Our backyard progress

So we started out with nothing but dirt in our backyard. We wanted a place to chill so we needed to expand our patio.

So now that we have added to our patio, we wanted to get rid of all that messy dirt. It gets really windy here and having all the dirt makes it pretty dirty. Well we got rid of that problem. YEAH!!!

It is soooo super duper nice to have green grass in our yard. Although we are not able to play on the grass yet, it sure takes care of that eye sore that we had previously!!! Here is to many summer evenings enjoying the cool green grass. Time to play!

Next is a flower garden in the back right corner for Janeen and the sandbox for the kids in the other corner. Maybe next year we will get the patio covered to add to the fun.

Why kids and doggie doors don't mix...

New Pictures of Kids

Miracles do happen

After months of working on this, I finally finished it. I don't know who is more excited to have this done--me or Josh (he is so tired of seeing the yarn all over the house.)

Christmas

We had a great Christmas at home this year. We have some great friends that we had dinner with on Christmas Eve and had Santa come visit. We each got to sit on Santa's lap and get a present. We all got dart guns so we had a nice little war going on in the front room. On Christmas we slept in and woke our kids up a 8. They liked all their toys. Later we had some friends over to have some homemade scones. Then for dinner we went out with some more friends to get Chinese which was very good. Another wonderful Christmas. We hope each of you had a great Christmas and we appreciate everyones friendship.

Thanksgiving and Micaela's Birthday

I know I am really late at posting this. For Thanksgiving we had Josh's dad, wife and daughter along with Josh's sister, boyfriend and daughter over. It was nice to have family over and we had a great big feast. It was also Micaela's birthday on Thanksgiving this year and she turned 3. She really enjoyed her pumpkin pie for her birthday cake.
