Sweet!  I'm getting up my annual post!  :/
Well, here we go again.  Gonna try and get things back up and going again with the blog...  I've got a few ideas on my brain that i'd like to attempt in 2013 and i'll put them out on the interweb for all to see (really the very few, since who's looking at a totally inactive blog) and judge.  So anyway, here are a handful of things that i'd like to try and do this year with the kiddos and family (more definitely to come :)

1) Build a homemade fire heated hot tub out of an old claw foot tub i found in the woods.
2) "Faux-Woody" the the work van.  I'll get Miles in on on the action.  And, just because...
3) Create a cable swing between two trees on either end of our yard.
4) Create a solid plan for a house addition (master bedroom and bath, with basement play room, and a screened in porch)
5) Whitewater kayak with my 8 year old son in the Jackson Dynamic Duo 
6) This Fall/Winter, begin planning a family cross country road trip and let the kids help determine our destinations and routes.  I'm gonna guess one of Miles' (will be 9) choices will be Dinosaur National Monument.  As for Zella (will be 4)... i have no idea what she may choose.
7) Chickens?
8) Keep active on this blog!
8) more to come...
