...........
Actually this picture was taken BEFORE all the work
We were sure tired afterwards...........we aren't getting any younger, that's for sure.
