Me and my Little Sweetness

Echo and Katie Sue graduate from high school.

How many days 'til spring?

1000 gallons of free water

I know ... why are they eating ice cream cones when its 30 degrees out?

Seems like they switched to snow

Clean up

Silas loves to go above and beyond.

Here he is cleaning the pool clothes in the creek.

He's a great kid and I love him for it.

Emerson's just watching and being cute.

Dam Report

During one of the warm and beautiful days last week the kids repaired the 

dam they built last summer along with making it a little higher.  

They love getting wet and dirty.

Not sure what to make of this

He kind of reminds me of Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail

Finally got the under-pinning up

The underpinning is an apron that goes around the bottom of the perimeter of the structure to keep the underside of the house warm. It also looks much nicer and prevents guests from being able to count the dogs sleeping under the house.

After all we don’t want to appear like we’re rednecks, do we?.

The two sections that were left open will have access panels so we could use the bottom of the house like a mini-basement.

The kids did great helping me and making the job go a lot easier.

Thanks kids!
