Moir Dam Work

Saturday afternoon we spent surveying what will keep us busy in the upcoming months. Here is a quick glimpse of what's in store. *NOTE: these pictures are of 3 different dams*

This is part of the massive spillway @ this particular dam

I'm a little overwhelmed at the terrain on the backslope. James certainly has his work cut out for him on the front slope! Nice booty shot huh?

Lots of trees but not to bad, we spent the afternoon working on this dam today. Stay tuned for AFTER shots.

BEST JOB...

I have the best job! Besides mowing up and down the front and back slopes of dams; I have been asked to care for 2 of the sweetest kiddos, Lucas and Halli. Here is a quick glimpse of some of the fun we are having! :)

Practice makes perfect right?!

We enjoyed spending this past weekend with our nephew and niece, Jacob and Emma. We had a weekend full of activities. Here is Emma at the Ferris Pioneer Days, she just slid down a really big slide.

Jacob and our newest critter,9 wk old Dottie. And yes his ear is still intact! :)

Jacob and Emma are such wonderful kids, we decided why not add 3 more to the group. James defintely had his work cut out pulling 5 kids around in the wagon.

Here is our "spooktacular" dessert we all helped make. Such a fun night with all the kiddos. :)

East Texas Visitation

Yes, that is our 4 yr old nephew, Jacob & his sister Emma, driving the 4 wheeler with James in tow! We enjoyed our Sunday afternoon at First Monday in Canton and then on to Edgewood for some family fun.
