1st Time for everything!

I decided since we have moved out to more fertile ground I would start a garden. This is my first experience with gardening! Before this I only picked the veggies and fruit that had grown to enjoy. I didn't realize how much work it was to prep and till the ground! It didn't help much that the garden is on a downhill grade. Since this was my project Jason made me do everything myself. Oh, I have to give him credit for cutting the 2X4's to hold the fencing. I can't count how many blisters I got from shoveling clay! My friend and I planted the seeds a few days ago. Two days later we got 2 inches of snow. I hope my brown thumb doesn't ware off on this garden. Brown meaning I usually make things go brown not green!

Jake got up close with S.W.A.T.!

Over Christmas break we were able to go home as a family. My brother is a S.W.A.T. officer there. All of the family was over at my parents when my brother decided to stop by on his break. Jake was so "scary" as he says. Bro had all the get-up on, a gun strapped to each leg and a gun in a holster on his belt. Extra ammo all over the place! Jake was in awe, his mouth didn't shut. Jake wanted to know why his uncle could carry a gun and if he could touch it. It was a good lesson for him on gun safety! Now Jake wants to be a police officer. I hope that idea will fade for moms sake.

Katelynd's Science Project

Katelynd was busy last week getting her science project done. She decided to test soda pop and juice on teeth. Yes, real teeth. Her project was titled Soda pop and Tooth decay. She got 2nd place and is going to the regionals. Katelynd was so excited! Good job Katelynd Keep working hard!

Flushed Away!! No, not literally!

OK I had to ask special permission from Lindsay to put this on the blog. Lindsay got her lower braces on the other day. The orthodontist was very busy that day and left Lindsay waiting for sometime in the chair looking like this. It cracked me up, I had to take a picture. As soon as they put that contraption in her mouth I got an image in my head of the girl from flushed away, they were twins. It was even funnier watching her when she was talking. She was so mad at me for taking pictures of her like that. They will only be used for torture later on in life.

Lindsay the Helper!

The whole time we were sledding Lindsay was helping with Jake and his wipe outs! She's the one in the grey bundled up, she was so cold! We all had alot of fun playing in the snow!

Jake Bombed down the hill!

Jake had a great time playing in the snow after the big snow storm this week. We went with some friends sledding. Jake climbed that hill so many times. He slept really good that night!

Fun in the Snow!

We can't find many places out here to snowboard. So Katelynd found a good spot out behind Old Navy. She had fun boarding on the hill.
