Hahahaha the fence is finally done!!!!!

Backyard Mayhem

So, last night we went over to the neighbors to discuss putting a privacy fence in between our homes. They liked the idea, hence the mess in the backyard, the men got up and got to work by 9 am....Hey, I was impressed! So hopefull;y inthe next week or so we will have a totally new fence! The only drawback is all the trees and greenery they are having to take out to accomodate said fence!

Hello again world!

I know, it's been like an entire month since I have written anything, time flies by and my cameras battery is dead so I can't post anything new! It's certainly frustrating. So anyway, onto news....not much to report, Shaun started his new job at Stouffers today and so far he was bored! Orientation must be boring, they just had people from the plant come in and talk to him and kind of educate him on what they do there and how things are run. Anyway, his new job title is Electrical Maintenance Man. Super cool, I know!!!! Anyway, nothing is new with me, still the same old, same old. This weekend we will be going to Roosevelt for the annual Easter Egg hunt at grandmas house. I am really excited! I think it is because I just can't wait for summer to begin! I am ready for kids to play outside, for muddy footprints to be a thing of the past and for the gas billl to go down a little bit. Anyway, It is time for family prayer so I will have to do something more interesting another day!

Winter?

I am so confused by the seasons, we have gotten about 3 inches of snow since 4:00 today and it is still coming down! I thought we were done with all this yucky weather. But apparently not. At least Kamryn is still excited about the magical snowflakes falling from the sky. My front porch is covered in snow, because the wind is blowing and the snow is piling up on everything! Don't believe me? I will try to put some new pics on I just took. It is crazy! Now my van is going to be dirty again and we will have snow and mud tracked all over the house....Yeah I love when I have muddy footprints tracked all over and wet carpet from the shoes coming thru the door. Doesn't everyone else?

Spring!

I absolutely love this time of year! I know its not officially spring yet but you wouldn't know it today, warm and sunny....bright and beautiful. It makes my spirit happy! I love it because after a long winter of kids being cooped up inside they can finally run free again. And I can have peace. There is less fighting, less mess in the house, and less BOREDOM! They no longer rely on me for entertainment. They go outside, they find other kids to play with and I don't hear from them for hours at a time. I still keep an eye out the window every few minutes for safety reasons, just to make sure they are still close by and safe, but oh, what a relief this week has been, sunny beautiful days and warm weather. And any of you that know me, know I am a house hermit, rarely going outside...but this weekend may be different. If its warm and sunny and not cold and rainy we will be out doing garden prep and yard cleanup on Saturday. P.S. Anyone have a tiller I can rent????

Katies birthday party was a success! (meaning that it's over and we all survived it!) I don't know why, but I used to love things like this and now I just struggle to do them for my kids....I feel like a bad mom. Anyway, it was wonderful for her to have her 1st "Friend" party and it was wonderful for me, cause I hired a lady to come and do face painting and balloon animals, so I didn't have to do very much. It was nice, I felt like I could actually watch and enjoy instead of running to and fro the whole time. Anyway, the kids had a good time and then they went home and I relaxed! Anyway I posted some pics of the kids she invited.....and of course herself! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! (now I get a break till June!)

Drama queen!!!

Okay, so I was being a major drama queen yesterday, You know I am PMS'ey! So get a grip on yourself, at least I didn't say anything MEAN to anybody.......this time of the month I tend to lose my nice filter and mean things spill forth. Come on women, you all know what I'm talking about.
