Happy New Year!!

It has been awhile since I posted so here are a few pictures of what has been going on for the last few months.


Here is our new dog. It is a boxer just like our last one. We liked her so much we went with the same breed again. Her name is not Maya that is just the name the breeder gave her till we pick one out. We get to pick her up on the 24th of Jan.

I went on a deer hunt the first part of Dec. The first few days were very foggy, then it cleared off and was too good of weather for hunting. (no snow)

Here I am waiting for that perfect shot opportunity....too bad I cant hit what I aim at!! Oh well more practice needed for next year.

We got a lot of snow the last few weeks of December. I didn't keep a running total but I know we got well over 2 feet total.

The kids loved it!

Hunter got the apple! After the kids were done that water was nasty looking!!!

Tme for an update

Most of the interior work is finally done and we can now park one car in the garage!! Just in time for the rainy season.

We decided to get a gas fire insert as opposed to a wood fireplace. It will be much easier to flip a switch instead of going out and cutting down a tree for heat! We plan on having that installed sometime next month.

This is our closet in the downstairs hallway.

Busy Days

Finally, the painting is (mostly) done! Our garage door is in! And we don't live in the brown lincoln log house anymore......Thanks to wonderful family and friends who helped!!!

The only camping we got done this summer was on our back deck! And Mom thought it would get cold so we had every blanket and comforter from the house on us and we were hot all night!! But it was great fun and the kids had a ball! I went back in the house and snuck in my own bed at 7a.m.!!!

The only pic I got of Miranda not hiding under the covers!

Hunter is playing shy with a book while camping on our deck!

I am going to attempt to update our Blog and I am sure Joel will change it soon!!! Kids are off to their new school! Wade King Elementary!

Wow 2 posts in 2 weeks...a record!

After many years this old house needed a face lift. We had all the paint ready but just needed some decent weather to finally paint.

Saturday morning started very grey with low overcast. I got out of bed at 7:00am thinking I was going to get a head start on painting...not so. I looked outside and promptly went back to bed. 9:00 came around and I tried it again. This time the weather looked a bit more promising. Dad showed up to help around 9:45 and by 1:30 I was spraying paint. (Notice the nice new garage door? This one actually goes up and down all by itself!)

By the look of me, the house wasn't the only thing getting painted!!
