Tile Project

I had time this Saturday morning to put some tile up around the fireplace.

tell ‘em what’s behind that curtain Rod.

IT’S A NEW CAR! Well it is not a new car it’s a new gun. Well it’s not a brand new gun but its a new gun to me. I have been in the market for the last 6 months for a new shotgun. I found one the other day that I thought was a [...]

Generic Costume

Maggie’s brother Bob and son Drew came into town on Saturday afternoon to hang out and have dinner with us. We had a great time and Thomas is just infatuated with Drew. “watch me Drew” he would say over and over. Thomas got to show off all night for Drew. Here they are on the [...]

pumpkin patch

boys like to break things

A while back I created a stepping stool for Thomas. I made it out of cedar and had good luck with the design. It was great cause it was really light in weight so Thomas could carry it and bang it into the trim. It was perfect size for Thomas to sit on it or [...]

Texture

Maggie and I special ordered some natural stone tile to finish the fireplace surround. It finally came in today. I was excited to get it laid out in front of the wood to see how they work together. The tile has a lot of texture and adds a real sense of cut stone. When I [...]

rainy day

Last Saturday we took the boys to Winterset to their annual street festival. After we spend a couple of hours looking at antiques and eating some vender food we have made a tradition of going to the Red Rooster pumpkin patch and getting a tractor ride to the patch to gather pumpkins. Later in the [...]

we got a long way to go, short time to get there

I finally got all of the parts and got the Jeep working. We spent a week of me pushing Thomas around making him steer and pay attention to the road. Then we spent a week in low gear. The Jeep didn’t completely run I had to hot wire some leads to by pass a broken [...]

Burrito

Maggie and I share tubing the boys every night. We have a great time cause both boys love the water, toys and the routine. After the bath I bribe Thomas out of the tub by promissing a burrito. I wrap him up in a towel so that he can’t use his arms then Maggie and [...]
