When we bought our house we were so excited to be home owners and to be able to work on it to make it our home. Well, our front patio has always been a sore eye and it is mainly my fault. I mean look at these rose bushes! Unpruned and dead! So I don't exactly have a green thumb, but luckily I'm married to someone who cares enough about our little front patio to make the effort to make it a little bit nicer to look at.
So this is what we did today. This darn little piece of dirt in front of our window has been so ugly for 4 years now. Maybe if we had more visitors, or used the front door more often it would have been more urgent, but Kris had finally had enough of the dirt. I always have just put it off because it is so expensive to plant, and we can all see how well I am at keeping flowers alive, but i do have to say it looks so much better and the $100.00 we spent will motivate me to keep these flowers alive. I love the Hydrangeas! They are suppose to get big! pretty huh!

Kris took Kannon to his first motocross race. If you know Kannon you know his OBSESSION with motorcycles. Kris could not wait to see Kannon in pure heaven and I think Kris got the reaction he had hoped out of him. They had so much fun with just the boys.


Lacey had her 6th birthday on May 19th! She is getting so big and maturing so much. Tonight when she was praying she asked for "Kannon to grow bigger and to learn how to talk better, that Mia will prepare herself while she is little to learn more, that Dad can be safe at work and learn everyday more about how to be a good policeman, and that mom can.... teach us more of what we need to learn." I thought it was cute because I guess I already know everything I need to learn. It really made me think for a minute that Lacey thinks it's important for her mom to teach the things she is suppose to learn and what a huge responsibility that is! I'm not going to take that lightly and I'm going to work harder at that.


Mia turned 4 April 26th! She had a great birthday filled with miniature golfing at Mountasia, dinner and ice cream at Mc Donalds, and a bounce house at Grandma and Grandpa Vandys! We had a lot of fun and I was so excited to do something fun for our cute Mia. I hope she never gets the middle child syndrome. She is so special to us, and we just love her to pieces!

Mia had her last ballet recital with Amber before they moved to Idaho. She did soo well and is so cute in her costume! Thanks Amber for the many years of dance classes!

The Girls in their Easter Dresses! Kannon was asleep and woke up angry! he wasn't to happy about pictures.
