Check out what we made! Okay, Dad may have been able to do this in an hour with his eyes closed, but for two untrained carpenters, we are pretty proud of ourselves. We built a sandbox! I really wanted one for the boys, but the kind they sell are tiny. I wanted one big enough for Benjamin and his joy school friends to be able to play in. So Brigham said he'd make one for me! He got the instructions on the internet, and with a lot of improvising (in order to keep it from costing an arm and a leg to buy all the recommended tools and wood), and an afternoon of hard work, we now have a sandbox! Pretty cool, huh? What a great husband I have to spend his one day off in the week making me a sandbox!

Looks like a professional job. Now all you have to worry about is all the cats in the neighborhood looking for a big litter box. :-O

I've heard that if you sprinkle pepper in there it will keep the cats away.

I notice that she has a tarp to cover it with to keep cats out. Good, fun toy for the kids. Does Jacob still like to eat sand?

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
