Here I am, yet again! Yes, I'm a bit late...but life just doesn't want to slow down!!! That's okay though, cause it always gives me something to blog about...eh?!?! This post is about the recent "activity" the guys aka men folk of the house and across the street dived into! They had a splendid time with each other building...can you guess?!?! That's right! A tree house, one that was supposed to be built last year...but then again, when has time slowed down for that! =) So, I have put all most of the photos together from beginning to end! I hope you enjoy this little ride watching it form into a lovely spot for one to sit and read, or play, or visit in!

Emma showing us where the beams will be placed!

Getting the holes ready!

The time has come, my friends!


When dad is happy, everyone is too!!! =) Must have been placed perfectly!



How many guys does it take to build a treehouse?!?!?




Mr. Vogel was incredibly helpful!! He was out there every morning until a lunch break, then back out until dinner working on that playhouse!! He's an outstanding worker!!


Yes, the photographer had to jump in for a picture too!! ;-)

Caleb and I enjoying the view! It's, I believe, 10 feet off the ground!!

William was a great helper too!! Learning right along side dad, Caleb and Mr. Vogel!


The little girls just enjoyed hanging out watching them place bored after bored....asking when they might be able to actually play in it!

Em and her wood....=)

Such a BIG Little man!! <3


"As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity.
The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning. So one generation of men will grow while another dies."
Homer, Iliad

I love how the sawdust looks, blowing up in the air like that!!!


Did I ever mention how much I love these two crazy kids?!?!?



The somewhat finished playhouse!


Mrs. Vogel really wanted to go up in the treehouse, so when it was "safe" enough...she ventured up 10 feet in the air!!

Well, that's it for now!! I pray y'all have been extremely blessed last month and that October proves to be even better!!! Also, if you would like to see Jessica's and my NEW photography blog go here!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

    You all are finally getting it built!! Good for you. I know your Dad wanted us to help with it while we were there, but life got in the way.:/ (Not to mention a certain Lady's Tea.):) I think it looks great!!!:) Are you all going to paint it?
    Thanks for sharing with your out-laws, who are across the country.;) Hope you all continue to have great weather.

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
