playing hard - sleeping hard

Tietjen has always been my weird sleeper - I always find him - asleep in strange places doing the funniest things... today he was on the couch reading - and I found him as such............

I took one picture than his head fell forward - and his hands kept twitching, it was so cute.

Spring has Sprung - Yardwork has Begun

Friday & Saturday were spent on YARD WORK -

(Tietjen enjoying some Poweraid - watching daddy work)


Friday - Jeff's classes were cancled - they have extra days, so the teacher waited for a good day to cancel (he goes shooting) -

We spent Friday morning at the Temple, than the rest of the day was digging out some roots from our pine tree stump - (sorry no pictures)

Saturday - I, transplanted grass from the backyard to the front - covering up our stump. (Why, you may ask did I just not buy grass seed - because we are poor and why not put forth a little effort)

Than after Jeff was done with work - he cut down some of the Lilac Tree - which is half dead - and sending out shoots all over our lawn - it has taken us 4 years to figure out which tree has been doing this -

Down came some limbs

Than we shared rental of a rotatiller - we changed spots of our garden - the orginal one had to much shade from a neighbors tree - (Jeff already cut a bunch of limbs off their tree, last year)

All in all - we are tired, sore, and Jeff has two blisters, because the batteries on his "saw-zall" ran down so he used our hatched to get two of the three roots out .

Thanks honey for all your hard work!!

work in progress........

I have been working on my kitchen since January.

I painted two coats of primer, to cover up the deep "paprika" red. Two coats of "bone white" and two coats of "Stewart House Brown"

I applied one coat of "bone white" with gloss to the window frames and I am starting to finish the rest of the trim work today.

I went with BLUE as my accent color, because I already had the curtins, they are from the front room.

The backslash area, I will not be painting, because it needs the drywall replaced, we have had some water damage.

In the end, I want a tile backsplash.

I am excited to get it all done and put up some decor.
