Busy and productive weekend!

Blake has been building a patio for our backyard. He has done a phenomenal job on it. I love it!! Every day when I am in the kitchen, either washing dishes or just looking out my backyard window, I am soooo very thankful God blessed me with a husband that is so talented and so incredibly wonderful. Blake could definitely go into the construction business with how professional this patio is turning out to be. But peaches are oh so yummy, so we will stick to farming. This past weekend he worked on the ceiling, adding the tongue and groove to finish off the look beautifully. It was such a blessing to have help as well! My dad, my brother and Paco (pretty much Blake's 2nd dad who is their #1 guy at Wawona) were so sweet to come out and help Blake make the process a little quicker. Thank you so much for all your help guys! Let me know if anyone is up for a painting party, once it is all complete! :-)

Here are a few pictures. I realized later that I didn't get any pictures of my dad. But it sure was nice of him to be helping as well. Thanks again! And just a side note....it appears, in the pictures, as though my brother was helping....yeah he made sure I waited to take the picture until he picked up the nail gun and stood up on the ladder, to make it appear as though he had been sweating. Thanks to all of them for working so hard to make our new patio look so good!





Blake added 2 skylights, 6 recessed lights, a fan, and flood lights on the ends that light up our backyard as though it is daytime! I am sooooooo proud of him!

Here is Blake and Paco working hard.

Blake, you should have had Terry come down and help you! Oh, and I would have come along and made yummy lunches to keep you worker-boys well fed!!

Love you guys! Thanks for having this blog, so that we can stay connected over the miles. Can't wait to see Adorable Aubrey in face. She's got cheeks that you've just got to smootch!
