Yard Work

Along with a new house comes yard work. For the past few weeks we have been working in yard. Before we can put in grass we have to put in the sprinkler system. We have the trenches all dug and the pipes are all laid. Now if the weather will cooperate we can finish up and get ready to lay all the sod. The top pic is Jon laying the pipes and the other is Jon and Sarah having to dig under the sidewalk to run the pipes underneath. If you were wondering yes Jon is standing in a hole that he hand dug to connect the sprinklers to the water main.

Getting Bigger

I went to get something from my room and when I came out the boys and Dash had pulled the curtain down off the sliding door. They blamed each other and the dog so they all went to time out. I told the boys to sit and Dash went and sat in time out too.

Dash's favorite place to be during meal time is under the table sitting right in front of Kyler. (since he is the most likely to spill)

During nap time Dash brought his blanket out and laid down in front of the couch where Landon was having quiet time. It is so nice when both boys nap at the same time and a triple bonus when Dash sleeps too.

One Year Later...

Well, those of you who don't remember March 17, 2008 was when our lives got turned upside-down. Within a few hours three very drastic things happened to us. Jon had about 3 inches of his collar bone removed, I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks, and little Kyler broke his leg. I am glad to report that this St. Patrick's Day has come and gone with no glitches. So just to update on the three issues of a year ago, Jon's collar bone is doing better. He will never be 100% but is doing well, and he will never be able to competitively swim again. I am doing just fine now.... I am due with a baby boy and have 10 weeks left of my pregnancy. As for Kyler, nothing has slowed him down. You would never know except for two very little scars on his ankle... even those you wouldn't notice if you weren't his mom.

Road Trip

This past weekend we spent a couple of days in Heber with some friends at their cabin. We had a blast. I was the first trip we've taken Dash on and he did really well. He loved being able to play in snow again. Saturday morning we took the boys sledding. Since once again I couldn't sled I took all the pictures. Jon, Dallas (Jon's best friend), Landon and Kyler had lots of fun playing in the snow. Next year Dallas' little boy will be big enough to join in the fun.

Boys will be Boys

Thursday Morning I thought I'd be safe to take a quick shower with out Jon being there to keep an eye on the boys. Oh, was I wrong! I put Dash in his room so that part of trouble making was out of the way. I put a cartoon on for the Landon and Kyler and quickly hopped in the shower. When I came out this is what I found. Two boys (with no pajamas on any more, just their underwear and undershirts) Two couches completely empty and lots of couch pillows all over the room. According to Landon they made the ultimate hop-scotch.
