Joe's Concert tonight! I thought he was so cute!
Well we are done with our contractor. He's fulfilled his contract. We asked him to widen the door but he didn't have time. He said call him in three weeks. David and I decided we could do it ourselves or David decided he could do it himself. We had a little difficulty the first day. But it's nothing we can't fix.


Friday we started out at a reception at the Art Center in the Bamboo room, for the court, escorts and parents. It was alot of fun with good
people, food and lots and lots of pictures. Then off to Hamley's for dinner and then to the dance.

I think I like them especially the high definition texture!
I found this plate and placemat at Shopko. I thought I was done with blue. But I just can't help myself. And don't worry rooster Basher's across America if I use this plate it will probably be the only rooster in my kitchen. I just loved the colors especially the teal blue or turquoise.
We hope to install the stove sometime this weekend if David can squeeze it in.
Ashley Spratling was born September 8, 1989 @ 5:30 AM She was 10lbs 2 ozs. And just as beautiful as could be. She still is!
Last weekend we went down to Nick and Sarah's for our last little break before returning to school. We had a wonderful visit. We shopped till we dropped. Which doesn't take much.
Saturday we went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, OREGON. All I can say is WOW! It was wonderful we were there for 6 hours and could have spent more time. It was definately worth our time and money. What a beautiful facility!
They have a 747 just parked. You can walk under it climb on it. (At least there wasn't a sign saying you couldn't).
Nick and Joe were trying to figure out how the wheels fit up inside of the plane. Here's Sam getting sucked into the engine!
Great Weekend and visit with Nick and Sarah!
Not so wonderful looking but it felt great! Looks like I could use a wax job too!
Progress?




This is the first year Sam has worked all day harvest. He is the new stubble buster. Joe graduated to truck driver.
We had about 8 hours of harvest left and it rained, about and 1 1/2 inches. It was actually a blessing in a big way for me. David was able to help me paint the kitchen Saturday. We painted all day! I couldn't have done it by myself.
We painted this room with country cream This picture is more true to life.
This is the Country Cream it looks lighter than it is.
Here's a few pictures of our new home. We have been trying to get some video, but it's not working. We'll keep trying. Guess you guys will just have to come visit us! Love you and miss you ~Ben and Cindy
First we took the stove apart as much as we could. Then we took off the door molding and found this lovely notch in the door. That was how they got this beast in here. We were so grateful to not have to tear out a wall.
We pushed it through the living room (it has wheels). Took the sliding door out and the supports, then used plywood to get it through the door and down the steps of the deck. Once we got it to the lawn we used the plywood to roll it to the driveway. David and Andy hooked it up to the bucket of the tractor and took it for a ride to the shop where it is awaiting a new home. Anyone interested?
