Of the 4 grand kids, my princess is the one who loves worms the most I think.

Time for a break and a quick picture...one with a surprise visitor! Good timing if you ask me!

Just a quick break on the swing...

I better try out the slide.

Back to the grindstone!

Trimming the bushes....

A demonstration of how they work....

Team work!!

Up, up and away....

The dogs love the new deck....it is a fun place to lay and take in everything....

Well someone went down the driveway so she had to go to keep an eye on them.

Tim working...

Just look how straight our line is....ha,ha,ha

Just chillin..or should I say still chillin...

Still working ;o)

Chillin....

Fun Family Videos....

We went to Roaring Springs the other day for some fun filled family time...Here are the only two videos I took...

After, After and Before

Ok once again my pictures are out of order...but hey that is ok. These are the "After" pictures of our big trees after they were trimmed. Yes I was sad because we not only took the squirrels playground, but I'm sure some of their food storage.
This is the "After" "After" picture...Yep we are good on firewood for this year... and we didn't even have to leave the yard...Living off the land and loving it!!

Here is Tim chopping wood...I like the good old fashion way but he said it would take to long...

Hollie helped Tim with the chopping but for some reason I don't have any pictures of that.

TJ got or chose the job of staking the wood. Me and the grand kids helped a little

You thought we were almost done.... Look at that pile!

Keep on smiling, Keep on smiling....

Ok here is our fun stack after we were done chopping...

Not to bad I don't think....

Ok these are just the tree limb/branches mind you...so I got this idea after all of the big ones were chopped so I used a medium one...yep I used a gas can to show the size...don't ask why I have no idea ;o)

Ok we are to the "Before" pictures now... Look at all those branches...

TerrieBeth thinks the deck looks bigger now and I say it is just because the trees look smaller.

I took some before pictures of some of the other trees in the yard but they didn't change a whole lot.

This is the one that changed the most.

The one by the garage...changed some but I forgot to take an After picture.

Now you know why we have some many leaves to rake in the Fall...Can't wait until the Grand kids come over to play...cough, cough...I mean work ;o). I got your back guys...it will be fun just don't tell Grandpa!!!
