Santa is coming to town

The boys are excited for Santa to come and bring toys on Christmas day.

Halloween was great this year.

Sorry this isn't a great picture of Ben. We need to take another.

That big tub of candy is what Joseph and Ben got from tricker treating. They worked very hard.

Benjamin learning to ride his bike

Benjamin was more into making the sound effects than pedaling.

Joseph caught a frog on the Columbia River

Joesph had a fun afternoon catching and re-catching this frog.

Benjamin's Bike Make Over Project

Ben's bike is now pumpkin orange with 2 new tires and training wheels. He is the happiest kid in the whole world now. We couldn't wait for his birthday in a month since it is already getting cold.

Benjamin's hot pink Barbie bike

Benjamin just had to have this bike when he saw at the Thrift store. The good thing about it we paid only $2.50, the bad thing it is very pink and has Barbie stickers all over it and it needs new tires. Benjamin is very happy and that is what counts.

The Kitchen Table is finshed!!! (For real this time)

After 4 months of hard work we have a very nice kitchen table.

Building the Table Part 6

This video is the day the table was attacked by the herd of mosqutioes

The Table is FINSHED!!!

Well this is probably not the table you were waiting to see but, it is a table and finished.  Joseph is really excited to eat outside for every meal.

The kitchen table had issues. The weather has been nice so we started to put the finish on it when the we notice between coats a whole herd on Mosquitoes have been landing on it and getting there feet stuck to the table. So for the last coat we brought it inside to do. (No rain and no Mosquitoes)



Family History Site

Happy Birthday Grandma. Here is where you born (or what is left of it). Joseph is standing on a rock in front of the drive way. The other picture is a picture of the view from the back of the property. Enjoy!

The Garden fence is complete

Finally we got the fence up for our garden. Here is the specs.

* 12FT X 12FT X 5FT Tall.

* 10 Stake Posts

* All held together by 30 zip ties. Thanks Dad. I knew one day I would be able to use those zip ties you got me for Christmas so many years ago!

Now we just need to come up with a gate.

Campout

Well it was pretty much a good campout. Except for it started to pour rain around 1:00am and then at 4:00am I noticed Benjamin and his sleeping bag is completely drenched! I took off his wet clothes and put him in my sleeping bag until it was time to wake up.

Do you see the Snake!

Who is a better Easter egg hunter?

Kitchen Table Update

Here are some pictures of where we are at on our kitchen table project. Next step is sanding and staining.

Ben has 2 table legs and the table top made it home safely from Spokane.

Saw horses

Joseph and I are going to make Jennie a new Kitchen Table for her birthday. I wanted to keep it a suprise but Joseph had a different idea. No sercert or suprise anymore. Today when I got home from work we made these saw horses to give us something to build the table on. (We still need to cut the taller ones legs to match the smaller one)

Dishes

After I told Joseph that I didn't really like doing the dishes and they need to be done so we can make more cookies. Joseph said, "Alright Daddy I will do the dishes."
