FYI our patio out by the swing is now finished. AND, as a bonus highlight of this post, you MUST watch this video...and check out some of this kid's other videos on YouTube. What an amazing talent.
It's made from blocks of our neighbor's patio they took out. It's pretty small, only about 6 feet by 7 feet, but I've put in a rock wall around it and it makes a nice little place to sit and enjoy the yard.
It is a lot nicer than it was. With 100% shade there, the grass was 80% gone by the end of the summer. The cement doesn't die, nor make mud! Nice to have a husband that is so good at improving our yard for cheap! All's it cost is labor-but it was a workout! Thanks honey!
I'm no longer "un-officially engaged". That's right. Your teasing and blunt hinting is old news. You all know the big news. No definite date yet, but it's looking like beginning to mid-July. *sigh* Long time. It actually works out great to do it then for when Katie's parents come home and Brigham's school stuff. I told Christa I'd put up pictures on here, but I realized I don't actually have many pictures. Mom and Dad have a few. These are a couple of pictures Pictures taken with my phone today. Better pictures coming, I'm sure.
Kiera still loves her 2 blankies. She also loves dressing up and especially loves "pretty yadie shoes" (dress up shoes). We took Kiera hiking in the foothills behind our house last week for a study break for Steve. She liked it. I think she is going to LOVE hiking in the woods someday.She was 100% potty trained before albaturkey and is now 100% un-potty trained again. I'm starting my last set of clinicals this week so I'm not going to start up potty training agin. Looks like we'll just have to continue spending $100 a month on diapers for a while. Lydia has been our little spit-fire lately. She is seeking revenge in grandma's behalf on her mommy. She loves unloading everything and getting into everything. Steve thinks she is just as opinionated as I am and thinks we are in for a difficult daughter. We'll see. I introduced the hose to her this week which she loved. I just finished our annual "NOW" (Nelson Organization for Women) convention. It is...
