We have lawn

We might have to invest in a riding lawn mower.This is our front and side yard all finished and our back yard where we buried our trampoline which is the best thing we have done yet.

Looks like alot of work

We were offered a really good deal on sod and decided to accept so first thing Tuesday morning this truck arrived, We ordered about 10,000 feet and We are pretty sure we ended up with alot more than that. We were planning on doing our front yard and a little of the side and ended up being able to do the whole front and side yard thats alot of lawn to mow. We with the help of some family and some very kind neighbors laid 22 palletts of sod in two days.Sore knees hands ,arms, and some very bright sunburns later we have a beautiful yard. Thank You so much to all of you who helped.

Yeah its Summer

So we started off the Summer with a camping trip on memorial weekend we luck out and have exclusive access to the ski hill so we made a little spot up on the hill by one of the lifts. The kids had a great time Treagan loved the fire and the marshmallows not the smores he didn't care for the chocolate and the graham crackers. the kids hiked up and down the hill, we got rained on three or four times and then we took the filthy children home and they turned the bath water black it was great!

Daycare

So last summer I decided to do daycare out of my home I started out watching a few neighborhood kids and then people started calling me I now have 10 on most days some days I have a couple of dropins Friday we did an egg hunt and I had 15 it was crazy so this is the reason I don't have much time for posting This is a picture I got when they wanted to go exploring so we took a walk!Some day I may be blogging from a mental institution, ha ha ha!

Good Times

Where is daddy's cell phone?

We had a great start to our Monday morning Chris was searcing the house for his phone and could not find it anywhere,finally I grabbed my phone and started calling his.We could hear a faint ringing noise and could not figure out where it was coming from,We asked Treagan where did you put daddys phone and he kept going into the bathroom, finally instead of dragging him out we followed him in where the ringing got considerably louder and we started looking in drawers and cupboards and then we looked at each other and started busting up laughing when we realized it was coming from inside the toilet,It had been flushed! We had to disassemble the whole toilet and use a snake to finally dislodge the phone luckily Chris had bought a water proof phone because of his landscaping job and It works just fine screen and all Treagan just thougt it needed to be tested! We cleaned it very well of course!

Missouri Trip

How do you stop a climber?
