A Crazy Idea!

Scott LOVES berries and he has bought so many different kinds of berries to try to grow in our little yard. While he was berry hunting he started looking at the fruit trees and trying to figure out where he could plant some. After some conversations at work he changed his mind with having to deal with cross pollination and so much fruit mess in the yard. He then got a CRAZY idea and decided he could plant an orchard in the lot behind our house. The back of our house is a church with a parking lot. Along with that property is a big plot of weeds. Scott decided he could plant his trees there. More than one person has tried to talk him out of this idea. I have washed my hands of it and hope that we don't get in trouble somehow. He has been researching, plotting and planning. He already dug up some holes and is waiting until tomorrow to plant them! I can't even think about it. Ha. We will see what happens...

Ryan had a preschool picnic on Friday. The weather was actually good. It has been raining SO much lately. There was a rock with a park dedication on it and Ryan said, "when we die do they put us in a rock that says dead?" Ha! 

Later that night we went to our friends housewarming party. Their new house is great! We ended the night with some karaoke. 

Gabby drama face!

Getting trees

We had to drive with me hiolding the door open so as to not smash the tree branches. It was a long cold terrifiying ride! 

He had Corbin do the same thing!

Scott did some serious tree trimming today. To quote Piper: "Dad's going to die!"

Dance Recital

Same old same old last week. The girls had their final dance recital yesterday. Jeff and Janet came up for the weekend. They got here Friday night and the kids opened some gifts and did some projects with them that night. On Saturday we went to Delsa's for lunch and headed over to the dance recital. The girls did a great job! Piper wants to take an easier class and Gabby wants to try out for the competitive team so they won't be in the same class next year. I'm sad about that on a convenience stand point as well as enjoying watching them dance together. Level 2 has been intense for Piper and she hasn't enjoyed it. I'm hoping that she will enjoy dance better next year and if not she can quit. She does a great job though. I'm super proud of her for keeping up with the older girls. 

Later that evening we went to the white water park downtown. It was a really nice evening and it was fun to get out and walk around. We had breakfast at Elmer's this morning on Jeff and Janet's way out. It was hoppin'! 

Nothing major happening this coming week. The last week of school should be a little crazy town. I can't believe school is almost out!

Mother's Day

The main thing from last week was my battle with the bunny. She tried to claim my couch as hers by marking her territory more than once! This cannot stand! I live on that couch. I'm typing my blog post from that very couch right now. I cleaned off the cushions and then I've been kicking her off every time she gets on the couch. I think she's getting it. She hasn't peed on it again all week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she can adapt to this boundary. I just cannot handle that! I'm hopeful that she and I can live at peace together. Ha. The pollen is out of control right now and I really probably should be sitting outside but I love sitting in my backyard so much.

I went into Scott's work so we could apply for a home equity loan so we can get our shed. We won't know for a month if we got approved or not. Meanwhile Scott has been looking at different shed options and creating some spread sheets. 

For Mother's Day Scott rented a stump grinder and got rid of some stumps that have been bothering me for years. We can finally plant some new things there. Yay! We went looking today but I couldn't decide on anything yet. For now I'm just glad to know that I can plant when I'm ready. He also made me his yummy hash browns for breakfast and will be making me his stir fry for dinner. Yum! The teachers are always sure to have their students make Mother's Day gifts so I always get hooked up there. 

I've been TIRED. It's much harder to got to bed early with the time change. I may switch up my schedule and work less this summer. We will see. In the past I have worked later in the summer for that very reason. Well that's about all.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there.

NOPE!

Scott's B-Day

Mostly the same old things happened last week. Ryan and I joined Piper's class for a bit on their class field trip. On Friday I drove to Arco and back to attend a funeral. Miken Jardine died of a rare cancer. He was in my sister's class and he was the brother of one my close high school friends. He also married a classmate of mine that I grew up with. He had 5 young daughters. It is sooo sad. You really can't take anyone for granted. Life is too short.

It was Scott's b-day on Saturday. We went out to Red Robin as a family for lunch. Later that night we joined a bunch of our friends for a Cinco De Mayo party/Scott b-day celebration. We had a fun night with all of our friends. 

The month  of May is always a crazy month. It seems like a mad dash to the end of the school year.
