Roofing in Redondo Beach

For the 8 years we lived in Redondo Beach Kirt worked as a roofer- actually part owner of Stout Brothers Roofing. He supervised all the crews and was typically gone from 6 or 7 am to one hour past dark if he was out on a job. The kids all came to recognize the odor of the hot tar kettle returning home to the back yard.

Our first home- 100K in 1980

In Germany

Just before the leg wrestling!

Foreign Exchange Student - Kujtim

When Merika was a Junior at Lancaster High School we had a foreign exchange student from Germany. Her name was Stephanie and she was a vegetarian.

When Birke was a Junior at Elk Grove High School we had a foreign exchange student from Macedonia- he was Muslim.

We had cultural learning experiences from both experiences.

Our Second House - Provo

This is the second home that Kirt and Launa lived in. We were only in our first house for a few weeks when we heard that a couple in our ward - who managed apartments - were moving. We talked to the owners and they were thrilled to have us with Kirt's many handy skills. This is where we lived while I was pregnant with Logan and until Logan was 2 years old. The white part is the living room.
Kimball Apartments was an old house converted into 4 apartments- ours was one of them. Also a separate building with two apartments behind the main house.
