Work Work Work

We are staying busy these days.
We like to involve anyone who will give us a little extra hand.

Levi is getting good
with a gun!
Resting quarters are small so they are getting better at sharing.
Heston's skateboard has come in handy. It has prevented some sore knees.
My awesome Sister!
Grandma is good with tape and plastic!
Every seam has to be just right!
Grandpa!
Taking it easy!
I love that skateboard!

Concrete, Derby & Cute Kids


We have a new driveway and a new patio.
The kids can't wait to get some use out of their blades!

The Pinewood Derby was this weekend.
It was a lot of fun.
Levi had a super cool car this year!
Whit finally got a new bed.
His crib found it's way to the basement.
As you can see he is enjoying the extra space.
Anna still loves the jumper.

Spring is approaching.
Good old Thumper was miserable with a thick coat of hair that was not falling out fast enough.
Chris took a little time out of his day to make him feel better.
Whit loves his chicken!
We think Pearl loves him too.



The clean up crew!





Whit and Anna cleaning up!

I thought I better put some photos of the biggest project we have been working on lately. It is coming along nicely.
Septic tank line.

The clean up crew.
This is before we started the brick.
Sweeping the front porch.

This is where the table will go.

The back of the house is finished with brick.

Chris took the 8th graders on a field trip. Levi was lucky enough to miss a day of school and tag along.
Our young ewe lamb that Levi did so well in the fair with last year just had a cute little baby.
Well, I guess the baby was not so little.
We ended up having to assist her in the delivery.
Her uterus prolapsed.
Chris called his brother. They cleaned her uterus and then Chris slowly pushed it back inside her. His brother then sewed her up.
Levi helped tie the knots as they were sewing her up.
Boy is he getting an education.
I thought she was a gonner for sure but Chris has been doctoring her up and she seems to be doing fine.

Casey is getting attached to the cute little bugger.
Casey & Heston had their birthday's this month. Time is sure flying!

This is our first baby lamb that was born. She is up and running all over the place now. Luckily we didn't have any problems with her.
It has been so cold that we started letting the kids sleep in the family room. This is what it looks like every night.

Levi has discovered a new world of toys. K'nex are awesome!
We visited Hardware Ranch after Christmas. We rode in a sleigh pulled by horses to look at the elk.

Anna keeps getting cuter!
Heston keeps losing his teeth.
Apparently Anna does not like green beans.

Christmas 2010


Whit has three best friends. Annie the dog, Pearl the chicken and his little sister Anna.



This was the Christmas of Wheels

Whit got a Strider. Look up Strider on Youtube. We have high hopes.

Heston says he got a "real pro bike."

Casey got a bike with gears so she can "keep up with the rest of us."

Levi got some roller blades for the "new skating rink."



Jodi got a hole.........

and Chris got some concrete for "the new skating rink."

Actually, we finally broke ground on our new house December 12th. It has been a long process of designing, getting bids and financing. We began this process last Easter. Things are progressing very good despite the cold weather. We are pretty excited about it all. Truth is, we can't afford to finish the basement so we told the kids we were building them a skating rink in the basement. Levi asked if we could buy a disco ball.
