Digging the basement June 2009

Well with the stick picking and rock picking all done it's time to dig the Basement, Yahoo!!


Here's a picture of the view where our house will be. We - ha ha Daniel actually, smoothed it out so we could mark the dimentions of our basement.

Here's a picture of our pond, we're going to expand it. over in the grassy area there are more ravines that snow melt off flows down, and that area is very swampy so we are going to make it look like a Lake. Daniel will build a bigger dam, I'll take a picture of that later :o).

Let the Digging begin!! Nice hole right!

And here's the finished thing, all marked out and ready for footings.
How exciting, Now what?

Happy Birthday Daniel!!

I am a Very Lucky Girl. I have the Most Wonderful Husband! He works hard so that I can stay home with the kids. And he is a Fantastic Daddy! I Love Him So Much!! I couldn't have asked for a better man!

For Daniel's 32nd Birthday this year we went Camping - Yes Camping in May, and oh boy it was so cold. We all slept warm enough though. In the morning we went fishing, that was the miserable part. The Lake - I can't remember the name of. But it still had some Ice, Most of it was slushy but there was ice. Yeah, we didn't catch anything!!

My Silly Ruger Boy -

Ruger is such a funny little guy! He's a very hard worker and he know's how to make things fun. We are all so glad to have him around!!

Mykenzie's Photography Practice

I have to admit I'm really excited that Mykenzie LOVES to take pictures. It was so cute when she got her brothers and sister to Pose in the tree. I could see the photographer in her. What do you think??

Stick and Rock picking continued...

Hyrum was a good helper, he even got to drive sometimes. What a Big boy!

Some of the rocks we found were really big, this isn't the biggest, there were lots!!

We had to use a loader to get some of them out!!

Aspen most often just played in the trailer.

She did get out when there was lots to pick up and she helped pretty good for a 1 1/2 year old.

Kenzie and Ruger keeping an eye out for stray sticks and rocks.

They were such good helpers!!
