We have a FENCE!!!!

Last week we were very busy.  A week ago I went with Sam to look at a motorcycle and while we were gone a friend called and asked if we were home because our neighbor kids were playing in my garden.  This is the 2nd time it has happened and the 2nd I have had to replant, I draw the line with my garden.  I had had it!  I wasn't very nice (this happens all the time, we find evidence of them in our backyard when we are gone and even in our garage taking out our bikes and toys to play with) so I told Sam I had to have a fence.  He took the next day off work (thank heavens for a wonderful job), we bought the materials and went to work.  First day it looked like this:

and Luke looked like this:

he thought this was the best thing that ever happened.  He was filthy and had the time of his life!
The 2nd day it looked like this:

and by Saturday we had it finished and I was one happy person!  The final product:

Fathers and Sons Campout

This last weekend Sam took Luke and Seth camping.  They had a fabulous time except for the absolute filthiness they came back in.  On Saturday they went 40-wheeling for hours with some friends and they were covered when they got.  I wish you could tell from the pictures.  As soon as I saw the boys all I could do was laugh.  They were so dirty!!!

Talent Show!

Wow it just seems like I just posted and I looked at the date and realized it's been several weeks!!!  Where does the time go?  Not to mention what have I been doing?  (****thinking****) oh yeah, planting the garden, watching kids, canning chicken, exercising, life, life, life some more, and getting ready for our ward talent show.  I am in charge so I thought I better do something in it so this is what I have been working on, wish me luck!

one of THOSE days

Do you ever have one of THOSE days?  Today was one of those for me.  I knew it the moment I woke up and even warned Sam.  He likes (that's not the right word but maybe appreciates) it when I warn him that I am going to have that kind of day.  I try to make it different but it's just doesn't work until I get to go to bed.  I don't understand but I can feel it.  I try to be nice but wow is it hard!  I was having a pity party until I saw this and then I felt terrible because my life is good and I have nothing to complain about.  Hope this helps brighten your week! :)
