Evan's Activities

Evan is very active and always on the move. This weekend he did a little crafting. He had a wooden alligator that needed painting. He love to paint so he was very excited about that project.


His friend from next door is moving, so they played together as much as possible this weekend. Lots of football, trampoline jumping, lizard finding and treasure digging were all on the agenda.

"Painting takes a lot of concentration."

"This is so fun!"

"Throw the ball to me!"

Ice Cream Treat

Chad and I had some time to kill before picking Evan up from school yesterday. I decided to treat he and Evan (we got his to go) to some ice cream. It was a nice mid-week pick me up!


Chad posed for me with his glasses and then without his glasses. I think they both look great.

More Flag Football Fun

Last Saturday Evan played his last two flag football games of the season. He was a little moody because he attended a sleepover birthday party the night before and said that he went to sleep at 2 a.m. and woke up at 5 a.m.


Todd was a trooper and helped coach the team. He loves football and is great with kids, so it was a good fit and I think he enjoyed doing it.

Sidewalk Removal Progress

When we moved in our current house about three years ago, we realized that we had a lot of projects to do. One involves removing the sidewalks in our backyard. 


The story is that the previous owner had a love of roses and planted the whole backyard with rose bushes. She had concrete paths laid throughout the back yard and the roses planted in between. I can imagine it was beautiful.


Now, the concrete paths have affected our drainage and that is not a good situation when we get a lot of rain or experience a hurricane. Thus, we really need to remove them. 


A few months ago, Todd rented a jackhammer and spent two long days cracking the sidewalk up. Now, we have finally gotten use of a bobcat to lift up and remove the sidewalk. Our friend who is letting us use the bobcat did a trial run a few days ago to see if he and Todd's plan would work. He tried to lift the sidewalk up in several different places, to no avail. I started to get concerned that the bobcat would not be able to A) get underneath the sidewalk and B) actually be powerful enough to lift the pieces.


Finally, we found a place where Todd had broken up the sidewalk a bit already and the bobcat was able to lift and remove a large piece. Yes, now the work begins!

Chad's New Table

Chad has been wanting a table for his bedside forever. Todd finally broke down and bought him one. Chad put it together himself and was very proud of his project. Way to go Chad!

Cutie Clark

My brother and sister-in-law sent me some new photos of my nephew, Clark. What a cutie! He looks just like my brother...it's scary!!!

New Sofa

After all of our searching, we finally decided on which sofa to get for our living room. We ordered it a few weeks ago and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival ever since. This past week I got a phone call that it would be delivered. We were so excited when the truck pulled up. We love the sofa and hope to enjoy it for many years to come!

Finally, it is here!

Everything was wrapped up very good.

Yea! A nice and cozy sofa to watch t.v. on.
