Fun Videos

Everybody always seems to like the videos, so here are a few of A showing off for the camera. Remember you may wanna scroll down and pause the music so you can hear the sound in the videos.

20 Month Update

I cannot believe how fast time is flying! A will be 2 in 4 months, OH MY! She is doing super good. Unfortunately not very many new things to report this month. A is still a very happy, lovable, cuddle-able, wild child. She loves to play outside, sing, dance, read, swing in her swing and color. Her baby gibberish is day by day turning in to real words. Right now she seems to really like the movie "Lion King". Hakuna Matta is her favorite song, she sings it all day long. A is becoming more and more like her daddy as she gets older, let me tell you about the temper tantrums she throws. She gets so mad, she throws her self down, or will throw anything in her way, so watch out. I am trying to nip it in the bud because I don't think I can wait till shes 30 to grow out of it like D did. =) She has also started to take an interest in taking things part. One of her toys stopped working and I found her in her playroom with a screw driver trying to take it a part to fix it. I have no idea where she learned that, neither of us have taken anything apart with a screw driver in front of her. She has also recently stopped sitting in her high chair and started in a booster seat at the dinner table. She loves it, she feels like such a big girl. Well, I think that is about it for now. Hope you enjoy A's 20 Month Pictures.

Landscaping Update

We are finally making progress on our back yard so I thought I would give you an update on it and show you some pictures. D (and A) have been hard at work in the back yard the last few weeks. D is trying really hard to have it completed by Thanksgiving, and it looks like he may actually do it. Unfortunately I do not have any "before" pictures because it was so hideous, I never wanted to take any pictures of it. =) A just loves to be outside, so this will be great when it is finished, as you see she loves to help her daddy in the yard.

D built two block retaining walls, that will eventually be stuccoed and caps put on the tops of them. and together the two walls make a planter area. We plan on putting rocks and plants inside of it, and he has already installed lights in all the walls. We have flattened out the top part as well, A's new play house sits up there, and we'd like to get a swing set and put the trampoline back up. Down below will be all grass, we actually have sod coming Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Along the edges of the house we will have concrete curbing with rocks up to the house to help keep the dirt off the house and plants along it. Well, here are some "work in Progress" pictures, and if you ever saw it before it is like a night and day difference. We will post some pictures as soon as it is all done in a week or two.
