Digging, shoveling, raking, planting, watering, playing, dirt, and more dirt and lots of helpers!!!


The last two weekends have been a whirlwind of activity in our backyard. We were the beneficiaries of some wonderful help two weekends ago as we moved (Wade- thanks for the Bobcat help!), shoveled and raked out 25 cubic yards of topsoil in our front and backyard. We want to thank all of those who helped including: Mom & Dad (Vach), Kirsten, Pat, Wade, Spencer, Kaleb, and Corey and his kids. We were able to get the backyard seeded and most of the front prepped for seed. This past weekend Karen and I were able to plant 25 of the 44 "Emerald" 5' trees along the street side of our property. We plan on planting the rest of the "Emeralds" this week along with seeding the front yard. We have put in many hours of hard work to get to this point and it is fun to look at the results. Anyone wanting to see the results are more than welcome to stop by!





The quote on Trevor's shirt is an understatement. Karen is a wonderful mother to Trevor and her love for him is evident everyday by the way she teaches, loves, serves, sacrifices, plays, reads, and cares for our little man. Trevor and his daddy sure are lucky to be around such a special mother and companion. We love you Karen aka Mommy!






Trevor said: "I must be in heaven man!"
Trevor thought he had died and gone to heaven when he saw all the dirt piled in the driveway. Unfortunately for Trevor his dream only lasted about a day and a half because the Bobcat quickly gobbled it up. Trevor is now asking: "What is next; bark?"

Our very own UFO clouds

We woke up on this beautiful Sunday morning to the sight of some UFO clouds.



These clouds are awesome!



Sprinkler System

Here are a couple of before our sprinkler system install pictures.




And here are a few of the results during the sprinkler install.




The finished yard product is still a few weeks away but we will keep you posted.

1st Easter

The camera caught Trevor giving it the "I know what you're up to" look for this Easter morning shot.
This picture is the "I am so happy" face we all see when Trevor comes speed walking across the floor with someone in tow.

This picture is Trevor showing us his "I have the best mommy ever" smile.






Rolling out the "white carpet"



Mom: "Trevor, what do you think you are doing?"
Trevor: "I am rolling out the white carpet for you."

Mom: "What is the special occasion?"
Trevor: "I wanted you to feel special as you made your way to the thrown."

Trevor: "Look Mom, it even makes for a great Caesar outfit!"

Chocolate Milk and Oreos




Splashing in muddy water and eating dirt isn't exactly the treat I would prefer but it suits Trevor very well. The sun has been shinning the last few days and we have been going outside every chance we get. Trevor loves it. If he didn't put every rock, leaf, and hand full of dirt in his mouth we would be out there all day long. He is so happy outside.
By the photos you can see we don't have grass yet but it is coming soon (hopefully). We are waiting to get a sprinkling system put in and we will be in business for top soil and sod. The garden is in the works, our boxes are up, blueberries are planted, and vegetable starts are brewing in the house. I am so excited for a garden this year. Yahoo!!!
