Addition Has Started

Started our office addition this weekend. Poured the first footing for our wall on Saturday and finished the second part of the footer today. Next we'll get the CMU block wall up before we start the framing. Hope to have the office addition complete in the next month.

My New Friend

I made friends with one of the hummingbirds we have flying around. We got a new feeder last weekend and I wanted to get some pictures of it. I was also hoping to get a picture of a hummingbird in the process and I was successful. The pictures aren't really clear. I need to get more pics and play around with my camera to get the best setting. One hummingbird got really close to me. I thought that he was attracted to my red glasses and that he was gonna give them a taste test. I was really nervous! When he was finished checking me out, he flew away but kept coming back. He didn't mind me sitting there or taking his picture. He must know that I'm the one feeding him. It was definitely the neatest thing!

BTW...the video clip isn't clear. I was trying to be quick so it's a little out of focus. Oh well.

Coati (Evan liked this one. He started giggling when

the Coati started to dig.)

Labor Day Festivities

We had a cookout Labor Day weekend with our neighbors. Jackson was there and the twins across the street came over too. We had the pool out, a blow up trampoline and a fire station. The kids loved it! It was a nice way to end the summer and enjoy the holiday.

Evan and his Buddy

These are pictures of Evan and his buddy Jackson. Jackson lives a couple houses down and he's 4. They both love playing together. Evan really enjoys Jackson's four wheeler and gets excited when we say his name. They look forward to going outside together in the evenings. Here's Jackson holding Evan while riding the four wheeler.

Beer Fest

We went to a Beer Festival this past weekend on the river. It was a nice day and Evan enjoyed running all over. Eric kept him contained most of the time by wearing Evan on his shoulders. Evan really liked that and it made it easy for us. This way we didn't have to chase him everywhere!

Wedding Hair

These are the pictures I took the day of the wedding of Paulina and Gulya getting their hair done. I took some Champagne to the salon to celebrate and help everyone relax.

Pre Wedding Festivities

The girls went to McGuire's for a little celebration a couple nights before the wedding. Good food, good wine and good times!
