Life

Here we are...

Blessed!

One of the many ways God has blessed us this year has been with our daycare situation. Our next door neighbor, "grandma Allison", comes to our house each day, takes them to her house for lunch and to play with "papa Dale", and then brings them back to their own beds for a nap. Among all of the wonderful things she does for our family, she takes pictures (on my camera) of the moments during the day. Seriously, my kids have the very best of all worlds. Below are some of the most recent pictures...

Playdough names.

Hmmm...fun in any form!
(No worries, Allison always has our house in perfect shape when I get home each afternoon.)

Yes, we're always this nice! ;-)

Evolution of the back yard...

After the run (literally) of our dog (who now has a new home with acreage!), our back yard was in need of an intervention. Brock, the meticulous man that I love, once again created an immaculate space. Here is its evolution...

Before...

During...

*not pictured are the hours of rotatilling.

*Also not pictured is the 10-man task force that Brock arranged to lay the sod in 2 hours...start to finish. Thank you to all who helped! And to Rob & John who hauled the grass from Wheatland.

After!

Perfection!

We're back!!!

It's been a long time since my last post...but I now vow to be more regular. Since my last post here's is what has been happening in our household...

• Aftann goes to AZ to be a part of Crystal & Troy Conyers wedding. (March)


• Caden turns 2! (4-21-11)


• time spent with family--Angie and John are still home--as of this minute. Yea!


• St.Stephens & Arapahoe schools come out with glowing reports from accreditation visits.


• Brock & Co. laid sod in our backyard--we are ready for a bbq!


• Aftann completes the Master's degree--a summer free from reading assignments ahead!


• Meals for the next month are planned--so if you are passing through we'd love for you to stop and see us!

Our kids are growing up and running faster. We are so excited about our summer of fun that will be here in 3 weeks! We hope to see you all soon!
