Jerid took the kids this Saturday morning so I could sleep… after a night of restless toddlers I needed it. We worked on the yard the rest of the day and made some good progress…. I am getting sooooooooo ready for spring!!!!! I am ready to garden I am ready for green grass… I am ready for warm nights.
Our kitchen is making progress……….slow albeit……..but progress…….
I finally found my Metropolis sign……………teehee
We went to donkey basketball this weekend……….McCall was in his true drooling/teething form……….
Austyn keeps asking why he is spitting ………its pretty funny.
One of me and my love………..my how he melts my heart. Even when I am mad at him he still seems to make me smile 
and the little mister love……
When Jerid took the kids for a drive Saturday morning he took them out by Sand Mountain……..a place where people take their four wheelers and dirt bikes……I guess there was a big climb that he drove up to and Makenna was begging him to go up it. When he finally gave in and said ok Bee…………lets go she said ok dad…………I have two things to say first……..
I love you
and……
sometimes I use your toothbrush.
When he told me the story I nearly died. Here she thought they were going to do something dangerous…….something that may end their lives and that was her parting words….
I love you and sometimes I use your toothbrush…………
gosh I love her…
on that note……she wrote a poem for school this week about where she was from. I am so amazed and so in awe of her talent… she is amazing that girl….

mashed potatoes and gravy.
I am from noodles of every shape and size.
I am from excursions to an
old ford, and a rusty Chevy
my mom learned to drive in.
