North and East Side Fences!

June 8, 2013

Jeremiah's dad came down today to help Jer with the East (Front) and North side of the fence. After Morris left, I helped Jer finish. Let me just say, its been a huge task. Bigger than I thought at first. But it sure will be worth it when we are all done! 

Sod next Saturday!!!

Starting The Fence!

Saturday June 1st 

West fence (off of alley) is done! Jer made an area for our trash cans and gas meter. I really like that our garbage cans wont be rolling all over when the crazy north/eastern winds kick up!

Parker Reid came down from Sterling to help Jer! It was really nice for Jer to have help either from his dad or friends with this really big project!

Thanks guys!!!

Dress Rehearsal!

Class pictures on May 31st!

Brooklyn in Her Dance Outfits!

May 30, 2013

I ended up taking pictures of Brooklyn in her dance costumes because pictures were so expensive but I really had fun doing something entirely girly with my Brooky! She got a hoot out of all the poses we came up with too. I will be a little sad dance class is over in 2 days!

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!

This year Jer's parents came over and we had a BBQ on our new patio area! I can't wait to dress it up with plants, a pergola and table one day! For now, I was just grateful to have a place to sit outside.

I am so grateful for the service men and women who have fought and died for this country. I just recently read a book about widows of Gettysburg. It made me contemplate just how much our Country has been through. I know the Lord has blessed this land and if we follow him we will remain free. I am so grateful for the Liberty that I have and sometimes take for granted. I hope we never forget who we are and how far we have come because of brave men and women who showed amazing courage and integrity.

Sprinklers!!!

 May 25, 2013!

Friday the 24th Jer had Jim McCracken come over and till up our back yard so it would be easier to drag flat. The kids thought it was amazing watching the tractor dig into the ground. I am so grateful for such nice people around us that are willing to come help us. I have been in awe at how neighborly and helpful our family, friends and even our acquaintances have been throughout this yard project!

We have also been very lucky to have access to equipment through Jeremiah's work. Jer was able to get a little trencher from work to trench out the water lines for the sprinkler system Jer and his dad put in Saturday the 25th.

I ended up taking the kids to the pool park while they did a lot of the trenching since its pretty dangerous equipment. I can't believe that we are actually making some progress with the yard!
