Playhouse Foundation & Bike Ride.

Jer got the digger truck again this Saturday the 11th.

After knocking down our phone line and having to reattach it once, he finally got the digger truck in the right position to drill the last two holes. I helped Jer by shoveling dirt in the holes while he tamped the dirt down. Mason was the official tamper turner- onner, while Dallas played on the truck.

Yay! the playhouse is coming together the right way this time!

After we finished putting the poles in the ground for the playhouse, we took a family bike ride to the fair grounds. It was so cute how the kids looked like little ducks in a row following Daddy.

Brooklyn's School Trip!

May 10, 2013
Brooklyn had her school trip to the Adam's Mystery Playhouse in Denver! We saw a cute little play about the Kingdom of Green. Two sisters were about to have a big day. One was to be crowned princess and the other wanted to be a knight but she was jealous of the princess. They couldn't get the royal crown off of the pillow so a wizard was asked to use his magical wand. After he removed the crown from the pillow lightning flashed and someone stole the wand. The audience had to try and figure out who took the wand and why.
It was pretty fun and interactive. Brook loved it!
After the play, Jer came and picked us up and we had some appointments to go to. It was nice to spend some one on one time with Brooklyn. She is such a social and sweet girl. She makes friends with everyone!

Drilling holes in the rain!

Wednesday the 8th Jer got the digger truck to drill the holes for the kid's play house. Only, Jer wasn't anticipating how hard it would rain and how difficult it would be to get the truck in the correct position.

To make a long story short, Jer only got 2 of the 4 holes done and stopped for the night. lol!

AVFD!

Jeremiah is on the Akron Volunteer Fire Department. On Monday the 6th they were washing off the sidewalks here in town. The kids had a blast watching the guys squirt the hose. Jer called me and asked if I'd let him know when one of the trucks was just past our house. I didn't know why he needed to know this but I told him. Shortly after I told him it had past, the next thing you hear is a siren and a passing fire truck totally  drenches the fire truck the kids were watching! It was so funny!

Later when Jer's truck came to the corner, Steve (one of the volunteers) motioned for the kids to come closer and then he sprayed them with the hose!!! They loved it!

Chickens and Picnic Time!

So these girls crack me up all the time! As soon as I walk out of my house they come running with their tiny legs to the gate. Then, as soon as I walk through the gate they follow on my heels hoping I brought something for them to munch on! Silly girls!

We also have one hen who just doesn't get where she is supposed to lay. I constantly find one egg right in front of the door! Crazy bird.

Life has been stressful and busy lately so May 3rd Dallas and I had a picnic lunch at the park with my friend Janae and her son Carter. It was nice to get out and spend some time with the Dallas Monster!

love this kid so much!

Finished water line and hydrant!

April 30th

Jer and his dad finished hooking up the new water line. They also put in a water hydrant back by the chicken coop so it will be easier to water the chickens and our garden. After Jer hooked up the pipes for the sprinkler shut off valve, he filled in the holes with the backhoe. The kids sure loved running around the newly flattened earth!

Next steps, cement pad, sprinklers, playhouse, sod and then fence!

When that is all done I get to play around with pretty plants! yay!

Hydrant!

My handsome handy man!
