Six Flags

































The Bostrons (our friends from Washington) surprised us and came down for a visit. On the last day we went to Six Flags and had a ball!!!

Easter


















This year we went over to our friends home with some other families for a nice dinner, and a big Easter egg hunt for the kids.






Working outside

















So we started working on our yard. First James built some raised beds for our garden. The kids had a good time planting them and watering them often!! Next Maile and Wayland (James' parents) came down and started the trenches for the sprinkler system and other stuff. They worked so hard and it was pretty warm too. Next James has been working every day digging, working the trencher, putting electrical lines and conduits (I think that's how it's spelled) and alot of other things. Slowly our yard is coming together and it is neat to be doing it ourselves with the kids help.

Olivia is all smiles!!!!








Olivia is now 6 weeks old and what a doll! She loves it when we get up close to her and talk "baby talk" She is so alert and strong! At the Dr. the other day she was exactly 6 weeks (yeah I was 2 weeks late) and weighed 12 lbs. When the Dr. put her on her tummy she was really trying to roll over. Looks like I got a Derick on my hands!!!

Helping mom plant flowers




For Christmas the kids got a John Deere gator with a bed in the back for hauling things. This was awesome when I was transporting flowers and potting soil to the back yard. Kaitlyn was WAY into it!!! The trick was catch Taylor before she pulled the flower heads off. I love 2 year olds!!!

Wishin' we had grass!!!!!
