Adventures in the backyard [Katie]

Rach has been making a lot of changes around here. Including having a garden in the backyard. She got herself a book that told her the best way to get started, made herself some drawings, and got busy setting her plan in motion. We went to the store bought tons of dirt, wood, and other stuff that I don't remember. Then we headed home to commence construction.

This one was mixed in with the other ones. Jason got a hold of the camera and this is the result. Pretty cool huh? :)

Jason again, but this time with Oreo

Fixing the house [Katie]

The front of the house struggles and since the association (and our neighbors) is crazy, we had 30 days to fix it.

Here's Uncle Doug sawing away!

Jason getting in on the hammer action

The grass was looking a little long, so Shelly and Jason thought to help out by hammering it down.

Grandpa and Uncle Doug working hard!

Time for a break! Shelly shoots, she scores!!!!!

Shelly and Jason with bugs! [Katie]

K, so there isn't a bug, but it is Jason doing a BIG no-no! That's our neighbor's wall....

Here's the bug! A lady-bug to be exact!

Fun times, fun times!!
