Here We Go....

With Spring here, Mom, Dad and I have started working on the landscaping part of the house. The facade of the house and the deck are going to get done once my dad comes back from his Spring trip to Europe which he leaves for in a few days and come back after a few weeks.

Back to the landscaping....

We started with pulling out these railroad ties hold up a dilapidated retaining wall. Thanks to the Bobcat and my dads mad skills in it, it was done in no time! Demo is always fun!

Yeah I got in the Bobcat too, but dad is definitely the Bobcat Master! :)


Thanks to the quarry up above my parents house we are going to have a beautiful red granite wall! And yes, the house will hopefully soon be a different color too!

When I got home from work today, Mom and Dad had already started setting the foundation rocks of the wall. I hopped into my work clothes when I got home and we continued where they'd left off.
Stella thought it would be really funny to take a picture of my butt sticking out while I was holding up a rock. I guess here's my shout out to Carhartts! ;)
Sending out much Spring time love!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

Ski Team!

A few weeks ago Stella started training with the Eldora Ski Team every Saturday. Now Saturday's can't come soon enough. I get up at 6 and get Stella up at 6:30 and we are out the door by 7. Usually we get up to Eldora around 8:30 after making a stop to get mama coffee and Stella and donut or two! :) By 9am Stella is ripping up the slopes with her coach (Dave) and 5 other little girls her age. She is having such a blast it's hard to believe we didn't do this sooner. I never noticed these signs before and thought it was pretty cool the ski area was showing some love to the local ski programs. Stella proceed to then inform me that they've been there for quite some time. Oops! :) Stella and two of her little ski buddies! Stella ripping up the GS course! At the end of the day which is usually at 3 all the kids have to help tear down the course. Stella is doing such an awesome job that it makes me one proud mama. Much Love!!!
