Another DIY Day









This video is for you Grandpa Larry, Grandpa Steve, and anyone else who is interested. This is one of Randy's recent designs to install an underground electric dog fence. In one evening he put wire around our 5 acres and around the neighbors 5 acres.

I'm really thinking I see an underground sprinkler system in our future. ;)

50 of 52: Spring Break Highlights!

We didn't break for it and leave town. We just stayed put and enjoyed a break at home. It's just what we needed. Here are the top twelve things we did for Spring Break (not necessarily in order)...

#12-Burned the burn pile.

#11-Spent a couple nights camping out in the basement!
#10-Looked at airplane magazines with Daddy.
#9- Put together puzzles and played Monopoly (required a little patients from Mommy).

#8- A trip to the library and lots of books to read.
#7-Cleaned out chicken coop and got 14 new baby chicks.Add Image

#6- Worked on the tractor with Dad in the garage. (after exhausting all other methods, this stubborn metal part finally had to be cut off with a dremel tool!)

#5-Had a play day with some special friends.

#4-Decorated Eggs as a family.

#3-A fun Easter Egg party at Dave, Denay and Caitlyn's
#2-Lunch one day at a Mexican restaurant with Grandpa and Grandma.

and #1- Seeing the baby pigs at the pig farm! (pictures to come... tomorrow)



That pretty much sums up our spring break. Here are a few more pictures...




Hope all had a great spring break as well!

When Daddy Let Me Drive


It was just an old hand me down Ford...

Gray and red tractor with dents in the metal...


A young boy, two hands on the wheel...


I can't replace the way it made me feel...
When Daddy let me drive.

A piece of my childhood will never be forgotten.

...see my playlist at top left to hear this song...


Colter got to drive the tractor on it's way into our garage for repairs. Now it's sitting up on blocks waiting for some parts. It's such a great old tractor...

Have a great weekend!

Tractor Work

Randy put the 8N to work moving the chicken coop from in front of the garage to the side of the house. When the chickens don't need the heat lamp anymore, he will move it out to the pasture. The tractor made this job so much easier.
