Before & After

Before the retaining walls

After 2 1/2 days of sweat, some arguing, and a ton of lemonade we (after 7 years) have a great side yard!!! YAHOOOOOOO

I Hope!!

Words cann't express how much I love Grandma- To see how wonderful of a lady that she is. The positive and upbeat attitude is such an inspirtation to me. I HOPE that someday I will grow up to be just like grandma. Grandma- I love you :)

Just Learning

Layne had a great time teaching the kids how to run the excavator. I didn't get a picture of Randy, but he used it the most

dirt city

Layne got a little crazy with the excavator a couple of weeks ago. We had the underground power line short out that goes to our well, so we had to dig a new line in. Layne went to rent a trencher, but it was broken down so they gave him an excavator for the same price. Big mistake on their part. We had it for two full days of fun, fun, fun. Now we have weeks of work, work, work :)

New terracing in the back

Trench for the new power line

This is the beginnings of the root cellar- should be good!!

2 Wheelers

Coop was so excited when he learned to ride without training wheels. We were are Joddi's and he asked if he could ride one of their bikes. Layne said that he would help him and gave him 1 push and that was that!! He rode that bike pretty much for the next 4 hours. I was great to see him accomplish something that he has wanted for a long long time- Way to go Coop!!

Missing Pictures- take 2

Our 4-H club hosts a livestock show every year in June. The kids did a great job in showing their animals. All three showed sheep. Randy won the junior sheep showmanship award and recieved a awesome jacket with his name on it.

He also showed his steer"Buster" for the very first time. Randy has worked very hard with him, so he is very gentle. He did an awesome job!!
