Latest Project

Ok so we have a pretty big back yard that the kids love having fires in during the summer. We have gone through our fair share of fire pits you know the ones made of iron or something like that, ones that you buy from like a sporting goods store or walmart. it seemed they kept falling apart. so today we came up with this idea and believe it or not it was even a little cheaper and probably safer. so here it is getting ready to be used for the first time.
And here it is with the fire going strong. So on any given night during the warm months you will find us outside hanging out and usually cooking smores.

Around the House

Kenzie stacking cups on the air hockey table. Nick is having a contest at school with these cup stackers which were really big here last year, so we had gotten them and the boys stopped using them, but i am glad i held onto them cause they are doing it alot now, and Kenzie doesnt want to be left out.
Kenzie enjoying her "tea" set, she was giving it to Michele and having a blast.




What you may not be able to see is that at the far left of the fence, a panel has actually fallen down and what you see is our wood pile that was behind it in the back yard. This poor fence has had a rough year but it is still standing.



Baby squirrels that TJ rescued. They were in a flower bed (not yet blooming here) against our house. He moved them on the outside of the fence into the woods next door. There were 3 to begin with and we have since seen 2 roaming around the trees so nice job TJ.
