we've been busy!

 
The big kid in the green coat is my dad. ahahahahhh  We took him to the circus for his 62nd birthday!  Happy Birthday DAD!


 
Holly and Greg came and decorated the house while we were away.  Holly made a super cake too. 
 
This is what's keeping me so busy these days....family!   (don't you just love this family photo! hahahah  not sure what jack and glen were looking at.  Ginger and Gretchen are cute looking at each other, plus, this seems like the typical family photo.  Doesn't this just tell a story in itself!  I think every family probably has a photo like this where only one person is actually looking in the right direction hahahah) 
 
This is also what's been taking up the other half of my time.  right after Gretchen was born, Glen and I built the fence, stained the fence, planted a garden (with much help from holly), weed the garden, weed the whole back yard  (the weeds were 3 feet tall everywhere!  we had a jungle in the front and back yard), laid rock, raked dirt and dead weeds, spread topsoil, and finally just yesturday with the help from Glen's family,we finished laying sod everywhere!  hurray, the hard work is finally paying off.    ( I think our neighbors like us better now that we don't have a jungle growing in the front yard anymore.) 
NExt we're going to get some plants for the rock border.
