Okay, due in part to the beautiful weather we are having here in Colorado today I decided to blog a blip about yard work.
Now we are not complete strangers to yard work, since we did rent a home last year, but a person can easily forget just how much work it takes.
We do not have out yard in as of yet, but that is the major plan this summer!
I did get my bootie outside this morning to try to maintain some of the grass/weedlands that have taken over the back and sides of my house. I was out there with shovel in hand digging up the weeds. Now I know most of you have 2 words in mind - ROUND-UP!!
Yes that was the intial plan, but due to the vast amount of weeds I decided to tackle them with the shovel first, and follow up with weed killer for 2 dumb reasons: 1- to get some amount of exercise (yes, a super lame excuse) and 2- I needed the sunshine!! I just love the sunshine!
So the plan is to add an uncovered deck to our patio, and get the backyard and fence in by the end of this summer. We will keep things updated as they happen, so be sure to check back!!
Here is proof that the kids DO eat the treats that I make. I made some chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they are already gone. (I bought the package that only made about 12 cookies) David will think that I ate them all because for some reason the kids don't eat them when he is home. 
Here is my girl in another of my shirts from my childhood. I even found some retro barretts (Target Rules!) that look just like ones I wore when I was a kid. I can't belive that she will be 2 in just a few months!!
Hey Neet! Isaac thought it was pretty cool when this part of the jumping cholla got stuck in David's finger. We never got it planted, but Isaac likes to pull it out and show anyone that will look, and just likes to watch it. He knows it's much to dangerous to touch.
While we were in Utah we had the opportunity to hang out with Gary, Alisa and the kids. The guys thought it would be fun to see their old house. (Keep in mind that Gary & Anadine were raising 5 yes 5 kids in this house, and that the garage was not attached when they owned the house). It's amazing how things change!
