Our house

I will start this blog with some pics of the boys.

Jason is already Jake's hero.

Helping dad.

Colin and I seem to go through these phases where we are disconnected from the rest of the world. I apologize yet again for these occurrences. We have been working so hard on the house trying to get things done. It looks great and we sure do love it. The house has become our little retreat from the world around us. It is almost as if it is part of us since we have put so much of ourselves into it. I know it is a possession and it is sick to look at material objects like that, but we do love our house. So, I think it is about time I give you a bit of a tour. It isn't complete yet, but I will post more over time. This is just the area of the house we live in. The basement is unfinished and full of our stuff that really should be in storage. It is a walk out basement though and goes out to a patio and a huge yard. We also have a one car garage that is sooooo full of stuff, we are taking most of it to the dump tomorrow. It will be another busy weekend for us. Anyway, enjoy the video tour and try not to listen to my goofy commentary...............

Doc

We just got back from Jakes 6 weeks appointment and he is a big boy. He is 11 lbs 7 oz and 22 in long. Jacob is my baby chunky monkey. I hope all of you have a great week and I will post more pics soon.............

Big Weekend

WOW!!! It has been a busy few days. As I last reported we had an opportunity for a plane ride. We had Jason all excited for it. Ben sent a text saying he was 20 min out and we were off to the airport. Jason was pumped. We got there and went out to the airplane when a big FedEx plane took off.... SUPER LOUD!!! Jason freaked and changed his attitude completely. He began to cry and wouldn't even sit in the cockpit. BUMMER DUDE!!! When we asked him if he wanted a ride, he replied... I don't think so.... It was kind of funny. So, we didn't let that ruin our fun. Colin went up first. Ben and his friend Brandon took him on a really great ride. It was clear skies and beautiful out. They did some Zero gravity stuff even.... It was a blast. Then it was my turn and they did the same for me.... While we were up we got to watch the sun set... Casper sure is a lot prettier from above. After the fun, we all went to dinner and caught up on the last 5 years.... It was a good time and we can't wait to see Ben again...... By the way, for those of you that know him... he hasn't changed a bit.... He is still so much fun and always has a joke... You know what I mean.

Colin going up and looking back at us... Jason is still crying.

Zero gravity... watch the map.

Macho Ben.....

Notice the crying little man.


The Moody men.


Brandon, Ben and Colin ready for flight.

The next day it was time to work on painting. We had the second coat and trim. It was sooooo hot. We finished the second coat and saved the trim for Sunday. Saturday night our friends Dan, Maddie, Brady and Karen came over. It was nice to see them and have a little bbq and relax. We needed it since Sunday the painting marathon continued. That is what we did all day Sunday. But today the boys and I think we can finish. There are only 3 windows and 2 doors left. We are sooooo close. Then it is on to the repair work on the lawn from Moe Damage... Beagles are crazy diggers. I hope all of you had a great weekend. I will have more updates soon... Jake has an appt tomorrow so we will know how much the little Buddha weighs. Take care and enjoy your week.............

Keeping cool in the sprinkler... it is 7:30am.

An over heated Buddha boy.... he was soooo hot.

Look how high Jacob can hold his head.

Flight

Just wanted to update you all on some exciting news.... Jason gets to go for his first airplane ride tonight. Thanks to Sheena we were able to connect with an old friend... Ben Ellis. He is working on his commercial pilots licence and is coming into town tonight. Colin and Jason are going up with him. It should be a really good time. I will take a ton of pics and post them when we take a break from painting the house this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smiling

The Moody brothers.

There is so much to smile about here. The pictures speak for themselves. We couldn't be having more fun. Last weekend we took our first trip for quite some time..... it was the first time I have been out of Casper since Christmas. I must say it was a needed day. We went to Laramie to see my cousin Savanna graduate from college with a chemical engineering degree. I wish I had pics, but I didn't have my camera. I will post some when my mom and dad e-mail them to me. Anyway, it was a good trip. Mom, Dad, Colin, the boys and I crammed into a car and drove down avoiding closed roads and making it in enough time to eat before the ceremony. It was so cool to see Sas walk across that stage. We also realized that she was the only socially capable person that was on the stage. It was pretty funny. But, not much else new here, the boys keep us busy. This weekend the weather is supposed be nice so Colin and I are going to attempt to finish painting the outside of the house... keeping our fingers crossed that the two young men allow that to happen. I hope all of you enjoy the pics. Congrats Sas!!! And I will have more pics soon.........
