A close-up of our first ever TOMATO. I am sure that it will ripen up in my new greenhouse.















TA DA.........The finished product. Tomorrow, the door. Kurt is making it from scratch. Isn't he the greatest!!!!!

Finally,...some help

Marc was helping put the plastic around the greenhouse.

















Hope this works!!!!

Future Greenhouse

Kurt has been so busy around the beach/forest house. Now, he is building us a greenhouse. We can't grow tomatoes or cucumbers because it doesn't get hot enough......Sooooo, we are hoping that this will help. Carrots are going in the hot house tomorrow...

our Booth in Waldport...............

Marc re-arranged our booth and it ooks great. People actually walk into the booth and look at the bags. Today, we sold ONE bag.....OY

Farmer Debbie

Can you see all the sugar snap peas hanging off the bush! They were delicious....

A little late......

MARLA.....this is for you!

Great memory....we all had a blast making them.

Yipeeeee........Its Here.....Its Here

At long last, its finally here. Kurt and I researched until we were blue in the face before we got our hot tub....

Let me tell you how good these kids were. I wouldn't let anybody in the tub until Kurt could get in first.
















Only fair, right.....He did all the work himself, he deserved the honor.

The kids didn't nag me once. They were FINE with it. Honestly, they were amazing.









You put your right foot in, you put your left foot in......they soak, soak and soak some more.....

Wasn't that tough........

Luckily, it wasn't as tough as Kurt thought it would be. There were two guys and that was helpful.

Our own fireworks show!

Its a ritual that Kylie gets a fireworks show on her b-day....




















Well, we had to wait one more day til Grandpa was there, but it was an awesome show.














Sparklers are always a hit!

She's 15.........

In spite of her mom and dad being out of town, she had a good day on her birthday.

















MacKenzie is more excited for her to open her presents than she was...
















Can you tell that Kylie put some very grown up make-up on Kenz?

Frisbee Searching

So, here was the story from Mr. Levi. He was throwing the frisbee for Faja, and a HUGE gust of wind came up and the frisbee landed across the street.

Thank goodness, cause they don't make these frisbees anymore. We need to keep track of each and every one.













They are searching down the mountain! Made me a nervous wreck.

Ms...Kylie Day Shields....

Meet my temper tantrum, trouble-making, totally teenage granddaughter.........This was her reaction to getting on the boat..... She did not get on the boat, and neither did I.

Red, White and Blue......

Passing the time......

Marc took the kids on the "Misty" to watch the celebration of the fireworks.

They went down below the deck due to coldness..














Miss "ta da" star and Mr. "smiles"...Never have I been around a child who has this wonderful temperament.

Concrete........

We waited a long time for this day. The first steps to the hot tub.

















Marc arrived just in the nick of time.

















Kurt looks on approvingly at his good work. He is amazing.....He did all the electrical, plumbing, and concrete prep work.

He is standing on the future pump house expansion.

Marc's Here!!!!!

Don't think we are going to make him sleep in the tent........:)

His new home is the RV. We are really happy to have him here.



















Faja is especially happy!!!
