Yard Work

Now that spring is finally here, we are getting some yard work done. Russell rented a tractor last week, during his and the kids' Spring Break, and got our top soil spread out. The kids really had fun "driving" the tractor with him.

Then Saturday, we spent most of the afternoon raking the back yard. The kids had fun using their own tools, and Kenyon had a ball putting rocks in the wheel barrow. We hope to plant some grass by this weekend, but I guess that depends on the weather (we got about 2 inches of snow yesterday, and since it was so cold it took most of today for it to melt).

New House Update

I thought I would update everyone on how the new house is coming. We spent all weekend (from Tuesday to Saturday, I say weekend becuase it was long because of Thanksgiving and every day felt like Saturday) painting. We got the ceiling and walls DONE!! We still have to paint the trim and the closets, but that doesn't feel like much after what we've already done. I don't have any pictures, I was too busy painting. I will try to remember to take some and post them. My dad is doing the finish electrical for us and he has the kitchen, front room and hall done except for lights. It is really starting to look like a house. We expect to be in anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks, which means before Christmas!!

Here are some pictures of Kyler helping Russell Blow the insulation into the attic. He is smiling under his mask, even though it doesn't look like it. He has been such a good helper with the house.
