April Video and Pictures!



Brynn and Adrienne:
Watching iPad on a Saturday morning.

Smile for the picture, girls!

Cookies and Canvases event at school

Showing off their hand jewelry the our neighbors brought them from India!

Brynn:
Drew this "I love Cats" tattoo on her leg

A&B did an after school program called "Fit Kids" recently.  They would do workouts, learn about nutrition, and try new foods!  Brynn was really getting into their final performance.

Shae's birthday party at a local bakery!

Full group shot

Sunday snuggles



Adrienne:
"Mom, I don't like this yogurt anymore!"  This is the same yogurt she's been eating for years ;)

Watching the magician at "Fun Fair"


Adrienne showing off her Fit Kids moves!


I told her she couldn't have a second pack of fruit snacks this day.

Butters really just wanted the Cheetos

Adrienne's first field trip!  They went to the movies and saw The Jungle Book!  These are all six girls from her kindergarten class.


House Updates:  Here's our backyard progress so far this year!  Got the patio poured and are starting to work on our deck!
Used a hose to outline where we wanted the patio.  We rolled the grill out there to get an idea for size.

Started work at 8am!

Framing

Someone was watching the workers all morning! 

Gravel base

Day 1 Complete

Making sure they are doing a good job

I, too, was spying all morning

Starting the finishing details

Cleaning up

All finished!

Adrienne was checking things out after school

Fire pit view

Starting the deck!  Had to dig 8 holes 36" deep.

Prepping to mix and pour the concrete.  Had to make sure all of our concrete forms were level.


It took two days, but we got all of the footers finished!

Also, painted the exterior of our window well and added some flowers to the planter.  Still need landscaping stone.

Here's where we are now!  This past weekend we filled in the dirt around the footers and started construction!  Fingers crossed for good weekend weather coming up soon :)

Here's our Trex choices:  Lighter color will be the main color and we'll use the darker color as an accent.


Butters:
Play time every night!

He usually waits at the window when I pick the girls up from school.

Being lazy

Watching us work in the back yard

Found him on Brynn's bed like this.  She said she covered him up like that earlier that morning.

Does not care that I vacuum!

He always takes magnets of our board in the office.  Found a couple magnets in the coat closet!


Other:

Ben was "testing" a lot of old games before selling them on eBay.  He was so happy :)

Celebrating Christine's birthday!

Ben patiently waiting in Justice.
