Caiden wearing a snowman at Dee's house.

We had a white Christmas in Shelton with Ed's sister and family. Amanda and Caiden went with us on the trip.
When we got home we had a little more snow and Kaitlyn was able to make a big snowman. Caiden watching a movie on the way to Shelon. He was so quiet with the headphones in his ears.
Dominic in the toy box I made him for Christmas.
Here is the little tiny snowman Kaitlyn and Caiden made while in SHelton.

Kaitlyn as Cruella Devil and Amanda as herself.

Dad's house is coming along

This was the kitchen before the beautiful cabinets were removed.
This is the kitchen as of Sunday afternoon. The walls are all new the ceiling is new. The cabinets replaced. Erik standing in the middle of construction.
Looking into the pretty livingroom with real estate guy. Notice the lovely color.
This is the living room after new sheetrock and ceiling. Still lots to do.
This is the new red metal roof in starting to go up.

This is the new front and the roof is almost done.

There is still tons to be done but it is getting much closer to being liveable. Even though they are living in it as it is being updated.

Caiden the Monkey and Dominic the Lion.
This is Erik's little fish he caught. He sent me the picture and I just thought I'd share it.

Erik is always hunting or fishing. He is getting ready to leave Sunday for Moose hunting in Canada.

My dad

Well my dad moved to South Dakota 11 years ago and every since he has hated it there but the cost of houses here are so high that it was almost imposible for him and his wife to ever more back. Now he has finally sold his house in SD for 70,000. It was a victorian remodled home and very beautiful. He left this morning with all his belongings in a U-Haul and his wife and cat. They are moving into a fixer upper 9 minutes from the crazy farm. (my house) It will be fun for the grandkids to get to know their great grandpa!!! He is excited to be able to watch them grow. 4 generations living close together. Now I will have family besides my kids and nephews living close. Not that I have not considered all of Dee's family our family. The more the merrier. Anyway I hadn't posted anything in a while so thought I would. Enjoy the pictures of the new babies I added.
