Sneak Preview of THE WALL!

David framing the garage side of the wall, this side is going to be drywalled for fire safety.
Pap's amazing work, at least I think it is, I am so proud of him

Gerry is going to stucco inside the arches, and each arch is going to have a light in it. There is also a door going into the garage, but I forgot to take a picture of that.


Here are the stairs going up, Freddie is seeing how fast he can get away. This is what you see when you come in the back door.



Here Gerry and Ben are laying a piece of hardwood flooring, they are going to tile around it.



The Breukelman way to move a Greenhouse

Since we are moving the garden to a different spot, I wanted to have the greenhouse moved to where the new garden is going to be. But I didn't realize is was going to happen this way. OOPS! Dropped a side!
Back on track. I actually felt bad for all the guys, because it was quite windy too. But I was very thankful to them all for moving it for me! Everything is done manually here as you can see!!!!

Four of the Youngest Canadian Grandchildren

Seth, Hope, Freddie and Janelle all having a yan on the couch!
Morgan and Kyra were over for lunch on Sunday and enjoyed dressing up as well.

Jayda proudly wearing her crown - the wand is missing the top (they never last long here)


Freddy get a big bang sitting in boxes or laundry baskets!



Iris wante to try out the heels outside - wasn't easy running in them!




A Week at Tracy and Paul's

We spent a week at Tracy and Paul's because Pap had a job to do there; put rock on a house in Coaldale. Here they are scratching the bottom of the posts outside, preparing them for rock installation. Betty had holidays so she came along to help Pap. It was windy, windy, windy for two days, so that slowed the progress down considerably.
Sethy airing out his little behind, b/c he had a bad rash!

Everytime we got near the sink, there was Seth with his stool - he was so anxious to help. He just loved doing the dishes!


Oma reading the boys a story!



Opa keeping Seth busy with a book. We had a wonderful time in Coaldale - being there for a week gave us all some great bonding time! Thanks once again for everything!




Paul & Tracy were out for the Weekend

The kiddies having supper! Tracy and Paul were out for a weekend, and since we already have a house full, they stayed at Angela and Wally's. But supper at Opa and Oma's place is a must.
Discussing with Paul after work!

Ciny supervising that all the kids are eating!


Dressing up altogether in the playroom and then snacking! Yum!



Opa high up on the scaffold in Gerry & Karen's house finishing the chimney. The result is stunning - but I don't have a picture!




Company at Opa and Omas

Here is the witch who is living at our house at the moment. Her broom isn't as magic as she would like it to be.
Digging for old bricks for the fireplace. Jayda and Freddie were great helpers.

Freddie watching his helium balloon going up in the sky. He was not impressed though!


There it goes - didn't take long!



He was so fond of his balloon that he even took it into the tub. Very possessive! But of course, they do get soft after a couple of days - and Freddie's balloon was no exception - so we decided to let it fly before there was no helium left.
