We Can Kinda' Live in Our House Again






 Me and Forrest took a nice ride on Casey's motorcycle for the first time together. He held on tight to me 'cause he knows I know the roads out here and he's still learning. He insists on riding in his underwear, I can't seem to convince him to put some clothes on. Maybe sometime he'll let us turn it on when mom's not around. 



This is the type of transportation mom prefers. We spent most of the last two weeks riding our bike around town. Our new family bike. It's awesome! Mom is getting really strong and I cheer her on as she tries to make it up the big hills. I have my own seat and handle bars. Forrest is a bit envious, he's sick of always riding in the back. 


Finally, we're able to at least live in our house again. We packed up our wagon and crossed the street. After 4 days at the neighbors, who conveniently decided to go on a camping trip, we are back in our place again. Of course my dad keeps looking like he might go crazy every time Forrest runs towards the newly oiled and still drying wood floors. But we have floors again and that's a good thing. I got a nasty splinter last week. 


So lovely, the floors that is. My dad is almost done and looks quite dapper sitting in his new digs. We have devised all sorts of ways of getting things from the kitchen since we can't walk on the floors for about a week or so.

Things Are Looking Up


No more plastic. Beams are holding. Subfloor is in! Now we needs some shelves and a real floor. 


What color should we paint our kitchen, we're really tired of the blue. Ideas?

WOW! Our house is really Pretty


Trying in moms new sunglasses before heading off to the fair. 


Here is a bit about our remodel in case you were wondering...lots of pixs for all our fans out there. 

Oh god, that was our kitchen, ummmm...not sure what room it is anymore after being completely demolished, nice job Dada. All the black beams were from a fire long ago....and the floors too!



Dada and I start ripping up the kitchen floor those are the wooden beams that Dada somehow managed to put up (there used to be a wall there). Mom is finally convinced that they aren't gonna fall on us. 


Dada and I finish ripping it up and celebrate

Dada happy after a bath. Way to go!

Forrest and I take off to the Oregon Country Fair to let Dada tear more stuff up.
I loved the pirate ship! We saw lots of music, a play for kids, samba, and ate lots of ice cream!
Just added this guy in because he was so awesome....he made a bike powered jigsaw. And anyone who wears those short overalls at his age has to be cool ( or just crazy).
