RANCH UPDATE - We have walls!

Took these shots on earlier this week.
Random order.
This is the view looking into the second bedroom from the living area. Looking across the living room (standing in the master bedroom doorway) and into the second bedroom. The drywall guy was hard at work.

SLC pics

Me at the Family History Library. This place is a Genealogy Library on steriods!

Me at the Family Search reception - they had this photo op setup. All the other attendees sat on the barrel.. not me I opted for the action pic.

The concert hall at Temple Square.

The view from my hotel room. There was snow on the mountains.

We had a wide variety of weather this week. Sun, dust storm with vicious winds, snow, sleet, hail. It was quite an exciting weather week - I was glad I was just walking a half-block for meetings.

The Ranch - update

I just got back from Salt Lake City where I attended the National Genealogical Society annual conference. (Watch for an additional post.)

While I was gone, Dan and Kendyl spent time at the ranch working and the sheetrockers were busy working in the house section.

I just wanted to post the latest documented occupant at The Ranch - he lives in the gully. Dan captured this picture yesterday.

April 3rd - Saturday at the Ranch - Happy Birthday Kendyl!

Easter Bunny brought me a new PTO post hole digger. It works great!
Built a new cross fence.


the awesome Fence-Builders.

Kendyl got to do alot of the tractor work since it was her birthday. She is getting really good on the big tractor. She moved alot of dirt for us and drove the T-posts with the bucket. Not to mention using the post hole digger too.

Driveway & Sidewalk

Found out at 10:00a that the concrete was going down at around noon. Flew out the door and drove to the ranch. At 11:30a on 3.31.2010 - it was down and the crew was doing the finishing work.

WOW! It will be good to not have to tromp through knee high mud & mud puddles to get to the door.

We have Bluebonnets, Wildflowers & and a Beaver!

A field of wildflowers. (I guess the cows always ate them before.)

The beaver chewed down our tree near the tank!

Electricity & Sunset

Dan is standing just to the left of the tractor door. You can see the house inside the barn and Big Daddy there too. We had just finished working the the dirt in front of the door. Getting ready to pour the concrete pad.

We have outside lights too.

These were taken looking west from the lower pasture.

Took these pictures on 3.14.2010 at around 7:45p.
