The yard gets a face lift!

Bushes from back removed

(now we need to remove the old dishwasher from the side!!)

Huge pine that had its top lopped off removed
(see the pretty sunset in the background?)

Suggestions welcome for ideas to replace open areas. I like it plain, but would

like to add a bit here and there. With the ideas, help is also welcome:)

Dad's birthday

After a meal of rib eye steak, twice baked potatoes, french-style green beans,

and red grapes Dad and kids pose in front of his traditional chocolate eclair cake.

Happy birthday:)

Nathan is 17!

Dad gave Nathan his gift - $$ toward an X-Box:)

Yummy apple pie for his birthday celebration!

Spring is here!

Jenna, Elise, & our neighbor, Merritt inspecting, smelling and displaying

the daffodils in our back yard.

Jenna and Nathan in their Easter best.

Elise found her basket behind the videos:)

Jenna found hers last - it was well hidden behind the music in the cupboard!

Elise's birthday

Elise turned 10!! Her wish was lunch at McDonald's - yum:)

Posing in the playroom - see the "10"?

We celebrated with cake with our community group:)
