weekend fun

It seems that we rarely have a quiet weekend around here, but 2 weeks ago, we did. It was so nice. . . I wish we had more of them! We spent a lot of time outside teaching Ethan how to play golf and working in the yard. Ethan LOVES to help his daddy mow the lawn and help fix the fence.

Oh yes, here is an update on our house for mid-May:

:: our oven broke - still waiting on a part or a new oven. . . I am praying for the new oven.

:: The kitchen and Ethan's room are painted. This weekend we hope to get some of the front room painted. It is so nice to see our house taking shape.

Bye, for now.

April Showers

Spring had definitely sprung here. But, unlike most springs. . . the rain keeps coming. I'm not complaining. . . it makes our allergies so much better, cleans out the air, and we really need the rain (the farmers aren't the biggest fan. . . because of the crops, but we DO need it!). We are at the end of one system and it's supposed to rain more next week. Ethan may be going stir crazy, but Jon was able to take him out in the back to play tonight while I was at MOPS. I am sure he was overjoyed because he keeps bringing me his shoes and trying to open the sliding door!

I thought I would post some pictures from the storm that hit us early last week. It was AMAZING!!!! We had thunder, lightning, and about 5 minutes of hail (it doesn't happen often, so we get excited!)

This is the aftermath. . . the sun is shining and raining! It was beautiful!!!!

Another aftermath picture. My garden was flooded with hail pieces still lingering behind.

Look at this rain!!!! I love this picture!

It's raining. . . It's pouring. . . oooh, is that hail?

The closest we will get to snow. It was so awesome! Ethan even held some in his hand as we watched it rain. We can't wait until the next storm!
