Hard work and hard play!

Saturday April 27, 2013

We got up early Saturday and Jer started on the huge over 200ft long, 5 ft deep Main water trench! I took Mason to his soccer game that morning but he was so exhausted from his zoo trip that he barely had the energy to play. Then he fell asleep on the way home!

Jeremiah is a rock star with a backhoe I just realized. he managed to dig a 5 ft deep trench and go around a gas line without even touching it! The kids thought it was big fun to roll around and play in the dirt Jer dug up. They took off their shoes and got good and filthy dirty! 

Unfortunately we all got a little too much sun because we all felt a little achy the next day. Dallas developed some hives on his face that I mistook for sunburn at first. Strange. 

Next step, Main water line, hydrant and then sprinklers!!!

Tearing Down Trees and Making Messes!

April 26, 2013 

When mase and I got home, this is what we found! Holy Hanna Mess!!! Jeremiah's co-worker Brad came over and helped Jer remove metal posts and this big tree! I have never watched a tree get knocked down by backhoe before. It was pretty nerve wracking for me. But Jer did such a good job and didn't even leave a scratch on our neighbor's shed.

Thanks Brad for all you help! It was awesome that you would stay so late to help us get it cleared up as well.

Mason's Zoo Trip.

We weren't sure Mason bug was going to be allowed to attend his class field trip this year because his behavior at school has been troubling.... Lets just say he made it by the skin of his tooth!

But even with everything, Mason had fun. He loved seeing the Rhino and Lions. I loved the Elephants along with their Asian themed enclosure. Almost like we traveled to India! They had prayer stones and a Tuk Tuk taxi! 

Backhoe

April 25th

After Brooklyn's recital, Jer got the YW backhoe and began the huge project of clearing our yard to ready it for a fence, sprinklers and grass.

The kids love taking turns riding with Jer on the backhoe. He is very patient even though it slows him down quite a bit. 

I must say our front yard looks so open without the corner tree, hedges and chain link fences. That is an exciting start!!!

Brooklyn's Music Recital.

April 25, 2013

Brooklyn had her music recital in the gym. It helped a lot to have more seats and a better lit area for pictures. Carter came and sat with Dallas and the three boys were funny making faces while waiting for Brooklyn and Ty to sing. My favorite song Brook sang was a Smile and a song from snow white.

She did a great job!

Mason's Music Recital.

April 16, 2013

Mason's music recital was Tuesday. We got there on time but we should have gotten there early because there were not enough seats in the Auditorium/ Cafeteria. We were far away and could barely hear the class singing but from what we could hear, they did a good job. It was hard standing because Dallas kept running up and down the isle and Jer had to either put him on his shoulders or take him out of the room.

Mase was so proud of himself and loved playing twinkle twinkle little star with his bell.
