The yard is looking great!

Mike spends alot of time on the yard and it shows - he does a great job and enjoys this time of the year - garden it coming in nicely! :)

He also drives much straighter than I do - I can't go in a straight line for nothing and he makes it look SOOOOO easy - just not fair.

He can even drive straight with one hand :) - the trees are also trimmed up in the background - he cut 5 more out of the back there this spring already and we are thinking of cutting out a few more.

Jamie finally got a picture of that baltimore oriole - there is a family hanging around and feeding regularly - we change that orange about every 3 days! They are beautiful and fun to watch!

It is Official!!!!

Jamie's last day of school today and she has been measuring herself with me all year long - well the final day of school and yes she made it - she is as tall if not a bit taller then her mother - it's a great day for Jamie and I quess I will be the short one from now on!!! (not the skinny one just the short one)

Spring is in full bloom!

Our feeder is busy with all the finches and we have an orange out also and have a family of baltimore orioles feeding on it - Jamie is trying hard to get a picture but they spook quite easily - we will keep trying!

These are all pictures from Jamie's camera for some reason I can't find mine this morning - she takes many pictures and really has gotten alot of use out of her camera and takes great pictures.

Jamie and Josie at the overnight campout with the GEMS - it ended up being inside the GEMS building since it was raining but they had a great time anyway.

Here are all the 7th graders that went and they put the tent up anyway inside and had a great time!! She took a nap the next day - don't think they got much sleep that night!! Fun times!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope you have a very blessed Mother's Day Mom - we are thinking about you daily and Jamie would love to play some golf with you again - you might have to write is in her schedule since it's quite full right now - she hasn't been home before 8:30-9pm at all yet this week - but she is young and loving it!

Mike plans on planting the gardens tomorrow night which we are excited about - Marcus is working everyday after school and I hope to finish trimming Dave and Amanda's house today and do bookwork tomorrow and go shopping with some friends on Friday (YEAH) - we are going to Sioux City - wanted to do this all year before the kids get home from school for the summer - this is one of our last chances and we are taking it!
