Hide and Seek

It's a new game that the Josh Linton family will have to play for a while. After having Lehi's own version of extreme home makeover, Josh and Alisa will be left with the job of trying to figure out where things have been put away. This morning Josh asks me where the flyswatter is. I don't know == where would someone put a fly swatter? Good luck finding things Josh.

When Josh and Alisa left for Disneyland I decided that I would deal with the news of Alisa's cancer by doing what any sane Lattin would do -- work -- physical labor work -- what better place than Josh's basement. I didn't end up working that hard, because I had a army full or willing workers ready to do anything needed. Here are a few of the fun pictures.


Being tall has it's advantages.

The stories and blessings for me personally have been overwhelming. I have listened to the stories of how Josh and Alisa have touched someone's lives. I have heard how they are so grateful for her beautiful photography or how she was so friendly to someone new in the ward. Sorry Josh your photography isn't inspiring but I heard you were great to have around and boys don't share quite as many reasons for helping -- they just help. I can't thank the people that rearranged their schedules to accommodate mine. Thanks to the Larabee's for coming when it wasn't convenient. I was touched by the father and son working together for a common purpose.

Brother's, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles all had a helping hand and willing heart. Kari tackled the lizard window without any fear.













John and Julie Peterson
Who said dancers are not handy guys? Julie said that touching the ironing board must count for helping. But she is keeping Amy company.













Since these aren't the real electricians we were hoping for no mixed wires. We had wonderful light at the end of the evening.









What is it about a closet that could make so many ladies smile? Thanks neighbors and friends

Thanks to Tracie for helping out in the organizing department. New friends were instantly made and smiles filled the house for days.










Even the littlest helper is on the job











I know that anyone who reads this and isn't in this valley would have come to help. Just knowing of your willing heart has been uplifting for me. Your prayers are appreciated. This was a fun project.
