Some progress...Some playing

We got some more things done with the cabin.......we did some painting....

Kelly and Joe worked on the upstairs

Billy, Allie and Sara stopped by and we played......
By Sunday afternoon even the dogs were tired.......

And last but not least the cool pictures from the hidden camera.....

First Fire

Well we finally got the first phase of the cabin built....We are very excited about getting it finished out, adding the porch, window, bathroom, etc., keep checking back and I will show you pictures of our progress.....

Me painting the floor

It also got cold enough at night for us to have our first fire, in the fire pit that Josh built...We also made smores....

Not many pictures on our hidden camera this week just a few deer and the racoon.....

Thats all for now check back next week.....

HIDDEN CAMERA

We got a camera that we can leave down at the land to see what is going on when we are not there. The first week we put it out there we did not get any pictures. This week when we looked at it we had 124 pictures. Below are some of the critters that were captured on film......

This is the famous "Deer in the headlights"

These cute little critters, Ha! Ha! enjoyed it so much they stayed around for a couple of hours and then came back again later.

These two are way better..a rabbit and a racoon...Can't wait to see what we get this week.

WE'RE IN THE HAY!!!!!!!

We drove down to check out the land today and had a big surprise. The man that we had talked to like 4 months ago finally came thru. He had told us he wanted to wait till the grass (hay) was high enough to cut, but I guess being city folks, we were very impatient.

This is Kelly riding the 4-wheeler thru the hay....

Riley really likes it now that the grass is cut...

This is hay up close....

A view from the front gate....

This is by Joe's deer feeder, I think its deer poo......

This is Joe's salt block...something has been eating on it.

I have way to many pictures to put on here, so just ask me sometime and I will show you.

I guess you can now say Kelly and I are officially Hay farmers now....HA HA

Long time no post......

Its been awhile, I know, but there never seems to be enough time to sit down and blog.........
We did get to go to CT over the memorial day weekend, and spend time with both of our married children. Below are a couple of pictures taken on our day in New York......we had a wonderful time



This picture was taken at a park and board walk not far from Amanda's work. I don't think there is a place around there that is not beautiful. Amanda says she loves it up there, I can understand why. You don't see anything like it in Texas.


After we got back from CT, we went to do some work and on our property in Como, TX....We really like it out there...it is so peaceful and just a great place to get away....I will take some pictures this weekend and post them so everyone can see...

SICK HOUSE

This has been a bad week, I started getting sick on Monday night, then Ashley and Kelly were so jealous they decided to join me in my misery. Needless to say no one wants to come see us till this is gone because it is not pretty. I have been desperately trying to get Ashley well as she leaves tomorrow for CT and we don't want her to share with Amanda and Kelly, because we definitely want them to have a good time. Hopefully they will take alot of pictures and Amanda can share them on her blog. I am really ready to go back up to CT, it is really pretty and I really want to go to New York...there are alot of things there I would like to see. Soon I hope, but right now I can say I am very excited that Amanda is coming home soon to visit...27 days...does this sound familiar.

So I had to do some editing to my previous blog...I guess to keep the peace I will get permission to post a picture before I do......yea right.....

Lets see who I can make mad at me now......

Josh with his ear bud....he got it for Christmas but, my bet is that Lexie has eaten it by now....

Justin lost in a daze...the Cowboys must be on tv, nothing else keeps his attention this much...

Lindsay and Sarah are anxiously awaiting the opening of Christmas presents.....

Neil watching the girls open their presents and Grandma's hand.....every picture I have of her looks like this, I think her hand is part of her face.. :)

The excitement of Christmas, Allie and Sarah, this is what Neil was watching....

I have never seen Billy question anything he eats...not sure what is wrong with this possible the fact it's cooked...

Papaw....not a real good picture, I think his head blends in with the wall paper, but I couldn't leave him out....

Ashley controling the submarine....look out navy boys.....

Josh, Amanda and Mary Beth, I not sure if Amanda still calls Mary and tells her what color of shirt to wear or not....

No comment needed....

The ones I love....we once were 6 but now were 8....These people are my life and I thank God for each and everyone of them everyday......There is always room to grow :)

Till next time, take care, be careful, and keep each other in your prayers.....Love, Momma
