Good Morning!

It's freezing in our house this morning! I have much planned for the day but I'm so tempted to jump back in bed because it's warm in there. We have such a busy day today! We've been working in the backyard trying to get it ready to plant grass (or hydroseed). We rented a rototiller on Wednesday and have been raking out the weeds and rocks the last couple of nights. We're getting there. We're more than 3/4 of the way there. My goal for today is to get the rest of the side yard raked and plant some plants along that side of the house (by the A/C unit). We've got the sprinklers system in and working and we have the garden plots done. We just need to bring in the soil for them now.

So we're off to Lowe's this morning. Rake up the side yard. Plant some plants in the back. Plant some flowers in the front. The girls have a Primary activity at the church at 2:00. We have a birthday party/BBQ for Brandi at 3:30. My mom is coming to town tonight for an early Mother's Day dinner, and I'm on call (cross your fingers that no body needs emergency surgery today). Oh and Sage has a birthday party to go to from 11:00 - 2:00. I highly doubt we are going to get it all done but I'm sure going to try my best.

It's nice outside! A bit chilly still but sunny. Enjoy your day! I'll try to post pictures of the yard later.

2 New Pages

Here are a couple of new pages I made using Shabby Princess' New Promise Collection. Isn't it cute? I love the SP stuff! Marcia - no these aren't quick pages....I actually did them myself!

I cannot believe that I didn't post at all during the month of April! We spent most of our spare time working in the back yard. We got our sprinkler system put in thanks to our neighbor and our home teachers. We also build 2 garden boxes out of retaining wall block. They are 4' x 9' and we are looking forward to the warmer weather so that we can get our garden in. I already have 5 tomatoe plants that I'm nurturing along on my kitchen counter. Mom bought me 2 of them and JJ got the other 3 from work because someone refused a shipment. The pots are cracked but they are still thriving. I hope that we have tons of tomatoes to can and to eat. There's nothing better than a home grown tomatoe. Don't you think?

I am feeling mostly back to my old self since my surgery. I actually feel much better most of the time but I still am having a bit of a problem with some bloating. Thanks to my heating pad it's usually short lived. Overall, I'm very glad that I had the surgery and I would highly recommend it if you suffer from chronic reflux.

I'm getting ready to take a trip to SLC to see my friend Marcia. I'm taking Kellen (another friend from xray school), Sage & Lindsay with me. Kellen is from Kenya and is a hoot! It should be a very interesting trip! I'll post some pictures after I get back.

Well I'm off to the grocery store. I'm doing a once-a-month cooking group and I'm going to get everything cooked and in the freezer before the exchange in a couple of weeks. At least that is the plan.
