Bronco Baby

Anyone who knows Tim knows he is obsessed with old broncos. I personally could care less about them. His dad had one, but sold it a few years ago. Tim was too young to buy it then. When we first started dating he would tell me stories about family trips they would take across the mountain in the bronco. So since then I have been on the look out for one. He wants a specific model, but really could care less about anything eles. Right now in the garage he has a motor just waiting on a body. Once he even told me that it could be rusty and four different colors just as long as it was the right model. At the time even the thought of a multi color vechicle was horrible. I am a very matchy matchy kinda girl! Anyway I look on http://www.craigslist.com/ and some other site regularly in hopes of finding that special bronco. A few weeks ago I found the new concept broncos for 2009.

Uh Oh

I just wanted to share this story. On this four wheeling trip Tim's dad lost his phone in a mud hole. Apparently he hit the mud so hard that his phone clip broke. Everybody thought it was gone for sure.....

.....but Tim's dad jumping off and started feeling for it........

......after a few minutes Tim decided to help...... and sure enough they found it. I was pretty sure that it would never work again, but his dad took it apart and used a hair dryer to fix it. It worked another 6 months before he had to replace it!

The Garage

Everyone or almost everyone has heard me talk about the garage. Tim's family is building a garage behind their house with an apartment in the top for him. Tim started this project July 4th, 2007 and its still in process. I had no idea what a long process this would actually be. These pics are from last summer when everything was going fast. It has come a long way since (i will post pics soon) and is still not finished. As of today it still lacks interior doors, kitchen appliances and furniture. We don't have anything moved in yet. Now for the postive...... the walls are up and painted, the flooring is almost done with the exception of the bathroom, the air/heat unit is in and working and we have most of the furniture (in storage)! Tim is ordering the interior doors today and hopefully he can have those in by the end of the week. I sure hope so because my sister's wedding is this weekend and we will be out of town. Lowe's has become my new favorite store! lol Okay not really, but we have spent a lot of date nights there lately. Pretty sure the staff knows us on a first name basis. I promise to post some updated photos soon.

Mart decided to help the kids finish their project.

Tim and Shawn were supervising!

Look at little Leah in the sand (I think she was supervising them)

The kids just liked playing in the sand.

Bethany was hard at work.

They were over there a pretty good while before anyone knew they were missing ( I guess thats what we get for letting the men watch the kids).

Keith was living danderously. Pretty sure he wasn't using a saftey harness.

Tim was taking a break. It was so hot this day that I only came out to take pictures and went right back in. I am not an outdoor kinda girl

Leighton was helping Bethany and Hannah build a ladder up to the window. I promise those children worked for about an hour on the ladder. At the end they actually had a made a fairly functional object. Apparently Leighton has been paying attention!

So many people have helped with the garage.

Obviously, Papaw Thurman and Mart did not come to help this day. They crack me up! Papaw is showing his cane off!

I can remember being there on this day. I just kept thinking work faster work faster I want a to put up a Christmas tree this year! Well we didn't get our first Christmas tree, but it has come a long way since this day.

If you had told me on this day that it would be more than a year later before we could even think about moving furniture in I would have laughed at you. However, here we are over a year later and yet to move in the first piece of anything.

Just me

I am thinking that I need to darken my hair back. Kristy did her's last night and it makes me want my dark hair back! I can't decide though so I need your help. Here are some pics of me with dark hair and light. Let me know which you like better.

Cassie & Josh

Cassie and Josh are getting married on September 20th. Here are some recent pics of them.
