New Toy

Now that it has warmed up here in Texas we finally bought Kallon and Kate their Christmas present from mom, dad, and both grandparents. It's been a few months coming and K and K were so excited when we told them we had ordered it. Kallon asked everyday all day if his present was here yet. On Tuesday evening I received a phone call from the UPS driver to verify our address. When I hung up the phone Kallon and Cory, yes Cory asked, "is it here yet?" haha I think Cory may have been even more excited than Kallon was. I was a little hesitant spending so much money on a toy for the kids but we have only had it five days and I think we have already made good use of the money spent. Here it is, our new toy................


A TRAMPOLINE!!!

Thank You Grandma and Grandpa Green and Grandma and Grandpa Spicer!!

In other news we have been doing a lot of yard work lately and we are planning a garden. I hope this time we can get something to grow. When we bought our house there was a huge pile of slate rock in the backyard. Last fall we moved all this rock onto the patio and made a garden where it had been. The rocks sat on our patio for months and months while we tried to decide what to do with them. A few weeks ago we pulled up a huge ugly bush that was growing in our backyard and it left a large hole. Instead of filling the hole and planting grass we thought it would an excellent idea to build a fire pit. We already had a TON of rock so we gave it a shot. We are so glad we did because we have used it quite a bit already and the kids love it. Its having the best part of camping right in our own backyard with flush-able toilets, shower, and a nice warm bed just a few feet away. That is my kind of camping!!
