Out Our Back Door

What started as just a hole in the snow covered ground with barren trees in March,

and turned into the first story within a few weeks,

followed shortly by the second story, 

and topped with shingles and a fresh layer of snow on May Day,

is our new home!

We can't wait to enjoy this great backyard!  More details to come.

Another Year Gone By...

Well, it hasn't been a year since my last post, although seven months have passed!  Three handsome young men have turned another year older in our house and with each year, our schedule gets just a little bit more hectic full.  

Way back in January, Connor William turned 9!  Not sure why my children tend to be shirtless in a lot of pictures, but I'm thinking we were having cake after supper and baths!

Connor and his buddies from school and wrestling enjoyed an afternoon of bowling to celebrate in style.

Owen turned 6 in April and picked out a yummy Scratch cupcake for his treat.  This little guy keeps us on our toes with his sense of humor and nonstop talking!

Owen and his buddies celebrated at the inflatable park and mastered getting 5 kids on one tire swing!  I'm pretty sure that was probably against the rules.

Finally, Mason turned 12 at the end of April!  Baseball was already in full swing by this time, so we haven't had time for a friend party yet.  However, Mason has big plans for the lake with a few friends!
