Our front door is tucked in behind the garage..it's covered..so you aren't exposed to the elements when going from the garage to the house..kind of unique?


East side of the house..you can see our internet tower for wireless...and the play set


East side of the lawn..grass is not good here either.


More front of the house...


Still looking at the front of the house ..the lawn is dying..we're in sand..and you can see where i water..and where it stops. We haven't done too much because they come to black top our driveway on Monday - we figure after that we'll concentrate on the lawn!


Still looking at the front of the house


Front of the house..I fell in love with this when I saw it..It looks like an English garden to me? The front door is in that little alcove behind the garage...


More grass..more neighbors


We mow up to this edge on the west side..and just let everything grow..you can see neighbors across the road from here.


West side of property where the trees meet hte long grass..the kids have paths!


little landscaping in front...


West side of the house..you can see the garage in front of the house from here...


Half way up the stairs looking up at the house..see..it still does not look like a log home???


Sam... and the mature trees on the West side of our lot


Lower lown..we mow back to the pond...


Lower lawn looking up the path that leads up to the deck


Katie is stalking me to get in EVERY picture :)


Lower part of the lawn..that's our bedroom sliding glass door opening onto the deck..below the deck a walkout basement. Basement is unfishined someone is coming this summer to finish off a big room down there so the boys can split up(though I will bet you ANYTHING they just move into the big room down there!) together...


Path leading down to the lower portion of the lawn...you can see we mow it back to the pond


The garden to the west of our house...just outside the dining room window


Looking down our deck...


The back deck has three doors that open on it...the dining room (where I'm standing here) the laundry room (you'll see later) and our bedroom also has a sliding glass door


Messy kitchen counter..we just finished lunch!


The living room..note dishes on counter not picked up yet (I'm behind!) and assorted kids things on the fridge :)


Picture did not turn out because it's so bright ...sitting on the ouch..looking out our front windows...


In the living room..looking into the messy dining room. Katie reclining on the ouch. The sliding door there opens up onto the back deck


We just finished lunch (speghetti) so the house is in disarray..but this is in the living room..looking into the dining room


Up toward the boys room..you can see the ceiling


Stair case going up


Looking up at the loft - where the boys are ALWAYS on the PC


Standing in the front door looking along the stairway into the living room...you can see into the kitchen a little..you can see the loft up stairs the little


Looking into the living room


Just in the front door looking to the right into the living room. There's Katie posing!


Small bathroom.in the hallway downstairs


The laundry room..where the dogs hang out while we work the door is overlooking the back hard and opens onto the back deck


The kids bathroom upstairs


Katie's bedroom...at 5 she has her own computer ..but it's the oldest one..no net access! She has a bright room! But it's being painted pink next week


More of Katie's room..


Boys room..where they play video games


The boys's room - they have outer walls but no logs..all drywalled. I had to be careful how I took this picture - bed wasn't made..things on the floor..they're cleaning it now!


Up in the loft - Matthew and Dominic playing on the kids computer. (after this their mom told them to go clean their room!)

The boys messing around on the back of the boat...


Uncle Rick and Katie on the boat


Aunt mary came along with us for a ride


My brother Pat came along for a ride!


Katie yelling from the front of the boat "Go FASTER!"


Beth WAS in the boat - and to prove it we have this picture...


Nic being pulled today


Look at how long Matt's hair is?


Kate loves to sit up front in the boat and feel the wind!
