Monday, October 13th
I absolutely love this picture!! I just think it's a great picture of Sawyer. She looks so much like Joe and she has the prettiest hair ever!!!
I was able to hold her as well! I was excited to hold her but I was so nervous I would drop her on the "hand off"!! I mean seriously, she wasn't even 24 hours old yet - that is the youngest I have ever held a baby - No lie! It was nerve racking - but she was so well behaved! For a little while then I had to hand her back because I think I was making her cry! Anyway - Congrats to the Vrbas fam!!!
A present from Bob while he was pulling us out!Bob sliding around on the road after he pulled us out.
Washing the Dodge. Needless to say, we didn't go and get the rest of the heifers because it just wouldn't have worked!

Feed Rack
Some more cleaning out. I actually did help this day. I believe I cleaned out one hole, possibly two, and then I was either bored or tired. Can't remember which - I just know I wasn't really of much help!
Here Alex is again working. I believe this day we came back and had to re-clean out the holes because it rained and had filled them in again. Yeah, I definitely did not help this day. I had already cleaned out one from the time before so I passed on helping this day!!
I did actually help him load up the railroad ties to be moved over to where the feed rack would be built. I guess I did help a little more than I thought! This is a picture after all the dirt work had been completed.
This is the feed rack. I only took a picture of the part that is actually complete. If it wouldn't have rained I am sure it would have been complete this past weekend - oh well I guess there's always next weekend! Farmer Al
Then we went to the Rocket after we left the farm and this Alex with Dan Haag. I think this is their way of hugging....

House Update
Here is that same wall with the two entry ways made. The one on the left is the new entry way they (Bob and Alex) cut and on the right the entry way was shifted a couple feet to the right. The entry way on the left will lead into the kitchen where the bathroom door will be to the left. There will be a six foot wall between both entry ways that will be easier to see once the rest of the drywall is installed.
Here is the lovely green room!
Here it is blue. In this picture it looks a little more purple but it really is blue. Kathy also pulled up the carpet and will be working on the wood floor.
This is the only decent picture I could actually find to show the difference in the size of the main bathroom. This is before the wall was taken out and I was standing in the kitchen to take this picture. It is sort-of hard to see in this picture but if you look on the right side of the photo you can see a cupboard that is outside of the bathroom...
...and in this picture that same cupboard is inside the bathroom. Right now the new tub/shower is installed and the wood stuff on the floor for the linoleum or tile.
This is a picture of the door on the left that leads to the garage and the basement.
This is now the outline of where a little porch-like area will be when you come up the stairs and then on this side in the kitchen will be cupboards and counters.
This is looking down the stairs towards the basement and the garage.This is now the new "hallway" looking towards the basement and garage.

Phone Photos
Here I was able to snap a picture of Ally sticking out her tongue.
Smelling Grandma Kathy's flowers.
Then riding on the horse. At one point Uncle Alex was riding on the other one with her but of course no photo to prove it!!!

Alex's house
Alex walking up to the front of his house.
Unlocking the house.
This is the living room/dining room as you first walk into the house. I think the plan is to pull up the carpet because there is wood floor beneath. This is a little "window" that goes inbetween the living room/dining room. The design plans have changed many times for the house but I think the last I knew that this would no longer exist. Either this area is going to be the new doorway or else they are just going to cover it up. This is standing at the other end of the living/dining room towards the front door.This is the very first room off to the left when you walk into the house. I think this room is going to be used as an office.This is the purple fairy room. This room will be painted and I think the carpet will be coming up also because there is wood floor underneath. I am not certain if he's going to go with the wood floors or if he will lay new carpet.The closet - not the best picture but both this room and the green room have nice closet spaces.This is the green room. Again, it will be painted and the carpet will come up and either he will lay new carpet or keep the wood floor underneath. Yes, the people that lived there before wrote on the walls.When Alex was telling me about the house and told me that in one of the rooms there was a marijuana leaf drawn on the wall and I couldn't believe it. I told my mom and her exact words were "Are you sure? Maybe it was a palm tree." Yeah, seriously! That Mama Cat sure is a hoot! Anyway, here's a picture of the artwork - it's definitley not a plam tree!Closet (hopefully you could figure that one out on your own but you never know!)This is the start of some demolition in the kitchen. The fridge and dishwasher use to be placed in this area and now the counter and cupboards will be on this side of the kitchen. Stay tuned for pictures as progress is made.There will be a new wall that comes from the door here, where the new counter and cupboards will be.
This is the hallway that leads back to the master bedroom and bathroom.
This is the main bathroom of the house. This is a picture of storage above the bathtub/shower that will be removed.
A picture of the bathtub and that stuff. I believe a new tub/shower will replace the old.
A window in the bathroom that I also believe will be removed. The window looks into the garage. The garage was an add-on and that's why the window is where it is.A big cupboard in the bathroom that has since been removed. The bathroom will be expanding into the kitchen a couple feet. I know it's more than a couple but I don't remember how much exactly. That will be nice since the main bathroom is a little small.
This is the closet in the kitchen, in the hallway on the way to the master room. Alex is going to put his washer and dryer here.
This is the master bedroom after the paneling has been taken off the walls.
The side door of the house. This actually leads into the kitchen. Of course there was a little bit of fun while working on this house. This is an inside joke!
Alex and Tinkerbell
When Hillery was off work she stopped by to see how things were going. I think she was trying to give Tinkerbell a drink in this photo.
We didn't want Alex to be the only cool one with Tinke (that's what we like to call her for short) on his shirt so we joined in on the fun. The purple fairy room is just the purple room now.
