life!

 this little moppet climbed into bed with me the other morning, hair tousled, eyes 1/2 closed all for a morning snuggle.  a great way to start the day....joey slept until 8:50!  awesome! a

chris is on his second week of vacation.  i went out mon and tues with the girls to help.  i decided to stay home today bec i wanted to get some things done that ive neglected...like get groceries and make a meal! ha  clean the house and run more laundry....

nates been out there everyday this week from 9-9.  working with his dad. i miss the little stinker but im glad he's making memories

taking the girls is challenging....they play...and get in the way and come home COVERED in dirt!  but they had so much fun. yesterday they were playing in the dirt pit.  i ended up tossing joey's clothes out, they were ruined.

 so much fun!  daddy is super patient with them...i do keep the girls away when the big tools are out

 family back hoe drive

 us!

 mondays progress. yesterday the last wall went up, doors and windows put in. and today is working on the ceiling
the door to the left where joey is coming out is the wood shed. the storage area is where chris is

 working away...and yes, its noticeable.  chris has lost over 20 POUNDS since working at the land!
