Homecoming

 

It's been a long year for Nik and Bill and kids but finally Bill came home last night!! They both did a great job and we are so glad Bill's home safe and sound! Now they can get on to the business of family life as we all know it:) What a sacrifice our military families make for us! Thank You Bill, NIk, Evan, Sarah and Liam!! WE love you!!

It's almost time!

This time next week I will be packing my bags for our cruise!

The finished lawn!! Whew!!!

 
It turned out nice! Lush green grass that nobody can go on for about a month:):}

Redoing Nik's backyard!!

 
Friday Nik and I decided to put in sod in her backyard. Great Idea!! We had no idea how hard it was going to be. I will never wonder why alot of the housing has no grass. Their dirt is cement. It was like digging in set clay. We almost gave up a couple of times but perservered and the result is a nice little plot of grass. It took us about 6 hours and some help from Dad when he got off work, two trips to the sod farm, a couple limeaides from Sonic, lot's of water, a phone call from Bill, lemonaide from Sarah and Mia, encouragement from Nik with the words " a little at a time and we'll get it done."

Visits with three of my boys in April:):)

Coopers idea of feasting on the scriptures:)
