I Love to Look for Rainbows

Well it rained yesterday and we had a beautiful double rainbow right over our house.  I love rainbows and like to think its a sign from my mom that she loves me.  The kids and I just sat and watched it for a long long time.  What a beautiful world we live in and I hope I can not be to caught up in life to not stop and enjoy the things that really matter.  Thanks for the reminder mom!

Monday Matters (Week 2)

I have broken Monday Matters up into two areas one for the family and then one as a personal goal for me to work on. Well today since we just planted 7 trees outside in the yard. (Book recommended to plant a tree). I decided our Monday matters is to attack our play room and pass on the toy that were broken to the trash and those we out grew or no longer played with to the DI so other kids could enjoy them. Our play room looks great and you can actually play in there now. YEA!
The Floor!

The Closet!

For my personal goal I am going to work on patience. It seemed I was short with Jim and the kids all weekend so today I am going to try and be better!

Landscaping Finally!!!!!!!!

We (Jim and Shawn) have been working so hard to get our landscaping done. We are so close. The sprinkling system, curbing, and hydroseed is in. I can't wait to get some trees and shrubs planted and hopefully by next month we will have some lawn for the kids to play on. The boys are wanting a swingset and hoping to get one for their birthday. Thank You Shawn for all your help. It looks great and we could not have done it without you.

One He_ _ of a wind storm!

So yesterday I had just picked up Easton from school and we were on our way home. The wind was blowing like crazy. Out to the west there was a hugh dirt devil. All the sudden Easton says "Mom" I answered "what" (it kinda scared me). "That's one he_ _ of a wind storm he says." I was shocked. Not sure if I heard him right I asked "What did you say?" Again Easton repeated "Thats one he_ _ of a wind storm." I explained to Easton that was a naughty word and we don't say that. He had no idea and felt bad. I told him it was ok and becauce he didn't know I would not get mad at him. But now that he knows I don't want him to say it again. Jim and I had a good laugh that night as I was telling him what had happened. Never a dull moment with Easton thats for sure!
