Hey ladies!!

Hey girls, it has been forever since I have posted. I have had these pictures sitting on my desktop in a folder named "blog" for a week now. This last week was just plain busy. The weather was super nice, and I worked 4 days in a row (I usually work three at the most), so every day before work I would try and do yardwork or a little house work. Yardwork is WAY more fun than than housework when the weather is super nice, how the heck am I supposed to say no to being out in the sunshine?

That said our yard is really starting to come together. I don't think I really thought about how much work it would be to get a yard looking nice that had been neglected for an entire year, but it is coming along. A huge pile of blackberry vines is waiting to be taken to the dump (that will happen today), the areas around the back yard (like raised boxes of dirt with shrubs and stuff) have been cleared of weeds and some garden and plants have been planted. Overgrown areas of grass and dying rose bushes have been fixed. I will have to take a picture sometime, I know hard to believe I don't have one, and I am kinda irked that I didn't get one as a before picture because our yard was a disaster!

Anyway, this picture is one of a set of collages I do every month. Every month I pick out my favorite pictures of Paul and I and make a collage in the form of an 8x10. Yes I will always have all of our pictures, but scanning through the collages month by month is such an awesome quick summary of what we have been up to with our lives (besides work and sleep).

This last month Amber and I went to the park by the train house, we got kittens!, Paul went to a car show, Gabe and I had a mini picture session, we bought a lawn mower, I cleaned and organized (of course), I babysat Kaliah, and we painted our garage!

Speaking of Kittens they are as crazy as ever. They are still huge snuggle bugs but also think it is fun to run around the house and sound like a horse. They love to hide in corners and attack their fellow sibling who happens to walk by. Its so funny! They also love to snuggle like no other, and it's the best thing ever. :)

I went to Moses Lake this last Monday/Tuesday. I took senior pics of my little bro and celebrated mothers day with the family. We laid in the grass in 70 degree weather, we laid inside on the couches and basking in the sunshine, we bought side tables for our house, and just enjoyed family time.

Here are a few pics of the "little" bro. He just went to prom on Saturday and will go to UW in the fall and I just can't wait to see him make the transition! Paul and I are going to his graduation on June 11th and I so can't wait! The end of hs is such an exciting time. :)

Love love love him. :)

It's super windy outside right now, Paul and I are laying in bed right now, he is on a conference call and I am thinking about when we are getting the truck, going to the dump, and how long it has been since I have blogged. The kittens are stalking us because they haven't gotten fresh water or food or a cleaned litter box this morning. This is the first day off paul and I have had together in um, absolutely forever so apart from taking the blackberry vines and bushes away we are just chillin together, maybe going to Ruston. :)

I am loving life.
