Weekend Project

So Ty and I had a grand idea a few weeks ago to rip out all the trees and the railroad ties on the side of our house since most of the railroad ties were getting rotten and the trees scratch the side of your car all the time. I have also hit some of the railroad ties so they were all coming out of the ground and crooked. So since we had the trailer and some time this weekend away we went. Ty cut all the trees down and in the mist of that the chain came off the chainsaw all tangled so he went to the hardware store for a new chain. Then on Monday morning he went out to Lowes and got the new landscape ties to replace the old ones. I will have to level it a bit and will be using some plants to fill in and then bark on top. It looks about 100 times better than before.

SuperModel Alayna

While we were at TJ's birthday party of course Alayna found some shoes of Aunt Kallies to wear and walk all around in them along with the new sunglasses from Aunt Alescia. I just had to get this picture.

Zoo Field Trip with Trenton's School

I volunteered to go to the Zoo with Trenton's class. It was fun and a very nice day. These are the boys that were in my group. We had a lady talk to the class about the different animal classes and then show some animals that they could touch. Then we all ate lunch and then had about an hour in the zoo. It was a fast trip through the zoo.

A big Surprise for me

These were sent to me at work on Monday for My Birthday from Ty. I also go a new bike for Mothers Day and my Birthday so we have been out riding around.

Cooking for Mom

Alescia and I cooked dinner for the Mothers day dinner. It was a really good dinner and we did it all. Mom kept trying to help and we had to tell her to sit down. We had steak,chicken and shrimp kabobs. Potatoes on the grill and veggies sauted on the stove. Then for desert we had Cake from Arnies that was really good

Mothers Day 2008

Alayna made this heart shaped box for me for mothers day. She is so proud of this. Trenton brought me home a rose and a letter that he wrote about how I let him vacuum and take him to the park.

Baby Nicholas

Trenton and Alayna seeing Nicholas. This is Scott and Ambers new baby. They came over for Trenton's birthday.

The Whitcaps Game

On May 2nd, Ty and I took Trenton and 2 boys to the whitcaps game for Trentons birthday. I thought this would be a great idea. They were all pretty good just a little wild and they were bottomless pits they wanted pizza, popcorn and then cotton candy. It was a fun time and a good experience. Ty and I felt a little old at this point. This was the first time that we really took Trenton out with his friends. He is growing up so fast.

Trenton's Ball Games

Trenton's first game was on April 30th and they have games every Monday Wednesday and Friday. I never thought at age 6 you would be running to all these nights of ball games and they all start at 6:00 so it is a run by the time I get out of work and pick them up at daycare and grab a bite to eat and go. He has been doing very well. They combined Pitching maching and tee ball this year. At his game this past wednesday he had an awesome game. He hit about 3 times from the pitching machine and good hits also. Maybe the practice with Larry at Jenn's open house helped and Ty took him to the school and practiced with him. He also played 2nd base and was making good plays and getting kids out. He has improved so much and we are so proud of him. Of course this past wednesday we didn't have the video camera or the regular camera with us and it was just Ty and I watching him.
