The Nolden Family

Our big trip for the year was a road trip to from Georgia to Monticello, Utah, to visit my family. We went through 10 states to get there and it took us three days of hard driving. For those of you unfamiliar with Monticello…it is in the far Southeastern corner of Utah…50 miles south of [...]

CANYONLANDS VISIT (The Falls)… We took a day trip down into Canyonlands. We were so excited to go to “The Falls”…a popular hangout place for locals. At “The Falls,” a river cascades down several small sandstone cliffs and makes several small pools for swimming in. Well…we got there and discovered that the “river” was not [...]

Horses and Four-Wheelers… One of the things the kids like most about Monticello is riding horses…something we don’t get to do anywhere else. Luckily, they have a cowboy for a Grandpa. Also, there are great places to go four-wheeling. We haven’t found any good places in Georgia…if anyone knows of a good place to go…please [...]

Those of you from Desert Sage Ward (Vegas) will recognize the Lambert family! They had a family event in Alabama and made the drive over to Georgia to see us. We were so excited to see them…they have THE cutest kids! Above: Holly & Michael. Above: Liz playing with Kylan. Above: Liz playing with Aiden. [...]

Early June was mostly spent waiting for our road trip to Utah. But there were a few “exciting moments” before then… Above: Poor Lizzie Poo!!! Liz had to have her wisdom teeth extracted in early June. She had a few rough days…but overall did quite well. Here she has just gotten home from surgery and [...]

We decided to get our bathrooms retiled…with a little bit of remodeling too. We also had the tile redone in our front entry way. The men that were doing the tile in the entry way discovered that we had a lot of water damage and a colony of hungry termites. That’s a whole other story [...]

So, we had to get our whole front door replaced…and we are talking the door, sidelights, and the half-circle transom over the top. Oh, yeah, part of the wall too. Unfortunately, the house we bought last year had a serious water leak into the wall by the front door (the roof had been done incorrectly [...]
