Our New Addition

Yes Its True We are Pregnant. It was quite a shock to us but this kind of thing happens for a reason. We are due August 22. And 90 percent sure it is a boy. So lets pray for the other 10 percent. He was stubborn like his father and would not move. But of course as soon as I leave he wouldn't stop. So for now until the next ultrasound unless he is stubborn again kind of like his sister rosie It will be a surprise. So I will just be buying neutral colors for now. Well thats my little update for today.

Easter and the crazyness I call life.

Easter was a crazy day. The girls woke us up a 5:45 wondering if the Easter Bunny came. And we told them they needed to go back to bed because it was to early to get up. Then when it was time to get up they were super excited. They thought they were going to eat candy at 7 in the morning. I planned a big breakfast for my father inlaw because we were going to go to my mother inlaws house for dinner. After breakfast and when the sprinklers finally went off they went on an easter egg hunt. Puff found an egg to and ate the jelly beans out of it. At 9:30 the dog groomer should up to give the dog a haircut. He really needed it.

While the dog was getting a hair cut the girls were getting ready to get there Easter pictures taken I put there good dresses on and did there hair when they were done we headed over to the park to take there pictures. Grandma needed an update picture. This was one picture it is so hard to get them to hold still. They just wanted to run around and they kept saying are we done yet.

Grandma's Picture

Then we went to grandma's to eat a ham dinner. Also big news the easter bunny went to grandma's. The easter bunny left jumpropes and bubble's it was a big hit. grandma loved and laughed that rosie was good at jumpropping.

Well yesterday was my final attempt to plant palm trees. We got some full grown mexican palms that looked great. But today the wind is going 50 miles an hour and they look bad again. I just have no luck. So we will see tomorrow how much damage the wind has done. The next step is shade trees .

Landscaping Projects........................

What a month. Lets see I can begin with shane had to take a layoff from work thought it was going to make a great deal of stress but as luck would have it our Bouncer rentals have gotten pretty busy we have booked up for the next 10 weeks. But Shane has been bored being home so much during the day that he has started doing some landscaping on the side which turns out to be going great. He is actually making more doing this a couple of times a week then he did working full time. Plus I have been going and helping him which is actually fun and it gives us a really good workout. Last friday we did a spring cleanup and today we cleared a yard to lay down sod on monday. We would finish it on friday but shane has a 12 hour clinical ride along. He only has a month left till he starts his new job which will turn out to be the job he was born to do I am so proud of him he is in the top of the class and is really loving it. He did a clinical at the gilbert hospital a couple of weeks ago and he loved it.

I am looking at some great recipes to bring to my mother inlaws house Sunday . Shanes stepfathers family is visiting and we are going to see them. I think I am going to make blueberry lime tiramisu. I thought it was very spring. I have also been working on the girls easter baskets.

I want to eat the candy I love easter, I love spring.

BEFORE AFTER

Afternoon In the Park

This afternoon the girls and I spent the afternoon in the park near our house. Shane needed to sleep because he did his clinical last night and was up all night and when he got home he needed to setup bouncers and then we went shopping so needless to say he was tired. To give him so quite time I took the girls to the park were they went on the swings and flew there kite. I hope it made them tired because watching them made me tired. They didnt want any help flying the kite so I took alot of pictures of them. It made me think of taking them to the desert botanical garden they are having a glass exhibit there so that might be next weekend.

Its up there mom

New Yard In Progress

For the last 2 weeks we have been working on our backyard. And as of today we are almost finished all we have left is the trees that will go in tomorrow. It is so nice to look back there and not see dirt. The irrigation system was put in yesterday and Shane put the sod in last night and today.We also had a fire pit put in and they extended our back patio.

Building the fire pit.

The new Patio and the sod.

My favorite part the mexican lime tree. It smells so good.

Father Daughter Dance

On Friday Shane took Rosie & Madison to the Father Daughter Dance. Rosie went last year, this was Madison's first time going. So we went out and got them fancy new dresses and new shoe's. Shane surprised them with wrist corsages they were so cute when they got them. They were excited all week to go. Shane predicted Rosie would take off to be with her friends and Madison would hangout with him and he was right I think the anxiety of the whole night got to Madison but the last hour she decided she was going to dance. They had a great time.
