Easter

Easter was great! Kellen found his Easter eggs as soon as he came into the living room in the morning. I put some yogurt melts and fruit gummies in colored plastic eggs, and he got so excited when he saw inside them. When he saw his Easter basket he started to bang his shovels on the tile in the dining room, Kellen might be a drummer in the future! We had everyone over to our house and grilled up some burgers in the afternoon. It was absolutely beautiful out side so we had horseshoe and croquet games going. Kellen was really helpful with making the croquet game interesting by moving the wickets around for the players.

Yard Work

The house when we first saw it in April 2008, and then just one year later after a lot of hard work

For the last two weeks, when we have had a chance, we've been doing some serious yard work trying to transform our yards into something we could be proud of. Andrew did a wonderful job taking out all the rocks in the front, laying a new drip system both in the front and on the hill in the back yard, installing the bender board in the front, and digging the holes where I wanted them for the new plants. We've had such wonderful weather these days and it's felt so great to get out and work on our projects. Wow, what a change!

Sprinkler Fun

Kellen recently found out how much fun it is to play in sprinklers, so now whenever he sees one he has to play in it!

Horsie

Kellen loves to climb onto our backs and ride around the house. He will jump on our backs if he sees us just lay down, he's even climbed on Andrew's stomach for a ride when he laid down on his back! Kellen's other new favorite thing to do is to play with a pile of laundry, all the more fun if he is taking it out of Andrew's hamper, but he is happy as a clam to sit in a pile and play.

Pickles

Kellen loves pickles, and Kiersten was sweet enough to share hers. Pickles for breakfast... it's a veggie...right??
