Fishing


The boys had a great time fishing and were met with almost perfect weather for the week.  They were all smiles when they caught their first fish on the trip back in June.

Noah Turns 8 Years Old


This year we celebrated Noah turning 8 years old at the swimming pool.  The kids loved it and took a short break from the water to eat.  


Jacob loved the cupcakes as always (he enjoyed the top of the cupcake much more than the bottom).

West 51st Street


A lot has changed in the last five years since this post:


Today we closed on the sale and this fourplex is no longer ours.  We put in a tremendous amount of effort through the years, made a lot of improvements, worked through countless difficulties, met some people that helped teach us the business, and vascillated frequently about our future with this building.  

We learned that there can be reward with risk, that hard work pays off, and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, even when it appears the darkest.  We learned that what on the surface appeared difficult was often very elementary with a little research and diligence.  We could always be found here at the 'Turn' in early August and never had a vacancy which was a true blessing.  We will continue on in this community and will still be there at the 'Turn' in coming years but it was with smiles on our faces that we turned over the keys at the title company today.

Northwest Hills Parade


The 4th of July parade was back on Far West again this year.  We had juice, coffee and donuts for the cub scouts and veterans.  Noah got to march with the Cub Scouts and helped lead off the parade.


The mayor made an appearance and found a nice ride in which to make that appearance


We love the jeep and he is willing to sell for $12.5K but we will have to take a pass this year



The Lawn Chair Brigade was back again this year and candy was flying everywhere.  Jacob made quite a haul when it was all over.


 The Young Democrats even came to march.  However, they didn't have any candy!


All the classic cars were back too!  We didn't get his price on this one though


Good fun for everyone.  We then made it to the pool for 1/2 hour before getting rained out for the entire rest of the day. We will take that in July!
