How I spent my holiday

By -
Usually I'm up camping and enjoying myself over the 4th...not this year. With the possibility of grandkids coming later this summer I want to get as much done on the playhouse as I can so I spent my holiday working on it. The "fort" part is almost totally done. I got the roof on (so there won't be any more rain) and have started on the 12 volt light system. I still have a lot to do on the bottom part.
This picture is just to make Christa salivate. (click on picture to get the full effect) Our apple trees are FULL of green apples....this picture is after mom thinned them. They're not ready to eat yet but give them another month and they will be.

Isn't Gramps the GREATEST for sacrificing his holiday to built this magnificent play area for his grandchildren? It's a lot of work...but he is doing good! Yesterday he had to get on top of the roof to secure the trim around the edges. With his fear of heights, THAT WAS BY FAR HIS WORST DAY of working on it! Made him physically ill!

The kids are going to LOVE (!!!) it! It's what they'll talk about when they're older. Chad still talks about the playhouse over at Grandma and Grandpa Haslem's house. Looking great!!

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
