(I finally broke down and bought a new camera... wish I would have done it a few weeks ago so I'd have pictures of halloween...)
After Scott worked and we cleaned the house (and I went to a class that Don Aslett spoke on cleaning :) ) and the boys went to a Primary activity, we took the kids out to our lot. We bought the 5 acres at the end of last year... about 5 days before Scott was called as a counselor in our ward. Our intentions at that time were to build immediately but after the calling we felt like we needed to wait and so we are still waiting... then we thought we'd start this next spring... but, we really like our ward and who knows what is going on with the economy and the housing market so we may continue to wait. While we wait we enjoy going out and spending time together. My dad brought a tractor down a few weeks ago and they knocked the weeds down. We wanted to make a bike trail with the tractor but it had a flat (one Saturday when everything seemed to go exactly opposite of how you would have hoped) so Scott made some jumps with his shovel and the boys are in Heaven. It is fun to go out and enjoy being able to be loud. The dog loves the space.
Scott started to pick up the few rocks that we have on the land... we will need to make another Saturday activity to pick all the rocks up.
So glad you got a new camera and we can keep up with you on the blog again! I could really relate to your fun at your big lot. We used to come out to our place each Saturday before we built the house. Scott will remember those days, I'm sure. Looks like the kids are loving it. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love to all, Loye
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't I invited to this cleaning talk?? You know I need it worse than you!
ReplyDeleteScott, you're just a kid at heart. you got quite a bit of air there on that jump!!
ReplyDeleteHunsakers,
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I did not know that you had bought land. That is going to be so fun with your kids. So, where is it? I can totally understand the part about what to actually do with it now. We currently have 5 acres of mud. Klade has spent the past 3 saturdays on the tractor all day, but it doesn't seem like there is much progress being made. (Don't tell him I said that) So, are you going to come visit us next time you are in the area?
