Where are you summer?

I thought I would brighten things up a bit and make this page a little more girly... for you Ryan, and bring some summer into our lives. The winter is officially unwelcome, and I am ready to see some color. Our garden was plowed today, in hopes we could start planting soon, but it has been snowing on and off all day and has been blowing on and on all day...not a good sign for the veggies. On a good note we have recieved a few bids on our sprinkler system installation and we are ready to put out some green so we can grow some green. I can almost see the color now. One day I am going to be running on some green grass through the sprinklers and be warm at the same time. We are waiting summer! Please come.

The Snow is Finally Gone

Here we go, are first blog here in the north country. The snow has finally gone revealing the unfinished yard that has been so very well hidden over the last 6 months. I finished hauling top soil last fall at a final count of 32 loads, and big loads at that. Koreen and the boys went to New Mexico last week to visit her sister and her family. Earlier in the year Koreen and I went to Akumal Mexico, which is about 60 miles south of Cancun on the Yucatan Penisula. It was a blast, we went with my parents, Darold and Sheryl and the Richesons. We did a little site seeing, but most of all just did a whole lot of laying out on the beach. We couldn't have picked a better week to go, while we where gone the INL Site shut down three times and my drive way blew in about every day.

The boys, Chandler (8), Carson (6), and Benjamin (2) have been anxiously waiting for spring for a long time, now all they want to do is play baseball and ride their dirt bikes, and the occasional dog poop scooping on the side (which comes after many hours of persuasion and the oppurtunity to make a buck or two).

We'll, thats all for now. Take care friends and family.
