House Projects

We put down 820 sq feet of sod and two truck loads of graved on the side of the diveway during the last week.

Also, we tilled the entire back yard so we can plant seed this week.


Most of my flowers from last year are coming back and they are beautiful.

And last but not at all least...Darci's bathroom is finished!!

Speedway

Our friends invited us to spend the day with them at the Texas Motor Speedway last Saturday. This NASCAR race is a BIG deal when it's in town. People setup their "camp" a week before the races. Our friends have a spot in the inner circle against the fence, which means the only thing between you and the race is a couple fences and a grassy area. It was one of the best places to be at the races. These spots in the inner circle have a nine year waiting list.

New Hair

Carly and I got our hair cut today. She wanted several inches off the length and something a little different so everyone wouldn't say "you look just like your mom". Well, I got my hair cut this morning and when she saw it she said "I love your cut" and her's is just like it!

Open For Business

I've finally caved in to the peer pressure and started my blog page!!

*Edit*
There are a lot of projects going on down here and one of them is finally finished. The shower in Darci's bathroom is done (phew). However it may still need to have some touch ups. And the fence in the back is repaired. It had fallen during the last storm that was so windy, we're lucky that only one fence section fell. Our back-door neighbor was a HUGE help with everything. {I wish...} but karma will get him when he sees the lovely job done on his side....

Libby went swimming today, although it was only from the waist down. She loves to swim and if she had her way she would everyday despite the temperature. Just before that she did a photo shoot with Darci. She is such a model, she can pose and use props like no other two year old I've ever seen. She is our little angel.

Carly has just finished reading the Titian's Curse and has a new liking for Greek mythology. She is on the lookout for any good reads.

Darci has had a busy week in her music career, what with having an audition for her high schools varsity choir as well as having to learn a song for a state-wide competition. Also she got her braces off on Wednesday which was VERY exciting, seeing as she has had them on since 3rd grade!


I'll try to have the blog updated weekly or as often as necessary.
