We got curbing done this morning  so here's some pictures:  We were going to talk to the neighbor and see if they'd like to have curbing around the utilities and he just happened to come out when we were just getting started.  So we talked to him and he thought it would be great - only question was who's paying for it? He was more than happy to split the cost.

This is by the driveway. As you can see, Roger Hunt is running for office again. He said he didn't want to do it but someone talked him into it and his signs are all over the place, including ours!!

This is across the front 

This is the back where we took out the tree and the trellis.  Hopefully I'll be able to get a start of a dark purple lilac from the neighbor to put here.  I wouldn't mind a white one to go with it but we'll see in time.

We did a bunch of work on the weeds in the back yard and I made Dad dig up this bush that was under the tree.  He also dug out the one back in the corner next to the fence but I didn't get a picture because I was busy doing my own thing!

It will take time to get things done the way we want them.  We have to get some areas worked up to put what garden I've started in.   I've got some tomato plants, butternut squash, sweet meat squash and a zucchini starts growing in the house and they will need to be planted before too long.  Sure hope we get past the frosts soon.  It was 27 degrees this morning and everything was pretty frosty.  

With all the rain we had yesterday the little red wagon had water in it and there was a thin layer of ice on top!

Tomorrow we get to rest again - going to the temple. 

IT'S RAINING TODAY so we don't have to work outside.  Maybe our sore bodies can feel better!

I'm really doing good with my blog!! NOT  I've been busy and don't think about it.  Well, I've got some pictures to post so here goes.
   One morning I looked out the back sliding door and this was how Cheyanne was laying.

Crazy Dog

Yesterday we had a family dinner for Easter.  It was a little on the windy side and the wind was a little on the chilly side.  The plan was to eat outside and even though it was cooler than Saturday we went for it.  This is a picture of Grandma & Grandpa.

Cassey was squatted down for a long time and we were wondering what she was doing.  She was actually playing with dandelions 

(of which we have to many right now!)

Here are a few other pictures of our day.

Later we skyped with Heather.  Grandma & Grandpa really enjoyed visiting with her and seeing the kids.

The kids had to tell us about their Easter and Mason had to tell us about his birthday.  Emma played the violin for me and did a great job.  She was holding her violin and Carter was playing with the vacuum.  Heather meant to tell him not to plug the vacuum in but she said, "Carter, don't plug the violin in."  

Justin was standing by me, watching & listening and he thought that was so funny. I don't know if I've ever seen him laugh so much.  Later he had to tell his mom about it and was still laughing!!!

Fun day.

 Remember the ugly bushes by the driveway in front of the house?

We took them out on Saturday and cleaned the whole flower bed out.  We're going to take the stones out and have curb put in then lay that black stuff that's suppose to keep the weeds from coming up.  I've got flowers I want to put in and we are going to try to find some rock instead of bark to put down.

 I cleaned up this flower bed too and we'll do the same here.  We're going to put stepping stones to the faucet and you can see where we started.

Today we worked in the back yard because we are going to put curb there too.

So in this picture - Now you see it

Now you don't!! 

We took out the bush and the trellis and prepared for the curb.

I want to put in a lilac, an azalea and maybe a hydrangea.

Getting the bush out wasn't easy and we are both wiped out tonight.

Today I'm thankful for shovels, picks, hoola hoes, 

and a new bottle of Deep Blue Rub!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we get the curbing in I'll post more pictures.
