Almost ready for grass!


After months of prep work, our backyard was ready to be trenched and Wednesday we got it trenched! Tuesday we bought all of our sprinkler supplies and this Saturday we get to start puting our sprinklers in! We are so excited! We are that much closer to having a yard and grass! Eventually we would like to be in our yard without getting dusty, dirty, or muddy! Bailey especially would like that. We have found some priceless treasures in our yard, such as rebar, asphalt, lots of garbage, large chunks of concrete, and many, many rocks!

Our weather has been really nice lately so we like to get out for family walks in the evenings. This is a picture of little SWB after one of our walks!
Lately if Bailey is tired she will go upstairs and put herself to bed. This is an example. Saturday morning we did lots of running around and by the afternoon she was exhausted!

So the other day I was running on our treadmill and after I was done running I heard Bailey saying, "Mom, I am ready to get out!" I couldn't figure out where she was. I was hoping she was on the potty as we have been trying to encourage her to go potty in the toilet, but she wasn't on the potty. So I said, "Bailey you are ready to get of where?" To which she replied, "I'm ready to get out of Spency's bed." The funny girl had climbed into her brother's bed and couldn't get herself out!
I just thought this picture was priceless. It might be a little more if they weren't in their pajamas, but nonetheless this was such a cute photo opp!

You look like you're going to have a nice, big, fun backyard to play in. I'm always envious of people with big backyards. I like having a pool, but we only use it 4 months out of the year, and then the rest of the year our backyard is pretty much useless since the pool takes up so much space.

Baily's bed looks like a bed I use to have when I was little.

Spencer!! What's up!! It's great to see your beautiful family!! Minute Maid Park is Awesome! I opened up another Pest Control company in Dallas last year, so we moved from Houston up to McKinney, TX just north of Dallas. I still have my business in Houston too and go down every few months or so. What are you doing in Utah now? Email me your phone # and we'll catch up sometime.

Hey there. I am not going back teaching next year. We added on an addition and I am doing in-home preschool. I have 11 kids signed up so far and I am hoping for a few more. Lauren Barney is going to be helping me. I am excited to start this new adventure.

I just read on your profile that Spencer was born March 12th that is my birthday! It's a great time for a birthday here because it usually falls right before or during spring break, I don't know if he will have the same luck in Utah since they are year round up there.
