The Calendar Says Spring, But It Sure Feels Like Summer

90+ degrees in central Wisconsin today. Time to play in the sprinklers.

The Garage is Gone!

After years of talking about taking down the garage, the day has come that we now have an open backyard and the old garage is now gone. Below are pics and a video of the process. The first two pics are before and after (now you see it, now you don't)shots. The rest of the pics are of the deconstruction in progress. There is a video at the end of the entire structure coming down. Enjoy.

Fence, Shed, & Tearing Down Garage Project Has Begun

The work has started on the fence, shed, and tearing down the garage projects. The shed was built yesterday, the fence was started today, and the garage should start to come down later this week. I'll have an update when the project is complete. Here are some pics and a video.

Life of a Missionary

Typically, blogs are all about our family. I wanted to share a blog posting from a college friend. Don't be surprised if you start to see more blog postings that are about other people than our family.

Josiah sings the ABC's. The video quality isn't the best, and you may need to turn up the volume, but it's still pretty cute.

Payne Train 500

The boys had fun racing their bikes today. It wasn't 500 miles, it may not have even been 500 feet, but they had fun. Enjoy the pics and videos.

Josiah the Worker Guy: Part II

It's that time of year again. Making several trips to the compost site each Spring is an annual event in the Payne house. Josiah (the worker guy), was very helpful with shoveling and spreading compost. Below are two pics and a video.
