KAYAKING

Last Saturday (7/17/10) Tyson surprised me with a fun date! He borrowed some kayaks from some of our friends! I was so excited! As we were on our way to the river our other friends Sarah and Dan called to see what we were up too...... they decided to join us!! We all had a blast going down the Spokane River! It took us about 2 hours and I loved it! Here are some pictures from the trip! ENJOY! Sarah and Tyson getting ready to launch into the water

And We're OFF!!

Sarah striking a pose!

this one was a much better pose to show how excited we were!

And then ME!

Awh! so cute! what a fun day!

Sarah, Tyson, and Whitney

Tyson flipped over going threw rapids, so we had to pull over and dump out his kayak

and we had to pull over again! ( Tyson flipped like 3 or 4 times!, it was funny!)

don't ask! I'm not sure what is going on here!!!!

hanging on for dear life! :D

....... uhhh!????

Tyson trying to surf in his kayak! he didn't stay up very long! :D

After we finished our trip we all decided to go get pizza at savage land! Tyson found his dream boat there!!!! hahahaa he can barely fit in it!!!!!

OUR OLD HOUSE

Tyson Loves to invest in real estate! I bought our first foreclosure house at an auction last June. It was scary! but a lot of fun once you figure out how it works!So over the last year we have been fixing this house.... We decided to move into it and turn our duplex into a rental! Which has been great! but once we moved in we got kinda lazy with fixing up the new house! I can now say that we are almost done! ( it only took us a year, but hey we did it!!! haha ) Just finishing up the exterior paint and some yard work/ fence. This will be the last time we buy a house that is over a hundred years old!!! TOO MUCH WORK!! ( its a 1906 ) We are recently looking at buying a nicer/newer house to flip and then we can buy a newer house that we can stay put for a few years!!! all the picture below are be fore and afters!




now its a pretty green color! and no more BLUE porch!


this is the new bathroom
