The New House

2006-09-02T23:35:00.000-07:00

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!

2006-07-30T17:22:00.000-07:00

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

2006-07-10T22:00:00.000-07:00

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)

2006-05-14T15:17:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

2006-04-11T10:27:00.000-07:00

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

2006-04-07T00:08:00.000-07:00

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)

A Very Busy Spring Break

2006-04-02T23:41:00.000-07:00

We started noticing on Friday that it seemed very busy in Joseph. I got off work at 5:00Pm on Friday, picked up a few things at Family Foods, and headed to my home at Wallowa Lake. It felt like spring, sunshine most of the day and a little warmer. The first thing I noticed was the store, now, Glacier Lake Grill and General Store was packed, then as I turned onto my lane, I noticed that all the cottages were full. People were all over. I got home and shut myself in. Saturday morning I woke up to car doors slamming and people hollering hurry up!!!! I looked out my bedroom window and noticed the snow, oh yes, snow, it snowed most of the day. I guess it spooked some of the people because they left early, other people were out enjoying it. I am just plain tired of it. I stayed home all day, and enjoyed my cozy little cabin.

I am still waiting for Peyton Bailey to be born and to take off to Beaverton to be with Kelly and Justin.

I haven't heard much from Kasey & Jacob this weekend, but I presume they are enjoying their new home.

Big Hugs to all of you, hope to see some new comments and some new ideas to write about. Talk to you soon. Keithanne

Waiting for Peyton Bailey Russell 3/25/06

2006-03-25T22:08:00.000-08:00

I am going to try to keep this page updated, so all of you know how things are going, not only in my life, and my kids lives, but life at Wallowa Lake in General. When I learn to use a digital camera, I will add some pictures honest.

I am waiting for Peyton Bailey to be born (downloaded) as are Kelly and J. I start every time the phone rings. I am trying to get things ready so that I can take off when the call comes. I really hate having to do this alone, but enough whining about that.

My job is going well, although my boss was really sick Friday. I felt so sorry for him, he sounded really bad. I was working on a special project for a client that had to be out Friday night, and naturally the printer jammed and I couldn't fix it, so being the good guy he is, he climbed out of the sick bed and came to my rescue. We finished the project and I delivered it by 10:00PM. He did sound better when I called to see how he was feeling this afternoon. I have to tell you, I couldn't have finished the project without Christian or Levi------they helped and taught me so much. Anyway it is done. Thank goodness. So, if you are ever in John Day, go to the new Mexican Restaurant called "El Cocinero", we did the menus, business cards and the to go menus.

The Glacier Grill and General Store (previously, Boeve's General Store & Pub) is doing really well. The expanded kitchen looks great. The design is wonderful. I have eaten there quite a few times and the food is wonderful. They are doing a wonderful job, and I enjoy going in to see them. They will have a website up and running very soon, we (LB Productions) will be doing their website. Jodi and Tom are great and both of them are working way too hard!!!!

We got more snow today, I am really, really, really, sick of the snow! I could use some sun! I suppuse we all could though.

Bob & Gina Barstad from the Marina are healing up very well! You really should hear that story. Fred & Suzi Barstad are off to see grandkids. Hurry back I miss you.

To all of our family, friends and customers that read this, please - if you want to know something ask, otherwise, I know I will run out of things to say. Kasey, Kelly & Kati, thank you for commenting. Kati, what were you doing up writing at 4 in the morning??? Love and hugs to all of you. Keithanne Boeve'

Welcome to Boeve's Blog -- We're Still Here!

2006-03-16T18:16:00.000-08:00

Welcome friends and family! This is the new blog I just started. I will be posting the latest news and happenings of the Boeve' family, as well as catching you up on the past.

As you may already know, the store has changed hands. It is now Glacier Grill and General Store. Jodi and Tom Gleasman bought it this March. Jodi managed the store and pub for us last year and was a true blessing as a manager and a friend. I know Jodi and Tom are going to do great!

Kelly and Justin are very close to having our little Peyton Bailey, she is pretty much due anyday! I will continue to update you, after the baby is born. We are all so excited!

Kasey and Jacob just bought a house in Missoula, and are enjoying fixing it up. They would love to have company!

I am loving my job at LB Productions, as I am learning new things all the time! If you need any computer work done, give us a call **shameless plug**

I look forward to keeping everyone caught up in this new blog. Levi (my boss) is helping me revamp the Boeve's website at this time. Look for an all-new Glacier Grill website in the near future. Please add your comments or thoughts -- let me know how you are doing -- I would love to hear from you! *big hug* - Keithanne
