This is one side of the barn addition. I think it is pretty close to done now.

Clark

Trent was working on an old torn apart truck frame. He must have rubbed his eyes or something to have gotten it on his face!

..and of course we have to post some more pictures of Trevor. :)

Getting him dressed

Logan

Yesterday was Logan's 16th birthday!!!!!

Aunt Danielle holding Logan and Audrey

Three of Logan's favorite things:
1.Favorite color: Green
2.Favorite kind of truck: CHEVY!!!
3.Favorite movie: National Treasure

Holding Clark

Two things a lot of people don't know about Logan:
1. He used to go around a bite people when he was little.
2. He is totally against any Ford vehicle!

We're making progress on the basement! Audrey and Shannah were my faithful painters today. Only one or two more days of painting (I think) and we should be done for a while. I will be so glad to remove all left over construction materials and other misplaced objects and actually CLEAN down there SOON!

I hope to get Paul to hang the chalkboard in the school corner tomorrow. Maybe having a place AND not having power tools operating all day will help my little boys finish their school for this year in a more timely manner! (Yeah right, now that the weather is getting increasingly more mild!!!)

Looks like maple sap season has come to an abrupt end. It really warmed up and some of the trees are pushing leaves.

Paul's dad had carpal tunnel surgery done today. Can't have him without a casting hand when fishing picks up again! HA.

Shannah and Kaylee (She is Josh and Christine's younger sister)

Two things a lot of people don't know about Shannah:
1. Everyone thinks she is REALLY quiet and shy, but when it's just a few people around she is much more talkative!!!
2. She is quite picky about her hair. It has to be just right or she'll complain about it all day. :)

Shannah and a friend, Sue.

Happy Birthday Shannah!

Miles

Happy 4th birthday Miles!!!!!!

Miles' birthday was yesterday so here is a post for him:

1.Favorite food: Ice cream
2.Favorite color: Blue
3.Favorite season of the year: Summer, he likes warm days!
4.Favorite movie: Andy Griffith Show

Isn't he ADORABLE!?!?!?!

Two things a lot of people don't know about Miles:
1. When we go away Miles is usually pretty quiet, but when people are here he usually will talk their ear off!!
2. If we have a CD playing he will play along with his invisible guitar.

This is what he got from Grandma and Poppy.
