The Old Perkins Homestead

This is the Perkins Homestead. My Dad and his brothers have been working on this for about two years in their spare time. They were able to use the original fire place, just fixed it up a bit. Sorry for the extremely long post. And sorry for the sideways pics. I just didn't want to have to go back and fix them all. Sorry.

These pics are of the inside of the cabin, obviously.




Oops. How did that get in there. Jason stop eating the bread. Don't let Uncle Cecil see this pic. Ha ha.

This is my great grandma, Elizabeth Jane Hancock
This is my great grandfather, Reuben Josiah Perkins
This is what the original homestead looks like.
This is my parents posterity. All of my parents kids and grandchildren were there.

Sorry this is so long. But I just had to post all of my dad's hard work along with his brothers and sisters. They really did a phenomenal job on recreating this home to be as close to possible as the original.

Time to Catch Up!!!!

Wow I have been out of it for a while. Computer was in shop. Only for three days. However, it only took us three weeks to finally take it into the shop and then another three days to finally pick it up. ha ha. So bear with me while I play catch up. There will be lots of posts coming soon.

I finally went to the VERY fun swimming on Val Vista. My kids clung to me at first. Landen finally went down the slide by himself.

I finally cut Sydney's hair. My sisters have been telling me to shave it off, but I didn't want to. If I were going to do that, I should have done it when she was a year old. So I decided to cut off a couple of inches to help it grow and to even all the baby hair out. This is the before.

During
After

We went to my parents house at the end of July for a Perkins reunion. They were celebrating the 100th birthday of my grandad. So all of the Perkins were invited, all of my grandads brothers and sisters decendants. That event will be a post all by itself. Coming soon.

Landen of course playing with the hose.

At the reunion, my cousin was painting all the little kids faces. So cute.
