Thursday Vs Friday

Each time I do some back breaking work in the yard, I remind myself that I went to college and I should be paying people to do this type of work. Some how that never happens.

On Thursday, I ordered 15 yards of Bark/wood chips for our flowerbeds. I had previously measured and while dad was here on Wednesday setting up our new grapevines, he helped me re-measure. 15 yards was what I needed.

Luckily, Deni help me and we worked hand in hand for 2 days on the yard.

The comforts of home

Every once in a while, I go looking for deals at Garage Sales. This has to be my best find. Cabelas shower, in original shrink wrap - for $10 bucks.

Going to take this on every camp out I go on now.

Set it up in the backyard and added the towels for the picture. Can't wait for a warm summer day camping and I can take a shower.

On Track

Who said the Pinewood Derby is about the Boys?

New Diet

Ryan and I started a new diet today, while in Park City.

We love the results already.

Pinewood Derby 2010

Waiting patiently for his turn on the track.

The first race.

The car.  Ryan won a few races, and lost a few races.  Regardless of the outcome, he was always happy and high fiveing his opponent. (get's that from his mother).

Ryan's cousins came to see him race.

Visit to Great Grandma Bowers

On the way home from Phoenix, we took a less direct route home and detoured through Heber, AZ for a day and got to visit with Grandma Bowers.

Grandma Bowers is 87 and we're not sure how much longer she'll be around, so we thought it appropriate to stop and visit her for a little bit.

Ryan, Grandma Bowers, Deni and Sydney.

Phoenix Zoo

Grandma and Grandpa Bigler took the whole family to the Phoenix zoo.

Although today was the warmest day (high 80's) of our trip, we had a great time with Kati, Boston and Katelyn, Jessica, Mataya, and Camden, and Grandma and Grandpa Bigler.

This isn't a great picture of Syd, but it a very funny picture of her cousin Mataya (notice she's drinking straight from the teat.)   This is a fake cow, that you could "milk" and water would come out.

Long lost sibling. Ryan, the baboon, and Sydney.

Deni and me

There was a little water park on the inside and because it was high 80's the kids took the opportunity to plan in the water and cool off.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bigler for taking us to the Zoo.

Bibs for Babies

You can never find the "I love Uncle Brett" bibs for babies. They have plenty of "I love Mommy" or "I love Daddy", but no "I love Uncle Brett".

So I decided to make my own. It needs a little polishing, but for now, it serves its purpose.  This is Katelyn Bryce (Kati and Boston Bryce - Kati is Deni's youngest sister.)
