The New House

Hello everyone! It's Levi again filling in for Keithanne. Now that she is finally settled into her new place you will soon start seeing blog entries from her. It has been a hectic couple of months, let us tell you. She is pretty much out of the cabin, just a little here and there. Keithanne's new house couldn't be more comfortable. She finally feels like it is 'home.'

Daughter Kasey and her husband Jacob came in the final weekend in August and Keithanne had a blast seeing them as well as their cute puppy! Drexler and the puppy got along great.

Keithanne hyper extended her knee about a week ago and is spending this Labor Day weekend relaxing and trying to heal up. She has also had an annoying problem with her right eye that she is finally curing with some drops.

After healing up and resting, she will return to blogging soon! On behalf of Keithanne and myself, Take Care!

Almost Moved Out!

Levi here, filling in for Keithanne this week. Per Keithanne's request, I am filling you in on the latest.

Keithanne is nearly moved into her house in town. The last several weekends she has been moving and almost all of her new furniture is in the new place, minus a few key items. She has been having some help putting it all together.

Keithanne finally got internet installed this last week. She is going to be on high speed wireless, which will make her life a whole lot easier (and blogging simpler).

She has been exhausted through this whole ordeal, but knows life will be better once it is finished.

I almost ask her on a daily basis if she loves her job, and she still does. I am amazed. I am glad to have such a dedicated employee and friend. She told me this past weekend it is her only refuge of 'normalcy' right now during the move.

Well, that's all for this week folks. Keithanne should return soon with some more updates! Take care! -LB

P.S. Here is a great picture I took of Keithanne and Cynthia a couple of weeks ago:

Week of July 10, 2006

Wow, time goes so fast! I have not been very good at keeping you all informed of the happenings at the lake, so here goes. This morning I walked out to go to work and right down my little hill was a doe and two little tiny twin fawns. I watched them for a few minutes and remembered what a special place I live in. It is beautiful at the Lake during every season of the year, but I have never had time to appreciate the beauty of this time of year. No wonder so many people come to enjoy it. By the first of August I will be renting the cabin out through Flying Arrow Resort. I will give more information out about that as it gets closer. Work is keeping me very busy. I did have 5 days off over the 4th and went down to the coast to visit with my sister Cheryl and brother David and my sister in law Annette, it was fun to be together since we are all so crazy. The weather at the beach was wonderful. I got to see Kelly on the way down, and Kelly and Peyton on the way back. It is hard to believe that Peyton is 3 months old already, Kelly is such a great mom, and is loving every minute of it. Kasey and Jacob finally were able to pick up their new puppy Ruby Tuesday, no not on Tuesday, that is her middle name, although, they may change it to Ruby Buffers since she buuufffs up on car rides. Kasey sent me pictures today at work, and she is sooooo cute. Things are moving right along in all of our lives, and yes I still love my job. The weather at the lake has been hot and beautiful during the day, but cooling off to very sleepable weather at night, actually just perfect. Nice to be able to see the daylight, and enjoy the time after work. Drexler has turned into quite a watch dog, that is very comforting. He also is quite sensitive to my moods, and tries to comfort me when I am down. Amy and Jason, it was great getting to meet you finally, and hope your trip home went well. Kelly and Kasey if you want to add onto this at anytime just let me know and I will let you know how. Anybody else, please write your comments and ask me things that I have to answer so I will keep on top of this blog.

I will be updating this weekend

Levi, asked me to make sure my blog was working so this is a test.

Mothers Day 2006 (Changes)

Hello again, sorry it has been so long! Lots of changes going on in the family. First of course is Kelly and Justin's baby Peyton Bailey Russell, already over a month old, and oh, how I miss her! Kelly and Justin took her to her first mother's day brunch at Grandma Gayle and Grandpa Marks house today. Kelly said they are having a wonderful time. Kasey called and Jacob and her are working constantly on their yard. Lots of work!!!! They love their new home and are enjoying working on it, (I think). The changes keep coming for me, now that the store is sold and they are doing very well with it, I am buying a house in Joseph. I am going to use the cabin as a vacation rental. I think we will call it Boeve's Rivers Edge Cabin. It probably won't be ready to go until late July I would think. Lots and lots of work to do. There are a few things to do to the house in Joseph before I move in, but not alot, mostly painting. So keep watching our site and I will let you know when we will begin renting out the cabin. I still love my job at LB productions and we are keeping very busy. Keep us in mind if you are looking for a computer or need a website. Well, hopefully I will be more on top of this section in the future. I hope all is well with all of you, I would love to hear from you.

The weather here today is beautiful, it is supposed to be beautiful all week. Take care. To all of you who were our customers and friends and are keeping up with us through this section, please let me know you are there, if you need to know anything about the area or I can answer anything for you, I will sure try. Be seeing you! kb

Here's Peyton!!!!

Here she is, our Peyton Bailey Russell. Isn't she beautiful????? Wanted to share with all of you as soon as I could, sorry it took so long. Kelly is feeling better each day, and is a wonderful mommy! Justin is back to work and can't wait to get home to his baby girl. Grandma Gayle and Grandma Sheryl just can't stand being away from her. Auntie Whitney, Auntie Addie and Auntie Tyler and Uncle Travis all got to visit with Peyton in the hospital. Auntie Kasey will be here tomorrow. Her great Aunt Cheryl has visited a couple of times also. And of course Anna, who had never held a baby and wasn't going to. She now is planning on how to bribe Kelly and Justin into going out to dinner so she can watch Peyton. Will write more later, big hugs to all of you. keithanne, Peyton Bailey's GD

Peyton Bailey Russell has Arrived

At 5:23pm on Thursday 4/06/06 Peyton Bailey Russell made her appearance into our world. She is beautiful. 18.2" long 7lbs 4 oz. Curley blonde hair with highlights of red in it. Grandmas, Gayle, Keithanne & Sheryl were there, along with Grandpa Mark, & Auntie Anna held a baby for the first time in her life. Auntie Kasey, & Auntie Whitney had to talk to her over the phone. It was a very long 2 days of labor for Kelly and she was mighty glad to get Peyton out and into the world. Justin was amazing with Kelly, so supportive and loving. He is already a wonderful father to our little Peyton. I know Grandpa Oliver is looking down on this very special baby and doing everything in his power to be her guardian angel. More later, I am going to bed!!!!! love and hugs, keithanne (grandma)
