a deck...

We built a deck...

The deck is near the spa, right off our bedroom door and deck. It was a bit of a waste of space that the dogs would lay in to get nice and dirty.

framing...

Shawz working hard...

Bear Bear and Woody both enjoy it... laying and playing on it before it was even finished... they still have plenty of dirt to roll around in... so don't worry about them.

relaxing and sitting for the 1st time in 6 hours... a long but productive day!


It's Done!!!
My husband is soooo handy!

Halloween- fly on a wall

Halloween...

a wall and a fly... a fly on a wall.

kinda creepy at times...
mostly funny...

BUZZ!!!!

We had fun being cheezy.

Shaw's wall was legit (maybe a little heavy) complete with an outlet and a light switch. I had the correct numbers of legs and buzzed around all night.

This was Shaw's 1st Halloween home for 4 years... and a fun one it was!

Our Trip to Oroville

This past weekend we went up to see my grandma and grandpa Schlecht. It has been a long time since seeing them and the 5 1/2 hour drive up wasn't too bad but wish we lived a little closer.

Saturday was their 64th wedding Anniversary... :)

We got a tour of the houseboat which is about 2-3 weeks away from launch date... A big storm on the lake sunk it about 2 1/2 years ago.

The inside is much bigger and it is looking great! Putting it back together has been a family affair... which is the perfect name still after all these years! and One more time which was the name of my dad's boat!

Us 3 (thanks Shaw for taking the picture)

Saturday morning we decided to go on a the Feather Falls hike. 6th tallest waterfall in the US. I have been up to Oroville about 20 times and haven't ever done the hike.

a small fall one the way. it was about 9 miles round trip.

MADE IT!

pictures really don't do it justice... it was very tall and pretty cool.

Proof we made it...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the visit and all the yummy food.

And Happy 64th Anniversary.

Foo Man and Choo

We did it... got new kitties!!!

Meet the newest members of the family...

Foo Man

Choo

We adopted them from the farmers market in Templeton... walked down on a Saturday morning to get some artichokes for lunch and came back with 2 kittens... no artichokes...

We adopted them from the humane society and Shaw wheeled and dealed... got 2 for the price of one $75... then Shaw raised the price and gave them an extra $25 for donation. They are all done with shots and got the baby maker parts eliminated.

They are pretty fun. Sleep a lot and love to hide under the bed. They are slowly getting to know the dogs and are getting more brave everyday.

They are very quarky and strange... kinda like shaw and sweet and cuddly... just like me!!!

Once again the proud parents of 2 dogs and 2 cats... ahh. the responsibilities!!!

Sammy and Sinbad...

We have had 2 losses in the family... one good one bad...

Sammy is no longer with us... She is in Kitty heaven. We are not really sure what happened but our guess is she ate something posinous. We found her 2 weeks ago Saturday morning... and she's buried under the tree in the fround yard. She was a good kitty and I miss her. Poor timing... we just put in a kitty door... Maybe more kittens??? We can't seem to decide.




On a happier note... Sinbad has a new life... He's is now a part of the Weatherby family. He has a nicer and bigger cage, new light and water bowl... Conner and Dana are being great pet parents and are loving it... As for Brenda and Adam... A snake is the easiest pet to have so they are also happy. Oh yeah... and with his new life... he has a new name... Felipe.




Our good doggies!!!


Bear Bear and Woody

It's Official!!!

Whahooo the house is ours!

Let the small projects begin...

Question... are black berries that are hanging over the fence into the shared alleyway fair game to pick and eat... especially if the people who own that property don't even live there?!?!

That's what I thoughts... they are tasty! =)

all settled... and in love!

Our New House!!! We all love it!

Oh Bear Bear

Woody

Sam is a happy kitty now-

She had a tough week and 2 days staying inside-

she couldn't make it the full 2 weeks (and either could we)

It is a very relaxed place to chill out... Templeton gets a great little breeze that runs right through the house! We have had a few little BBQ's and it fits everyone perfectly!

We are still awaiting our final Short Sale Approval from the Bank. But are really ready to sign and make this place truely ours! We will be happy here for many years!!!

PS. we love visitors!!!
