Building is on the way

Got some rebar and mold wood

...And shovels

The day ended with a nice sunset

The boys are diggin' their new rope swing

Koda's taking notes...

He's a quick learner

Big Brother bonding...

Koda, Jack, & Pepe

Up on the land

View from our soon-to-be front porch.

Jack laying next to some (huge) 'cow patties', in the middle

of our soon-to-be house. (eventual back porch view)

It's pretty difficult to see, but if you look really close

you can find 4 branches sticking out of the ground. These are the corners of 

our house. Starting small and the plan is to add on

a little bit at a time. Work should begin with in 2 weeks or so. 

YIPPY!

David teaching art at one of the local schools

Setting up for class

First things first, let's make a color wheel and learn the 

basics of color mixing...

Getting the primary colors down...then complimentary colors

Next, let's work on drawing/ painting a Still Life 

of fruits and animals...

Looking on with encouragement...

Playground time...

A zoomed in shot, in case you didn't notice there

was a weight bench in the first photo. Classic!

(Mom, I think you'll have some clients when you come to visit)

David working on his Threadless submission. (New desk set up)

David hikes up to the land with all 4 dogs (although you wouldn't know by the photos)

Koda and Pepe (background) seem to like their future home. 

Just wait until we get the dog run fully equip...then 

we'll be having some fun!

Pepe
(can't you hear a sad Journey song playing in the background)

"...Baby Got Back..."

Koda and Marley playing 'follow the leader'

(these two are gonna be a pair of trouble makers)

This is Pepe's facebook photo (if he had an account)

Green and brown - 

Aahh, nature, how we've missed you!

Beginning work on the land...

Starting to level the ground (of the main building site)

Jack, looking sharp in his handkerchief, supervising. Er, not.

You almost feel bad looking at this photo. We
promise that we will only add to the beauty of this land, not destroy it.
We have many plans for tons of trees, plants and vegetables around the property.

The Wilson Family comes to visit the pups.

Interesting night sky

Cute Overload...take two

Sweeties

Koda on David's shoulders

 

Notice Marley's puffy lip and his not so happy 

expression. We think he got bit by something.

Jack's doing his best to comfort him - too cute.

(FYI - the swelling went down the next day.)

 

Looks like someone's ready to be a dad - ha, only kidding.

 

Couldn't resist. If they let us do it, it'll be done.

Jack, Koda, and David
