Painting and Staining-- Done!






Now that we have stain on the outside of our addition, and paint on the walls on the inside, we are finally seeing the end in sight!

Bennett's First Tractor Ride



Bennett has been watching his brother, Blake, get tractor rides all summer. Well, it was finally HIS turn, and he was in awe of the noise the engine made and sitting behind the steering wheel.

Dust





This week "dust" has been the motto in our house. Normally I don't care for all that much dust, but since the cause of this dust means we have sheetrock on our walls-- it's okay. The outside of the house has also been sided and we look forward to it being stained this week. Our goal is to have everything complete by the middle of September-- just in time for bow hunting to start:)

Remodeling





We are definitely seeing more progress inside our house now. They have taken the kitchen apart and knocked out the wall between the new addition and the existing house. It is exciting to see the changes and to imagine what it will look like when it is completed. There have been lots of workers and noise at our house the past week. Our temporary kitchen is set up in the basement in the computer room. I kind of feel like a college student again :)!

Fun at the Fair








It's that time of year again! Yep, the Buffalo County Fair was going on this past weekend, and like in other years we ventured out with the boys to see the sights, take in the sounds, and taste the delicious food!

First stop was the animal barns where we saw rabbits, chickens, cows, horses, and sheep. After the boys had seen the animals we went and ate some delicious charcoal chicken and sweet corn. Blake was very anxious to get on the rides, and quickly devoured his food.

Blake went on two rides this year--the alligator roller coaster and the mini ferris wheel. He loved them both and talked about them for awhile after ward.

Our final stop, and might I say the most important one, was the malt stand! What a great way to end a great evening at the fair!

Our Pet?


Well it has been over a month since we last posted about our foxy friend, Boots. He/she has still been coming around at least twice a day to see us and try to get some treats (a.k.a. bread) from us. We think it is still living at the end of our driveway somewhere in the woods. When we are outside playing it will come out and greet us. Lately, Boots has been coming right up onto our deck to get some food. I snapped this photo the other morning when it came up. Is it safe to say that Boots is now our pet?
