Cars

It amazes me when I come across these things that the kids do.

Visit from Uncle Terry

We had a surprise visit from Cory's Uncle Terry on the long weekend. He was eager to help out on the roof when he showed up...he has been so helpful over the last year, we appreciate it so much!
The kids and Uncle Terry...and Rocky, his dog
Such a smart dog!

Putting on the Roof

It was alot of prep-work and three hours of craning to get the roof on the house.

Before:
We built trusses into sections on the ground and hired a crane to put them up.


Helpers: Rich & Dad

Todd on the forklift


Cory amazes me everyday during the construction process, here he is landing trusses two storeys up!
Dad & I waiting for orders

Sunset

A beautiful sunset after a storm.

Stormy Clouds

The clouds we've been able to see from our campsite are amazing.!

We ended up heading to my parents for the night after all the weather warnings that accompanied this storm. Turned out to be pretty minimul...just what happens when you're prepared for the worst...I guess better safe than sorry, right.

Visit from the Craigs

The Craig family joined us in Oxbow for a few days

We hit the swimming pool,

had some drinks,
a big dinner,
some birthday cake for Jarilyn,

a Kubota ride...we had a great time!

Scarlett & Ace would keep their dog Kia if they'd let them

Long story about why we gave the couple a BBQ cover for a gift...the bride (& Lisa) slept in our backyard in our BBQ cover after Tara's stagett...we still talk about it to this day.
Color coordinated M & Ms decorated the tables...and totally wired the kids.
