Yard...

A few before pics...(I know these are boring to most..but I'm sooo excited--so bare with me.)

and a few after pics...

The landscapers have started on the backyard. It looks soooo much better already. They scraped all of the weeds away which made a HUGE difference! They were getting so bad! It is so nice to look out the window and not see so many weeds.

They are starting the trenching for the sprinkling system right now. (I'm sure nap time will soon be over for the babies with all the noise they are making out there) Anywho he said that they should be done by Thursday. I'm so excited!

Happy Anniversary Stacey & Bruce!

Today is Stacey and Bruce's 2ND Anniversary! I hope that they have a great day full of ROMANCE!!!

Here is a picture of Stacey, Bruce and Kailey on their wedding day.

Garrett under the weather.

Garrett has been sick for the last few days. We aren't quite sure what he has had exactly--whether it is teeth or something else. He had tooth # 5&6 come through about 2 weeks ago. He might be working on getting some new ones in. He had a fever for 4 days, he wasn't sleeping (unless one of us lay on the floor by his bed), and not eating. When Garrett isn't eating...we know something is wrong. He seems to be feeling better today--at least his fever is gone and he ate a little bit.

He loves taking a bath in our bathtub!

Congratulations Seth & Greta!

Congratulations to Justin's younger brother Seth and his girlfriend Greta! They got engaged on Friday! We are so happy for them and are REALLY excited to have Greta join our family!

I don't know any details just yet--but will post them when I have them.

Congratulations guys!!!!

Garage...Part 1

Here is before the concrete....
and after...a little less weeds.

They came Thursday and poured the cement pad for the garage. They will be back next Thursday to build it.

The landscapers SHOULD be here first thing Monday morning to start on the back yard. We are sooooo EXCITED to get that started. We are hoping that by next weekend our back yard will be looking a lot better!

I will be posting pictures throughout the week of the progress.

Good Job Colton!!

Last night Colton had a pack meeting. He was really excited to go since they didn't have Scouts in July because of Scout Camp. He got 4 belt loops--astronomy, BB shooting, wildlife conservation & archery.

After the awards were all given out all of the boys watched as some of the leaders made home made root beer with dry ice. They all thought that was pretty cool! While the root beer was "brewing" they all played volleyball with beach balls. They had such a great time! After playing for awhile they had root beer and a treat.

His leaders also passed out their "Raingutter Regatta Kits" for the cub scout boat race. We aren't exactly sure on how they do this-- they haven't given us any information yet. But I don't think it will be as involved as the derby cars were. Colton is excited for sure to decorate his boat.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Scott!!!

Today my dad turns the big 56!!!! He will be VERY happy to know that I can't find ONE picture of him on my computer!!! We are planning on having a BBQ/Party for him as soon as he gets a weekend off from work. Hopefully soon! I will be taking LOTS of pictures then for SURE!

Happy Birthday Dad!! We hope that you have a GREAT day!!!
