House for Sale!!

We did it! Finally our house is on the market. We're trying a for sale by owner first to see what happens. We've already had two groups come through to look at it and one that might call us with an offer this week. Wow. Here are some photos. Now if we can only keep it looking this nice. If you know of anyone looking....let us know!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day morning was spent at the Gibbs Cemetery in Sherwood. The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars honored Nathan's grandfather, "Tony" Knight. Virtually all the Knights turned out to pay their respects and visit family members who are also buried there. You can see from the group photo how extensive Nathan's family is, most are pictured but there are still others that weren't in the photo. Now you might get a grasp on just how LARGE our holiday gatherings are!!

It was a bit of a cold day but a very nice ceremony. The group shot below is Bruce (Nathan's dad) and all but one of his siblings. We all went out to breakfast afterwards; the kids had a great time running around and visiting with each other.

Nine Two Cans

Had to include this in the blog site. Evelyne has this simple little counting book where it has pictures of animals and a number attached to it. So, it shows the number 1 and has one lion head, shows the number 2 and has two snakes etc. She is really into numbers these days and loves to try to figure out what number is what (must get the number thing from her dad). Anyway, we can never get past number nine however. The photo shows toucans. Now, obviously whoever wrote the book wasn't thinking this all the way through. So we see nine and she's always confused by the "two cans." Yesterday, after getting to page 9 she said "nine five cans" and trying to explain it for the thousanth time I just laughed and she laughed and we read that page over and over again and just laughed, someday she'll get it.

Parties, parties

Summer is officially beginning, at least the summer schedule of outdoor parties and activities...love it and can't wait for more!




Dinner for my dad's birthday in Sherwood. We took a walk up the hill to get a great view of the surrounding area on such a nice evening.





Luke Hovde's Birthday, daddies were in charge of entertainment....looks like Doug was being properly hydrated for the task.














For nathan's birthday this year we had a tiki party barbeque outside and....yes it rained! These photos were taken before the deluge.





Happy Birthday Nathan!
