Mama's visit and water wheel

Mama and Brandon flew up on the 29th of May. The following weekend we took the camper and went to Yellowstone National Park. It rained pretty much the whole time we were there but we did have some dry time to enjoy a campfire.

Brandon and Fred built a water wheel. I helped some by cutting some of the boards for it. It is pretty cool to sit and watch the wheel go.

The pictures are out of order but I think you can figure out which is which :)

Fort and porch roof

Brandon decided to build a fort...

He's driven every nail himself. Looking good Brandon!

Here is the new porch roof we added to the house. The wood was all cut on the sawmill.

Spring Snow Storm April 29-30 2010

We had a Spring Snow Storm starting yesterday. When we left home Thursday morning, it had just started to snow. When we left work Thursday evening it was snowing in town but there was hardly anything on the ground. The closer we got to the house, the more snow there was.

The pictures are out of order, but the last ones were of when we got home. The others are of today when we woke up. Needless to say, we did not make it to town to go to work. Our power was out for about 15 hours.

The snow measured anywhere from 17 inches to 48 inches depending on where you measured. The deepest was around the garage where the snow had fallen off of the garage.

These were taken Thursday after we got home from work.
