Garage Shelves

I love having a garage and I'm sure I will love it even more when it starts to snow! 

Mark and I went to Home Depot while Dana was here to pick up supplies. For the record, it is way more cost effective to build shelves yourself, but as far as sanity, it may be worth it to have someone else do it. Who knew there were so many different options as far as wood and design goes.

D helped Mark get to work and loved using the electric drill.

                     

The beginnings:

And the finished product:

It is so nice to have it organized and have everything have a place!

POST graduation

Mark graduated from POST (Peace Officer Standards & Training) on September 13. My mother in law came to our house and we made the trip to Boise. Here are some pictures of graduation:

          

Mark & Chief Smith

 Each year the classes have a plaque made and present it to their instructor. THis thing was heavy!

 Speakers. It really wasn't too bad as far as length goes. It probably helped I had some treats :-)

                                                                   Being sworn in!

                           And it's done! It was a 10 week course, similar to basic training.

 Our family! (Excuse my hair!) I think this was hardest on the kids, especially Dave.

Mother & son!

Mark is now a certified police officer. Congrats to Mark!
