Catching up

Sorry I'm not doing a very good job keeping this little blog going. :( I'm hopeful to have an April header sometime in April! ;-)
I haven't been taking pics like I normally do, but these phone pics will get you caught up on what we've been up to.
We had this dog show up at our house.  The kiddos named him Argenot (after a dog in a movie) and he was really sweet.  We left for a weekend and he was gone when we got back.  And we kinda miss him.

We have been working hard outside.  All the bushes that lined the front of the house are gone and we put in two flower beds, one on each side of the entryway.
Above is after the bushes are gone but before we started the flower bed.

After...much much better!

We added window boxes (basket thingies ;-) to two of the windows.

We made a quick trip to Arkansas to see my sister and Miah run a half marathon!  13.1 miles!!!

They trained so hard for it and I am proud of both of them!
 Brady and Maddie had Easter parties at school...it was a busy busy week!
Family came to see us!  We had a picnic in the park and Grandma bought us ice cream after...so much fun!

Grandparents spoiled them with all kinds of Easter goodies!
Thank you!!!
Ready, set, go!




I love you all!!!!!

    3. LOL!!! No, he hasn't lost anymore teeth. Julie and Ronald gave them plastic silly teeth and they are pretty funny looking with them in!
