Deadline Sept 19th for carshow

Here is our 68 Cadillac Calais. We have had it for about 3 years and have slowly been making progress on it. Only we decided we wanted to take it to the street deacons car show in Sept. We have a lot of work to do! Currently it runs, but does not drive, has no interior (we have the new interior, but the floor needs work first) and the whole thing clearly needs to be sanded and painted! This is the first car that Paul and I have done pretty much all the work together, so it has been really fun. We have high hopes of this becoming our family road trip car.

We ripped out all the interior, it was so gross!

These were taken with a camera phone sorry! Here's what the body looks like now.

Kinda looks like rainbow brite!

Wide open spaces...kinda.

We are making progress towards building the barn!!! Paul spent three days with an excavator last weekend clearing for where we are going to build the barn! We also cleared up by the house to make more driveway and parking space.

After!

The future barn site, paddocks will go back and to the left.

Yay for Hay!!!

Well, I think we have enough hay to last through the winter. We got 194 bales off a field last week, and got it put up in the barn. I love seeing trucks working ( I know, I'm a hillbilly) so I thought I would let you share in the joy. This beautiful Ford is my Mom's truck Georgie P. Green. It reminds me so much of the truck I drove when I first got my license, only mine was blue. Can you picture this in the Lynden Christian parking lot?

Winthrop '09

Here are some pics from our annual trip to Winthrop. It was a bit hard because T was so excited to do everything! She was either upset because she wanted to do something RIGHT NOW, or upset because we had to leave. But in between she had a ton of fun! Jelly was an "angel", she was too little to even realize we had left home.
The bridge at Newhalem, getting some exercise after lunch.

Our newest In The Weeds truck, somewhere along Hwy 20.

T at the playground by the big red barn.

Me and Jelly hanging out at the resort watching T play in the sand on the volleyball court. We stayed at WolfRidge Resort this year.

T in a tree! This was along the walking trail in Newhalem.

Better Late than Never...

Here's T on her new horse Cookie, T has been riding her and we taught her how to stand on the stump. She is a champion driving mare and we took her for a drive down our little road yesterday, she did so great. T likes to take her toy horses (all are now named Cookie) and stand them up on blocks just like the real Cookie. She is so horse crazy!

Alright, here's something for ya!

Okay, since my sister is going to jail for computer hacking, I decided to at least post a couple of new pics in her honor. Below is T ready to go to the barn to ride Breezy. She loves her helmet and her boots and it is almost impossible to get her out of either.
This is T at Papa's house trying her chompers out on corn on the cob for the first time. she did pretty good!

She's not crawling anymore, but...

Hey everyone! This is Stephanie (Jenn's sister)--I hacked into her poor little blog because it hasn't been updated since APRIL! I thought I'd share this little picture of Baby T with you to see how long it takes Jenn to notice I posted this!

I'm not biased at all, but T has to be the cutest little girl I've ever met!
