Was a Storage Shed...soon to be a sitting/tv room!

This shed was used by the previous owner as a storage shed. They had a washing machine in here but no electricity, {they used am extension cord to the house}! There was no window so we had one put in. The guys took out the water and sewer pipes and Ron did the electric wiring for us. Now we will use the building as a "Sitting/TV/Computer Room". We will have a hide-a-bed sofa in there so when we have company they can sleep there.

Brayden doing his thing!

Here is Brayden doing his thing. He is musically inclined and plays the guitar and piano and also likes to do this, I think it is called mixing but I better ask him so I can put the right term on here, ha ha ha....He is now 15 and will turn 16 in April.

Christmas Photos Dec. 21

Here are a few photos, this was Dec 21st. when the kids came for dinner. Brayden and Meeca were down stairs watching TV and when Ernest went down they were both asleep. We had fun with the 4 younger girls, we had them singing Christmas songs for us and just generally fooling around. I am so happy we were home this Christmas and we had these special times with our family. Rayven and Mikayla are 13, Kiana is 11 and Keeli is 8 years old. I can hardly beleive Brad and Jen will turn 40 next month!

White Christmas

Check out our WHITE CHRISTMAS, the first photos are the front of the house and then I added a few tree ornaments followed by some shots of our snowy deck!

Kiana and Keeli's Ringette Photo

Our son in law sent me these photos of the Keeli and Kiana so I thought I would post them today. Kiana is in the Frazer Valley in a Ringette Tournament this weekend and Keeli is here with Ernest and I. Keeli and I are going to do some baking, shopping and take in a movie so the weekend should go by quickly. This weekend is suppose to be very cold and we should have lots of snow too.....then we will feel like Christmas is coming!

Deer fighting in backyard!

This morning I awoke to an awesome sight, two bucks were putting on a show for me. I must of been too excited as I did a poor job taking photos through the kitchen window. I have taken photos from there before and they were pretty good but not today....boohoo.... anyway here are a couple shots just to show you.

We are home!

Hi, just a short note to say we are home. We had a great trip home, nice dry roads all the way with only a little bit of fog in Oregon. It is nice to be back in a "real house", the park model is fine but I sure love my home. We will see all the grand kids after school today and we are going to Marnie & Brad's for dinner tonight! We did a bit of Christmas shopping on the way home and now I have to get busy here and finish it up and also get DECORATING!! Will add to the post as I get things done here for Christmas, just to keep you all up to date and let you know what your missing by staying in Yuma and not being home with your family, ha ha ha.....

Garage is done!

Here are a few inside photos of the garage. We have bought a washer, dryer and deep freeze; I think we are done for a while. The concrete work will be done tomorrow.
