Jacob's 7th Birthday

Birthday Breakfast
Transformers Skateboard

We went to Leo's Place to play

Jacob decorated his own cake this year.

Jarom enjoyed the cake very much. Maybe a little too much!

Joshua and Daddy's new Ab-lounger

You mean it's not for relaxing and eating your pizza?

Quarter-sized Hail

We had an amazing storm tonight with quarter-sized hail. That is the biggest hail that I have ever seen, but I grew up in Oregon where we don't get very big hail ever. My poor little garden was hit hard but it is out in the middle of the open field and I was too scared of the lightning to stay out there very long.

Memorial Day

I was feeling patriotic and decided that everyone needed to wear red, white and blue this year, including Joseph and myself. We spent the day at the horticulture gardens and the kids had a lot of fun.

He didn't know what he was doing!

Nicole and I made patriotic cupcakes and gave them away to the neighbors.

Mother's Day

Joseph bought me a bleeding heart plant for the yard. I love bleeding hearts!

Joshua made me a card with his hand print that says "From your little hand-ful". It is so true! Nicole made this hand soap bottle for me at school. It's called "My Mother's Hands". Too pretty!

I was really sick on Easter this year so I didn't get any pictures like I usually do, so I decided today was a good day to do that.

Our New Front Yard

Before the Sod

Here are some pictures of the sod and yard before it was laid. I'll take some of the after tomorrow. That is ten pallets of sod or 5000 square feet which doesn't go as far as you would think.

Nicole's School Program

Nicole's program was on Idaho History. She was an early Mormon settler and she did a square dance. If you can't see her she is the shortest one in the group with the bonnets. It was really cute and she did a great job! For the final song they had students draw pictures to go along with the lyrics. Nicole's pictures was one chosen to represent the words "silver and gold in the sunlight blaze."

Really Daddy? Ice cream?

Have we mentioned that Jarom likes to eat? Joseph didn't make things any better by giving him Chocolate Ice cream!

6 months old!

Jarom is 6 months old today. He is now 15 lbs 9 oz and 26 1/4 in long. the doctor was very impressed with how well he is sitting up already. Happy half birthday Jarom!

Our first outside project

This is our fence so far. We haven't put the verticle slats on yet. We are going to do that last. We still have a long way to go, our property goes all the way back to the trees you see in the back ground!
