Well I guess I'll at least tell Liz what we are up to. Emma just graduated from Preschool and is taking a Kindergarten prep class for a week at the library. The kids loved Disneyland and still can't stop talking about it. They pretend they are there all the time. I will post some pictures when I get on the other computer. Kimball got me an iMac computer for Mother's Day and the kids got me an ipod (stuff we had been talking about for a while). It was a surprise and he's scared when I tell him I will try and outdo him for Father's Day! We have been spending a lot of time in our yard as well. Last year we did sprinklers and pavers in the backyard and grass and flowers for the beds. This year we just had a shed put in and had to reroute some sprinklers and tear out some sod. We are also getting a hot tub through work and had to tear out all the pavers we did last year and pour concrete to put it on. We are also putting up a deck to the second floor and had to reroute more sprinklers to put the supports in the ground. We also hope to get the fence in and get some rocks out front. I can now see why people hire a landscaper and just get it all done right in the first place. We are also still trying to finish the downstairs bathroom. We are hoping to get a few things done soon and have plenty of time to play in the summer. We painted our garage blue with a big "Y" and it is the envy of the neighborhood guys. I post a picture of that too if I remember. I guess thats' all for now.

Sorry Rebecca I know you try really hard to let everyone know what's going on with you and I really appreciate it. I check the blog sometimes to see if anything new is there. But I suppose I should post sometimes too. I feel like I don't have a lot to say, or I just babble on and on.

We've been working really hard in our yard. We just took down a shed in our back yard and planted our garden, which I am so excited for this year, we built a pen for our turtles that is 12 feet by 6 feet. If you didn't know we have five turtles now. Three adults and two babies. We are a little fanatical but they are fun to have. We want to take out all the rocks in our backyard, which is half the backyard and put grass in. I want to plant some trees and fill in the front with flowers and bushes. We have a lo of things we want to do but I don't now what we'll get done with this year. It's fun to have our own yard and do what we want with it. It's a lot of work to but it's very satisfying.

I love you all very much. Rebecca we need to tell everyone to start reading this again.

Please reply or post if there is anyone who still uses this thing before I spend too much time putting something on here.
