Stucco -

On Saturday, we (Abby, Caleb, Phoebe, Jaden and I and two of our cousins) had the opportunity to help some of our dear friends stucco part of their "guest-house". We had so much fun! Below are some photos. Enjoy!

The cutest little boys on earth: Stephen (4) and Jaden (7). They are playing with Play Mobile in this photo.

This is what the inside of the guest-house looks like now. We helped with the inside back in May. Here is another link to photos from May.

Beth and I work on the second coat towards the end of the day 

Phoebe and Caleb-- don't ask me what they were doing-- I have no clue!

Benjamin mixes yet ANOTHER batch of stucco-- I am telling you, we sure kept those boys on their feet!!

This is most everyone who worked

Stephen "plays" the harmonica for us. He's such a sweetie! :-)

Elisha, Johanna (me), Phoebe and Beth (I look really old, don't I?!) :)

L-R: Abby, Beth, Caleb and Benjamin. I took this photo from on top of a ladder! *sheepish grin* But "a photographer will do anything to get a good photo".

Here is another photo of the inside-- it looks nice, doesn't it?

L-R: Aunt Jill, Elisha and Abby after lunch

Deborah (7) made this scrumptious dessert for dinner. It's main ingredients were peanut butter, chocolate and honey. (Rather fattening.)

Sweet Deborah, watching the volley-ball game (photo: courtesy of Elisha W.) *Smiles*

This is such a neat photo! It looks like Mr. Wahlquist is going to get the ball over to the other side. Yay! (photo: courtesy of Elisha W.)

We all had so much fun! Thank you, Wahlquist family, for letting us come and help you!!
