What we've been up to...

I don't have any updates on the veggie garden yet. Even though it was around 80 degrees the last couple of days, I still haven't done any planting. We are waiting till the threat of any end of season frost has passed...this is Idaho after all!

Chase's last basketball game is this afternoon. Go Sawtooth Middle School! A few of his teammates

His biggest fans...

Go Sabercats!

Great Grandma Louise was able to catch two games while she was here visiting

Tanner's Pinewood Derby is tonight as well. Wish him luck...he is so excited.

Here are some photos of the work done on his car last weekend.

Hanging out with some buddies...

These kids are closer in age than it may appear.

Can you guess which kids have the tall parents?!?!

Cleaning Gracie's hamster cageTanner 'babysat' Gracie while Chase cleaned...just trying to be a good "uncle"

And I got to play a little Bunco with my Dice Girls last Saturday night...

Earth Week

This is Earth Week. So we decided to be a little greener and to plant a vegetable garden in our yard. So, off to Lowe's we went.

Stringing off the measured area.... Removing the sod...

Leveling the dirt...

Sawing the redwood boards. We bought three 6x8' boards and cut one in half to build a 4x8' raised garden area.

Screwing the sides together...

Placing the stakes 3 -4' apart for support...

And finally...filling with dirt. We still need another 6 - 8 bags of topsoil and to purchase our veggie plants. But, I am so excited that we got the planter built. I will keep you posted on our gardens progress.

Happy Earth Week!

What are your plans to live a little "greener"?
