Randomness

  • We bought a partner tree for our Apple tree and will be planting it on the other side of the yard, it is a dwarf granny smith (Tyler's favorite)
  • The tomatoes and peppers are growing nicely on the counter
  • We just threw out our 2nd large dumpster load of gardens stuff away (weeds, old corn stalks) and only have a 1/3 of the garden left.
  • We are buying some hog fencing for a fence for the garden this year (way excited!)
  • We are growing, watermelons, honeydews, cantaloupe and cucumbers up trellis' this year (thank you Brett!)
  • We are excited to put in a watering system (PVC, I have been told is very easy, way excited, although I am sure the neighbors will be the excited ones when they don't have to water when we go on vacation...lol)
  • We are in the 60's today, and they boys are covered in dirt...love it!
  • We enjoyed a trip back to Washington with Uncle Ken to see Grandma and Grandpa over spring break.
  • Grandma took me out, got my hair cut and colored and got me and manicure and a pedicure the day before HER birthday... how that worked out I don't know.
  • Me, Ken and Tyler went back to High school. Saw one of my and Ken's favorite teachers, saw what they are doing to the school and what they have already done... holy cow! Change!
  • Drove past the new High school in town, still is weird to have more than one high school.
  • Enjoyed some time on the Dingy, Dad got a new motor for his boat, so we all went out and enjoyed a couple of minutes on the Columbia... the boys loved it! They were sure they were Whale hunting.
  • Tried to watch Avatar in 3d.. got sick, had to walk out. (since Chemo, I have major motion sickness issues)
  • Cameron is now pointing out letters when he sees them, he knows about half his letters
  • Kevin now draws his letters with no help and is starting to spell out words he sees.
  • Cameron can count to 10, Kevin counts to 20
  • I am finally getting back into a routine with the house, keeping it cleaner, keeping up instead of having to catch up, making life at home much more pleasant.
  • The boys are growing up to fast and surprise me more and more everyday.. they are best friends and tag team Mom every so often.
  • We attempted potty training with Cameron, and he goes on the potty when he wants to, he is in a stubborn stage and wants to do it his way... surprise surprise.
  • Tyler is loving teaching Technology, got a night school digital media class to go and is enjoying it.
  • Tyler is also applying for the PhD program at ISU to start next fall. We are excited to finish what we started.
