Hickman Hillbillies coming at you from Oregon!

Hey family and friends! I just got introduced to blogs from Denise and it looks like fun-so I think I will join in so that everyone can keep up with what is going on with the Hickman family. For those of you who haven't been to Oregon here is a picture of our place! Here's the front of the house. But by next week our house won't look like this. We are getting a porch, new roof, and new siding!







Here is the field between the house and the shop! We leveled the field here because some day I am going to put a swing set, pool, trampoline, etc to make it our backyard and play area for the kids! Here is our pond-it is right next to the shop! It's full of frogs! Holly loves to play outside!

Yes I wrote Hickman Hillbillies and you can see why! We live out in the country and down at our shop we have lots of cars.

I thought you would like that! But really now that you have seen the hillbilly cars (or what I call Chris' junkyard) how about our daily drivers!

I drive my little Honda back and forth to work everyday and into town! It is a fun car and I like to zip around in it. Isn't it cute! Here I am picking up the kids after a full day of work. Carson always goes right for the wheel-He must be a car guy because he always wants to drive!

I keep the Durango at home to use when we go somewhere as a family or on weekends. With the gas prices I can't drive the Durango all the time so that is why I have my Honda!

We are definetly a car family wouldn't you say? Let's see-how many cars do we have? With all the ones down at the shop (which Chris is working on getting rid of about 4) and the drivers we have 21 cars-most are not running! We are trying to sell about 4 cars in the next month or so. Chris is very happy to have a shop and land to store all his toys!

Last weekend we had our 1948 Chevy truck in the Sutherlin car show-Blackberry festival! It was lots of fun-we cruised the truck too. Holly had a lot of fun! Chris fixed up the truck and put the red wheels on and white wall tires-it has a retro look to it. We have been having lots of fun with the truck, but now we are selling it to pay for our house projects.

Most of our cars are Dodge (Mopar products). I really had to convince Chris on the Honda. But of course cars are not our first love. At least not my first love-I would have to say that would be my children!
