Work Ready

Zeke and Robb, outfitted in vintage Craik Lumber hats.

Zeke was excited to get all geared up and go outside today. He wore his sturdy, insulated overalls and got to ride around on the quad "helping" daddy. He even got to pose with one of the new stumps.

A Cabin on the Move

Buster's Cabin. It has been in this location for as long as I can remember. I think it was built before I was born? My family lived in it while working on the "big house" and one summer my cousins and I cleaned it up and slept there for awhile.

It holds a special place in my memories. So, when we chose this as the site for the new cabin, it was a bit weird to know that Buster's Cabin would be moved. Leave it to dad and Larry, those guys can do anything.

They always seem to have the right tools for the job.

Mobile home?

The cabin safely traveled down the hill.

Sleepy Sweeties

After a long day of hard work, nothing is better than a good cuddle.

Timber!

The pro shows us how it's done.

Fire tending is an important part of the day.

Dad shows me how high the new balcony will be.

So, here's the deal; we are putting in a new cabin! Dad told us to find a spot we liked (and suggested a few, of course). We hiked around quite a bit over the weekend, and finally decided that Buster's cabin was already in the perfect spot. Dad and Larry have determined that moving it will be no problem. So, the next step is to clear a view. The guys have been busy at this all morning.

Zeke is pretty excited, because he has watched Dr. Seuss' The Lorax and has been wanted to cut down a tree ever since (I swear I did not plant that idea in his head!). When grandpa felled the first one, Zeke's eyes got super big and he said, "Another one!" We've been teaching him to yell, "Timber!" when the trees fall. Oh, my little logger that will never be...

A Good Morning

This was the face of a very pleased Ezekiel this morning.

And this is why. Snow in April. Gotta love Montana.

Zeke enjoyed hanging out with Great-grandma Edna this morning. The two of them spent some time reading the bible on grandma's iPad. I think he was hoping for Angry Birds or something. :)

Grandma Time

Grandma took plenty of opportunities to get to know little Lincoln.

Men at Work

Today, the guys got down to business. There was plenty of clearing and demolition and all around awesomeness.

And then there was this little rascal. He was busy as well. He has been getting closer and closer to crawling, so things will only be getting more exciting for everyone.

Great Uncle Larry

Looks like Uncle Larry has a new fan club.

He is a great uncle, in so many ways. It turns out that the boys are obsessed with him, and he is a really good sport.

Hugs

This morning the boys got to see their grandparents from the north. When it's been awhile between visits, I always wonder how the boys will do. Lincoln apparently hasn't hit a shy phase yet, because he was doling out the hugs.

Feeding Brother

Today Zeke volunteered to feed Lincoln. It didn't last long, but was so stinkin' cute.
