Glorious Grass


I forgot I had this picture! It was just after Mother's Day. We finally got some more grass in the backyard. I swear this is the third and hopefully the final time we have to lay sod. I mean it is fun to have some friends come over and all, but I'd rather just have a BBQ instead of making everyone work. It may not have been so bad, but the soil out here is seriously clay. D'Ohgee gets clumps in her paws and my floors are always muddy.  So thanks Brandon, Dad, and Todd for all your help. We promise to water from here on out.

MOAB






This past weekend we went with Jenn and Brandon to Moab. We had such a good time.  We got to see a lot of the Arches and we even took the Hummer four-wheeling. It was pretty hot. The campground had a really nice pool, the water had a lot of natural elements in it. I think they were herbal remedies. I think we broke Brandon's tent, the wind blew and it just took off, I couldn't stop laughing Jenn had enough sense to go catch it.  We had a really good time, I wish it could have lasted longer!

Tree take 1



 So for G.K.'s room we have a jungle theme! Patrick put a real tree in the corner. He got the tree a couple of months ago, we have had it outside drying out... or so we thought! It is still alive and growing. So we need to take it out, but I really like it. Anyway we hope the next one works better!

Mother's Day




On Mother's Day weekend Patrick gave me the best gift I could ever ask for (except a hammock)! He planted me a garden and fixed the whole back yard. My favorite thing in the whole wide world are garden fresh tomatoes. I could eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner. I think Patrick was jealous because Sam at work is my usual supplier of tomatoes and I always talk about how good Sam's tomatoes are. We also planted strawberries and raspberries and blackberries too. D.O.G. helped out a lot too. So thanks for the awesome weekend everyone!

Boondocks

C'aira with her boyfriend Darren
Jenn, Kortni, and Patrick
Quenton, Alyssa, Garret, and Megan
Sorry they are so hard to see.  It was the only time they would stand still Paxton, McKell, Dyllan, and Braydon.
This weekend Jason and Jenn's family came into town. Patrick and I haven't seen them since Thanksgiving so it was really fun to see them!  We had pizza then went to Boondocks (Patrick wouldn't let me do very much) and we played lots of games. Some went on the slick-track and some played mini-golf.  It was fun to all be together but have enough room for everyone to play.
