Earlier this summer we purchased a small, 18′, above ground pool from Costco. This is a trial run to see if we can really keep up a pool during our already busy summer months. So far so good. We are considering putting an inground pool in this fall or next …

Three of our kids have June birthdays. Grandma Jean bright this birthday hat to every birthday celebration. Again, as you’ll see in other blog posts from earlier tonight further down aways, I’ve been working on trying to capture certain expressions. The sentiments expressed by each of the boys upon having …

Josh had a GREAT basketball season this year. He played point guard on one team and several positions on a travel team. I created a few smilebox pages which are already printed, adhered to page, and covered with a page protector! It’s GREAT having nice creative pictures from just a …

When you take “regular” swimming lessons, you don’t wear goggles. It wasn’t very easy convincing him …

If you’ve read our blog very long you know that we don’t live on a farm. We do have some hay ground that we lease out, but we don’t do anything with it ourselves. So, the haystack in the picture above is not ours. One day a month or so …

Back in August we were rebuilding some areas for the local beet dumps. Grandpa did this job while Tim was working on another job out of town. The boys *LOVE* to go to work whenever they can. Since this was a private job it was ok for them to go …
