The big Remodel is coming along !

Happy with the carpet and paint
The carpet is so so plush, it's taking some getting used to.
Corey Stark laid it, and he does a beautiful job.  I would recommend him to anyone !

This is our new NEST thermostat.
Pretty HIGH TECH !!

Taylor Lay did such a great job on the AC
We are so appreciate of his help.
Taking an entire Saturday was so good of him.

I don't know why, but I thought it would just be a 2-hour job - NOT !!
He is AWESOME.

Cupboards before Donna got to painting

Partially painted (crown molding)
 and base coat on the island

Stair cap done

She's a master painter
Roller in one hand, paint brush in the other, and even one in her teeth !!

She's working on the door and drawer fronts now at her home.
She'll finish up next week.

Fun at the Property

Relaxing - this boy is always reading.

You can't really tell from this pic, but here she is in her beautiful white princess dress, with sand sand sand amongst the tulle.  She was having a ball. 

Check out our family YOUTUBE page (see link above) for video of the tree removal and little monkies in the tree. 

Father's Day

We had a wonderful couple of hours at the Property on Father's Day.
Mom fixed Dutch Oven Mountain Dew Chicken, and it was great to be together.  We were sorry Erika's family was in Europe and couldn't make it.

Here is a pic of Zac and his boys (on earth) 

Miss Monkey in the Tree :)

Yummy Icecream Sandwich

Roger and his boys
(Missing Manda) 

All of the Father's
Zac, Roger, Mark, Dad, Landon

Landon and his crew
(Notice Brightyn holding her drippy ice cream sandwich to the side :)

The weather was a little breezy, but it was a wonderful time to be together as a family. 

Hugs for Grandpa D

Mark admiring Brightyn's fingernails she paints herself !!

Mark told Tagg that he would by him a shrimp dinner at Chuckarama if he (Tagg) would call and find out when they served shrimp.  Tagg was nervous, but he REALLY REALLY wanted that dinner :)

Our life lately - June

We are still in the basement, while getting the upstairs remodeled.  Dinner around the small table is quite squishy. 

Lemonade/Treat Stands and Grandma Shirlee's 

Zac's shop is coming along (interior) 

All taped up, ready to paint. 

Happy Father's Day Grandpa - we'll clean up all of the dog poop for you :) 

The baby goats are done being bottle fed (by CJ and boys) - now back to our house, because they have figured out how to get out of their pasture, and onto the neighbor's yard.  We'll bring them back to our house until they are bigger. 

Bandit loves Tagg...........actually he pretty much loves everyone.  

Treyson went to Scout camp at Camp Bartlett for a week. 

He was sure glad to come home, and with only a small injury 

Painting went so well !!
LOVE IT 

Jeff baled the hay, and they boys had to have the usual picture taken on the big bales 

Helping Grandma D clean out the sand pile. 

Cutting down the low hanging branches..........

With me manning the tractor - SCARY DEAL !!!

Then Landon came, and it went mucho better.  Roger is a much better tractor driver than I am, that's for sure. 

Miss Bexlee watching me make sandwiches for the kiddos

Just a SWINGIN.............

Payson was fascinated with the owl pellets, and proceeded to disect them and get all of the bones out.  

Bexlee's first swing !!

All done - now off to the burn pile !

Paint turned out WONDERFUL !!

Practicing shooting - for the Hunter Safety Class.
They both passed their written tests, now for the shooting 

All can lights in, and working great. 

Miss Piggy got her toenails trimmed with a little help from the vet.
