Rednexican Style!

A couple weeks ago Kameron had a shift change, and allowed him to have a 4 day weekend. It was fall break, and my brother and his family were up at the cabin, so my parents as well and Kameron and I made a trip so the boys could do some work. They had to reseal the outside logs to protect it through the winter. While us girls did some shopping, and the kids played!

Anastyn LOVED being outside, and Miss Lexie Lou was so helpful and played with her and watched her while they were out playing. They are watching the boys on the roof working!

Lexie, Anastyn, and Jadie Jadie pretty lady! Love these girls!!

We had the camera's on hand, because with the tricks these guys were doing, was a little scary, and well...it was a youtube video waiting to happen. Redneck style....Ghetto rigged, whatever you want to call it. I like to refer to it as Rednexican style!! The above picture the boys hang the ladder from a tree on the other side of the cabin so they could suspend themselves and get to a hard to reach spot....

...and this is the view from the bottom! Seriously, it was a little nerve wrecking. One snap, and they would have fallen all the way to the ground. It looks like the deck would catch them, but it wouldnt have. The picture is decieving...they would have gone straight to the ground. I kept 911 on speed dial just in case.

This was from the front of the house...yeah, Kameron was always the one suspended with his life in danger. Crazy men. Luckily no injuries were sustained during the re-coating process. It took 2 full days, and a lot of sore muscles later before everything was done.

Other fun tid-bits...Porter has been begging me almost every night, including mentioning it in his prayers to go visit his Uncles and Grandma and Grandpa Lee, or for them to come visit us. Since we were working on the cabin we couldnt stay up there, but Aunt Kamarie and Grandma met us half way to take him to play in St Johns for a couple days. He had so much fun with his cousins, and playing outside. I thought it might take care of that fix for a while, but he is already back to asking to go back or for them to come here. =)

I also got to meet up with a good friend of mine Tera for lunch one afternoon in Show Low! She just had a baby so I got to get a little baby fix, and man was Cashy boy adorable!! Makes me want one...kinda. HA. But as usual it was a couple hours full of laughing our butts off. We always have so much fun! So grateful for those kind of friends who you only see a couple times a year, but when you get together its like we never skipped a beat. Thanks Tera for coming over from Taylor, it was great to see you and your beautiful new boy!

And lastly, on Friday night we made the trip over to St Johns to pick up Porter and to watch my little brother in law Konner, be a Rockstar on the football field.

After watching him tear it up with 4 touchdowns and a touchback, we only got to say a quick hi before heading back to Pinetop! I love getting to watch him play, and am so glad we were able to make it to atleast one game since we live so far now.

Porter with his Uncle Nonner! =) Of course he is old enough that he actually calls him Konner now, but I still like to call him Nonner because...lets face it, it was a really sad day when Porter said it the right way. This little boys sure loves his Uncles! And I am so glad he has such good boys to look up to.

After settling back home I realized that I wish we werent 5 hours from the cabin, because there is nothing like hanging out in the mountains with the windows open, cuddling up in a sweatshirt and boots, and relaxing. I cant wait to make another trip once it starts snowing!!!
