Front yard party

I think Kyle really just wanted an excuse to hang out with friends all day and ride around on a skidsteer, so he...Went out front and tore out the pond. And bushes. Removed and recycled the fence. Cut down this huge tree. (two of them, actually)Then, some friends (and my big brother) showed up to help remove this massive stump and over a ton of cement. (literally!) Shovels, dull chainsaw, sawsall, one big dodge truck, chains, skidsteer, sweat, tears, gatorade, pizza, and hours later...SUCCESS! (and the definite need for a broom)

Thanks everyone for all the help! Our front yard will look great when we finish the sprinklers and grass!

JJ! 12? HoLy CoW!

JJ celebrated his 12th birthday this month. He's such a blessing in our home. I LOVE THIS YOUNG MAN!

He was a spider in the ward roadshow (a traveling skit) at church. So cute! He jumped right in and did a great job. (sorry about the red-eye-I'm in the market for some good photo editing software)
