Halloween '07

We did several things for halloween this year. The biggest being Storybook Forest. The kids enjoyed it. Camdyn really liked the hay ride. Carter was happy once he got one sucker. Carter was a duck this year and Camdyn was a monkey. Carter didn't care much for getting his costume on, but once he got it on he was happy.


October pictures and update

To say the least our lives have been a little crazy lately. Just a short overview of the past 4 or 5 weeks. The main thing is we sold our house. We were able to find a rent house for the short period of time that we needed. It is really as good as we could get for a rent house, although it has taken quit a bit of time to feel comfortable in it. The kids did great with the move and have adjutsted very well. We have stayed busy with our building process. The actual time that we spend out at the land has decreased, but we have been putting in a lot of time going to different places in the short amount of time that we have between Craig's school and my teaching. We have also been busy with company. A couple of weeks ago we made a weekend trip up to Nebraska to see my parents and this past week Craig's parents were here. We also decided to go on the church camping trip a couple of weeks ago. That was a nice break. This past weekend Carter got an ear infection and then pink eye. This is his first ear infection since his tubes were put in back in March. The baby you see with Camdyn and Carter is my sister's baby, Brinley. They love to give her hugs and kisses.

House Update


Our house is coming along good for the most part, there are a few things slowing down progress. We are waiting on the exteriors doors and also for the correct windows to come in. We are also waiting on the inspection of all the framing and electrical work to pass. Hopefully, the next day or two that will happen and we can start insulating the house. There has been several small things that have also been accomplished over the last several weeks. We got our fireplace installed, two bath tubs installed and the well was dug and are now waiting for the actual pump so that the brickers can start. We have stayed busy making decisions on other house items. We have finalized all of the cabinets in the house, and some of the countertops. You may have seen in one of the pictures a no tresspassing sign. Our electrician notified us that he saw some debris left from what were some small fires inside our house. One was in the garage and another upstairs in the bonus area. So far they have scared off the culprit.
