!!!! WE'RE MAKING HAY........AND MORE FENCING.........AND STILL PACKING MORE SHIT!!!!!

This is our newly designed front room. STUNNING!!!!

Building more damn fence.......thank god we are almost done! .......all we have to do is put up the temporary panels and we can have horses in our backyard!!

Oh yeah, we cut our pasture and are going to bale it for hay.

Looks super perdy.........I think that is how they talk in the country.

We should break ground on our house soon!! Stay posted!!!

Trailer SWEET TRAILER!!!

We picked up our new home today!!!!!

It is a 27 ft Keystone Springdale.

Not too much room but we have a few projects that will keep us outside.

Camping for 4 months?....................we are NUTS!!!!

Busy, busy, busy!!!

We met Jim at the property today to try and figure out where the hell our house will sit.

We measured and painted lines all over hell.............Hoo, hoo..............Jim did you hear that??
Well Jim, it looks like we found a foreman for our upcoming project!!

A baby barn owl lives in one of the trees in our front yard!!! He has some adult feathers but still is mostly a little white puffball. He is adorable!!

He flew (or kinda flopped) out of the tree. Before we knew it though, he was back up there keeping an eye on our every move. The whole time you could hear Momma owl giving orders from across the street. We cant wait to get out there!!!!!

Gates are up, looking good.

Here's the auger and tractor that made it all possible

The corral is going up, almost time for horses

The fence is almost done!

TIME TO IRRIGATE............and fence.

Good morning!!

The cornerstone to our (near) future

We cant wait to see this wood pile dwindle.

We have 105 posts to plant before finish our latest little project!!
Shelb and her dad putting the crossties on the corner

Not too bad so far!!.........only 95 poles and 4 gates left!!!!!

!!SPRING CLEANING!!

We have been busy little beavers!!

Here is the before photo (taken last summer)............

........and after!!!!! (taken this spring)
We yanked out a couple of trees and then we trimmed
every damn tree on the place, even the creepy weeping willow.....

....and created quite a pile of debris!!

Sunkissed and dirty!!! Yeah!!!

We are going to start fencing in a couple of weeks............stay tuned.

Lots of people still viewing the house. Pray that St. Joseph will pull through soon!!

New vinyl, new carpet, new bed, new comforters!!! We just keep buying more and more shit!!

New carpet.......

.......we then decided with the carpet we needed

"just a headboard" and accidently bought a new bed.......
.....and comforter......

........for both rooms.

ECONOMY STIMULATED!!!

The Great Flood of 2009

The stairs before.........

............and after.

The laundry room before.................

................and after.

Death and destruction........or just another day on the acreage.

This nasty, stinky, juniper tree didn't come out with the tractor.

We had to hook it up to the truck.

Needless to say Hil had a bad day. We ended up in the shop with a bent bumper and then in the ER with Hilerie crying MY EYE!!, MY EYE!! She hooked the tree onto the bumper then screamed "HIT IT!!" and then ended up with a little twig in her eye that caused a corneal abrasion. Hilerie's thoughts on all of this, "REAL NICE SHELB". Oh yeah, and the tractor went tits up too........................Hmmm. We can hardly wait until Friday the 13th.

At least we still have a nice view....................too bad Hil can only see it with her right eye.

The right side is our future chicken coop and the left side is our tack room. We hauled off 3 loads of SHIT to the dump from this little itty bitty area alone.

Oh yeah, we also got rid of some squatters in the chicken coop too.....nasty little bastards!! Good thing it is still cold.

Bogus Creek Outfitters Sleighride

Self portraits are AWESOME!!

The sleds before the 1 mile trek to the cabin

On the way up the hill

The sunset was absolutely gorgeous!!

Passing some cross country skiers

The driver of the sled..........he was super cute Mom!!!

Dinnertime!!

We had some wine to start off the evening, soup in a bowl for an appetizer, some more wine, steak and shrimp with red potatoes for dinner, a little more wine, and dutch oven berry cobbler for dessert. We stuffed ourselves.............and then some.

There was even live entertainment!!

We are ready to book our next dinner. WHO IS COMIN' WITH US??
