2. Be a good example.
3. Be debt free and financially stable.

3 Current obsessions/collections:

Making progress...

One wall to go...
Hmmm....that doesn't look like he is working!

Well, the 'house' is framed! We just have one more wall in the garage and we will have all the exterior walls up!!! As you can tell, NLH got a new toy. He has decided he wants to fly fish. When we didn't need him to stand a wall, he was walking around practicing with his new fly rod.

Vacation 2008

Cheif Joseph Highway.

The Museum of the Rockies...

This week we took a short break from 'the ordinary', and went on a vacation/business (for LH) and went to Bozeman, MT. LH needed to go to a mine near there to measure a truck so he can design a staircase for it. We took the 'scenic route' in stead of the interstate. It was a beautiful drive. We stopped on top of the Beartooth Mountains to enjoy the sites. It was 51 degrees! And yes, that is SNOW in the background. NLH and SJH enjoyed a little snowball fight while the rest of us sat in the blazer trying to stay somewhat warm! Needless to say, this road is closed in the winter since there is snow there in August. The kids and I spent the first morning swimming while LH went to take care of the 'business'. In the afternoon we went to the Museum of the Rockies on the MSU campus. It was fun to spend time together with out working! Day two we did some shopping and headed back home. This time we went on a different scenic route. It was great! It is so amazing how different mountains can look.

Fishing for FHE

We took a break for FHE and went fishing (Nelson's finally got what he has been asking for) instead of working on the house. It was a little warm, but everyone enjoyed it! See the catch of the day...an old hat!:)

Our Help!

Construction Chick...
It is so great having our kids helping us with the house. Sam was excited to "take Nelson's place while his is at scout camp." Lyle thought it was great to have her want to help and learn how to frame a house! (She didn't "get in to it" as much as Nelson does!)
