New Editions

Well, we've had several new editions to our house and family this last week. My sister-in-law had her second child, a little boy, Cash Emery. He's cute as a button and much to our suprise Trey can't get enough of him. I think he held him about 4 or 5 times during the 20 minutes visit at the hospital. He told me several days ago that he wants one of those babies like we saw at the hospital. Hmmm...I just smiled.

The other edition to our home was 4 little tiny kittens. They actually just showed up one day and we were totally confused because all our barn cats are "boys"! Anyway, much to our suprise again, Breanne became attached to them instantly. Whenever we are outside she seeks them out and just walks around carrying one at all times. She has even tried to sneek a few in the house.

I just asked Trey what the kitties name is and he said, "Drugger". I have no idea where he pulled that one from.

It's About Time!

Well, as some of you know, our backyard has been nothing but a big dirt pile for MONTHS!! Arlan worked so many hours to get our rock wall finished and it looks georgous!! We finally finished everything last weekend. Planting, seeding and mulching. My back hurts and I've got a few callouses but it was all worth it.

Jon Chappell did the design and the kids, as you can see from above, helped with the physical labor as did Arlan and I.

Below is the pictures of the semi finished look. The rock wall and steps, and some of the flower/plant beds that we landscaped with.

I can't wait for next spring to arrive and see all that hard work bloom into vibrant colors and a cozy backyard!!
