Photos I Want To Share

Here's a few new photos I thought you might enjoy seeing...


Easter Sunday, Gina & the kids came out. They had a blast using Justin's potato gun to shoot russetts across the pond to the fields behind our house. Joe and Justin have really grown up, haven't they?



Me and James and Josh taking a quick photo while we were all together! They all grow up so fast!

So Busy

Well, the weather has been very nice. But I have yet to get out there and enjoy it! My former boss asked me to help him do some work. Turns out, his partner (whom I always had suspicions about) has been lying, which, in turn equates to stealing in the business they were in. More detail than I really wish to put in here. Suffice it to say, we are "building a case" for the dissolution of the company/partnership that was. ~ So, I have been keeping busy.

Ted is working in Faribault this weekend for overtime. The refi that I mentioned before, turned out to be no better than what we already have, sooooo, back to the drawing board. I don't know, I kind of feel like God is getting us ready for a change...but what? He hasn't revealed that to us yet!

Nothing really exciting to share this week... same 'ol - same 'ol! We are LONGING to get away on a vacation...of course, we would love for it to be somewhere WARMER than here!

Mother's Day will be spent with family in Iowa. Scott and Amber (The little brother I always wanted ;-)) are having their new daughter Elizabeth Anne Marie dedicated/baptized on Mother's Day! How special for Amber to have her 1st mommy's day be the same day!

We will all be walking in the MS Walk as a team "On the trail for Bambi" for my sister on Saturday.

Ahhh SPRING!!!

I know, it has been a LONG time since my last post... Sorry! I had my brand new computer CRASH and had to do a complete restore and recover...Anyone who has done it before knows that it takes FOREVER to get it back up and running! Took me LITERALLY 3 days on the phone with tech support, and I still have issues!

-Nuff said! IT'S SPRING!!!! How blessed we have been to have 9 days of 70 or above! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and all the windows are open sending a refreshing breeze in my stale closed up house! Albeit even windy some days, whistling through the side windows, I have enjoyed it! I am, however, ready for the spring rains and even storms!

This weekend we were able to fertilize and recharge our sprinkler system. The empty field across the street from us is like a busy ant farm. There are plows, tractors, and trailers readying the open area for new roads to weave in and out of our development. Maybe it will ease some of the frustrating stress of cars passing WAY TOO FAST! Too many times I have seen small children almost get hit!

Easter was nice. Quiet this year, and very enjoyable. Gina, Justin, Brandon & Taylor were here. The Easter bunny came and went...he's so sneaky! Marilynn & Earl were here, after having dealt with walking pneumonia, she managed to cook a complete dinner and cater it to our house! Amazing, I don't think she realized how tired and weak she would feel being so soon after being bedridden. Thank you Marilynn!

Kids are skateboarding, listening to music, and now, the plan to graffiti the room above the garage is taking shape! Brandon is moving in with Josiah for a while and they are plotting and planning the details of decor...and pretty excited!

Looks like we will finally be able to refi our house! Yeayyy! Keep praying, it's not over until the papers are signed!

Selah, our Malt-Tzu, is going to be a-sexual after tomorrow morning. Yippee! Maybe that will calm him down some more. Surgery starts at 8:30 am...The kids are having fun teasing him about the events to come...as he runs for a stuffed bear, or ape...sheesh!!!

One last beautiful day...Time to make my "To Do" list...
