February happenings

February has brought on new projects ....lots of them... besides all the fun regular stuff , we have began the transformation of our backyard. We started with the putting green last month, then we order bark, gravel, top soil, we have loaded free top soil into the Suburban  once, had 300plus pounds of rock delivered and made many trips to Lowe's, Home depot, & Ashby lumber. Every Saturday for a month our kids ask what we are doing on Saturday? I thought they would just know and start to enjoy yard work. We make them work but  they all complain, and fight. Once in a while we have a few good family moment in between. Like the one  here....WILD TURKEY"S! oh yes a whole bunch of them and Bob let the dog out front and we didn't see Cooper for a  little while. He loved it! He Chased all the turkeys till they flew up into a tree.

Here"s 2 beds ready for flowers and plants, we added two flowering plum trees up in the pebble area.

a view from the other side of the yard slowly we will have a beautiful yard again. Before pictures are always good for when the project is done it makes us feel so accomplished.

 Yesterday was Colton's first day of Preschool. He was so happy to be there, He loved his first day, I asked him about all the things he did, he said they ate fishy, read the Hungry Caterpillar book, painted his hand red, and sang songs. I said to him" What do you do if you have to go potty?" Hoping he'd tell me where the bathroom was, but Colton said, "Don't pee your pants!"

Addie took spring pictures at school...8th grade is half way over. Can't believe she'll be a freshmen at the end of summer.

 We finished the basketball season with the Hawks! Thayne was a super star, he loved all of it. He really has a competitive side to him he gets fired up when they lose. 5 in 6 they got better as the season progressed.

Thayne and Will  at the pizza party to celebrate. I think these two made the most points each game.



Here is today!

Colton went to school and I spent all morning tiring to fix the washing machine with a tech guy from LG all to find out I have to pay for it and have a service man come out. Cooper is beginning to show signs of being a good dog he just hung out next to me and got a little tired YEAH!



Good News my washer should be fixed by the end of today and the grass should be in too.
