What do you do when it is almost 90 degrees outside? Go to Aunt Kay's and play in the pool of course. Deni brought the boys, Garrett and Emmett and the 3 cousins had a blast together. Thank you Aunt Kay for letting us invade your pool.

Expanding the Driveway, Part 1

I think we know what his profession will be when he grows up....
The start of the new dirt....
More dirt....
Baker helping Daddy
Superintendent Baker...observing from the front lines
Doesn't he look irritated?
Ah, the mini-me
This is Baker helping Daddy when we were building....2 years earlier
Look at this 3 year old...he is so advanced
Even at 13 months he was working the controls
Moving dirt...
Watching the bucket...
Learning from Daddy so in 2 years he can help....who knew we would be doing this again??
Ah, my BOYS! I just love these 2!!!
For those of you who have been to our house, you know how scary our driveway was. When we built our house we were only allowed to build the driveway that we did because we have a "salmon stream" thru the front yard (ya right - salmon - seriously??). Anyways, we decided that we would wait until we were in our house a year before we tried to expand it. Of course we had to wait until the creek dried up to ensure those salmon were ok :) So, in August we (I mean Shane and Baker) started the expansion. It is so much better now and we don't have the huge hump at the top, which means you can backup and see where you are going. The next project that will happen over Labor Day weekend is adding the driveway lights. Then, we will add some clover to the sides so you don't see the ugly dirt and we (I mean Shane) are done!!! Thank you babe for doing such an amazing job!! It is fantastic!!
