Backyard!!!!

If any of you have ever been over to my house in the last two years my backyard has looked like a war zone. We have spent countless hours out there getting it ready. Well Friday we finally finished the project two years in the making. Sam worked all day with our good friend Kenson day getting it ready to lay sod. I got into town around 6 and at 7 we laid sod till about 1 that morning. We also had help from our wonderful next door neighbors. Words can't describe how much I have wanted this backyard and I can't stop staring out the back door. I love grass.

Cupcakes!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Here are some cupcakes from Shannon's personal shower and Easter.

How Sad Is This Face

Well Pete caught the flu. He looks horrible and sounds bad too. Sometimes I find it selfish to ask people for prayer when I know there are people out there far worse that Pete. I just feel so bad for him. I also hope Lil' Emily doesn't come down with this, it will not be a fun spring break. The kids are all supposed to go visit their GiGi on Sunday and stay till Wednesday. So pray that Pete will feel well by then or he will have to stay with me and we both probably won't want that. If you have not had the flu this season count your blessings because it is going around everywhere(and we even got the flu shot). So I hope everyone stays healthy and well. Maybe the weather will stay nice. I couldn't want spring more.

Spring Dance

Even though it isn't spring Drew's school had a spring dance/carnival on Friday night. Looks like fun was had by all. The kids loved it and Millie loved to dance. I went to Drew's school when I was little and not much has changed except for a few teachers.
I love his school and I can't wait for Pete to go their especially when next year he will have Ian and a few other friends with him.
I wish Millie could go with him she would love it. Pete and Drew would love it too.

Snow Day

I am so ready for my kids to go back to school.
Drew has had the flu since last thursday and Pete has had a cold and ear infections in both ears. Sam also has had a really bad cold and he isn't over it yet. Luckily nobody else got the flu. Emily and I are the only well ones in the group. I am so sick of winter and we got a little spoiled with last weekends weather. I have to be thankful though and remember that spring is right around the corner (hopefully). The snow though makes my kids so happy to be able to play in it. Pete must have asked me a hundred times this morning "when can we go out ?". It was hard to get him inside to eat lunch. I love that he loves being outside. At one point I looked out and he is standing in the fire pit which is filled with water and no gloves on and I wonder how he gets sick.
