Gracie's first pigtails!

These three little people are my whole world, besides their daddy they are what I live for. I just wanted to share this cute picture of them because it is so fun. We done this back in june for Fathers day. Ryan got these shirts for the kids while he was in California for work.
I cannot hardly believe that Devin is going to be in first grade in just a couple of weeks. Isaac is excited to start preschool and Gracie will be happy to have Mommy all to herself for a little while. They say time flies when you are having fun, and it's true.

Elmo's Horse and Buggy Days

Elmo is such a great place to live, each year we have a great celebration with breakfast a parade fun at the park and Dinner plus Good fireworks! They have a bottle rocket contest with decorated 2 liter pop bottles. Devin's was a scorpion and Isaac's was a clown. Grace had a blast playing on the slip and slide what a water baby.

A day full of Sunshine

We spent the last day of Devin's spring break outside... and we are paying for it. We all got sunburned. There was a planned power outage while they worked on the power lines in our area and so we decided to take a bike ride to the park and when we got home the weather was so nice we just worked in the yard. We finally got the vines planted by the back deck now they just need to grow and fill in. I hope it turns out like I want it to. You can see I had so much help. The little shovels grandma gave them for Easter came in really handy.

Easter was wonderful

It all started friday with coloring eggs. We all loved it but Grace got the biggest kick out of dropping the eggs in the dye. Devin was tired but cheered up after a while and Isaac put almost a whole sheet of stickers on one or two eggs. Saturday the kids woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had come and brought them some suprizes. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kelly's to have lunch (we were going to go out on the desert but it was rainy) We just built a fire right there in the back yard and roasted hot dogs. The kids had so much fun. We had another egg hunt and of course Grandma and Grandpa spoiled all of us with new sweatshirts and all more sweets than I can stand. And to top it all off we had a nice Easter Feast Saturday Evening. Jay starts the outage at the power plant Easter Sunday every year and we wanted to include him so We had Mom, Jay, Great Grandma Wilson and Murray over for Honey glazed Spiral ham and Yummy potatoes. I am kicking myself for not taking pictures, but we did have a nice time.

Our Garden is Growing

This is not a very good picture but you get the idea...

This year I really wanted to be on the ball and grow a great garden. Last year was okay but We got a very late start and our soil is not that great. My Dad brought us a load of compost, thank you thank you. We used Kent's tiller and got the ground ready. Our peas have not sprouted yet maybe we jumped the gun but if they don't come up in another week we can replant. I am excited to see how well the plants I started in the basement are doing. I just took some little disposable cups like the dixie bathroom cups (but I used the walmart brand since they are made of a plastice material and wont soak through like the wax paper ones) then I labeled each one and filled it with potting soil and planted them about a month ago on a pet heating pad I had laying around just because our basement is kinda cold. I water them about every five or so days and they are doing so well I hope it warms up for good so I can get them planted outside.

Dog Sitting

Last weekend we baby sat my Mom and Jay's dogs while they went to NV to see my brother and his family and Jay's daughter and her kids. It is kinda sad to see pets get old they are both deaf so you have to yell at them to get them to hear you. I think Grace enjoyed them the most.
