Birthdays & Projects

On Thursday, Bill & I headed to Corvallis for a Dr appointment, and then hit Home Depot for some supplies for the bathroom in the basement. Bill started on Friday AM putting up some walls, and working on the layout.

Friday started early, with kids getting schoolwork finished so they could help make a special cake. Kristin had help finishing her work this morning!

Robert's birthday was on Wednesday....so we celebrated on Friday with a few close friends. We had ice cream cake with the O'Hara's & the VonRuden's. We had a nice visit, and lots of laughs.

Kimberly made Robert a special egg for his birthday.......
Alexis & Kristin managed to get an overnighter worked out--and they were asleep within 30 minutes of everyone leaving. They slept until 7:30 or 8:00 and then had some breakfast. Bill was teasing Alexis because her hair kept hitting her cereal bowl, and we thought it would be drug through her milk...so Bill helped her out with a clothes pin!

The girls headed outside after breakfast, and it was about 10 when they came back in, cold, and decided to snuggle under blankets on the couch and visit with some girl talk. They weren't there very long until both of them were sleeping!! They had a two hour nap, and then spent the rest of the day hanging out.

Chance, JayDee & Jeremy
Bill worked in the basement, until friends Jami & Jeremy came over, bringing their shepherd Chance. We've decided to give JayDee an opportunity to have a litter before we have her fixed. They are both inexperienced, but did enoy hanging out together today. We'll get them together tomorrow, and see how they do.
Chance...isn't he beautiful??
