Weekend 5/14-5/15

This weekend has been a fun filled and busy!! Friday I had to take Jarod to Urgent Care and found out he has an infection in his lungs. So he is antibiotics for a week. And his cough sounds horrible but his fever is now gone and he is acting much better. Saturday was a workday at the church and our main project was landscaping a section of land next to the church. We borrowed my dad's rotateller to break up the ground and put down landscaping timbers and landscaping fabric. My friend Rachelle and I were sent to Plants-A-Plenty to pick up bushes, flowers, and ground covering. I never knew picking out so much landscaping greenery could be so tiring!!! But Fun!!! Afterwards I cleaned the church and Kris did some weed eating. When we got home Kris and I worked in the garden building an archway of sort for my cucumber plants to grow up (climb). Last year the cucumbers grew up the fence and almost pulled the fence down. So we built this contraption out of old gazebo corner posts.

We also tilled up a couple extra rows in the garden for some more planting room. And put down some weed preventer. Sunday morning we went to church and afterwards we had a fellowship meal. We have some of the best conversations at these fellowship meals. I love it so much!! We decided on the way home to swing by Walmart and pick up some stuff to make a flower bed next to the deck in the back yard. Kris has planted three Rose of Sharon bushes planted and we needed something to fill in the rest of the space in between them. And of course something to keep the animals from trodding on them. here is the finished project and some pics of the pretty flowers we picked out.




Well this took up most of the evening...So now it's time for some supper, shower and bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend. God Bless!!

Jarod's Progress

Well today May 11 was Jarod's last day of school. He has grown up so much and I am so proud of his small yet big accomplishments. He has gone from a shy and queit man when he first started school, to a very independent, talkative and sometimes too smart young man. But I love him so much. Thinking back on the school year that has gone by, my eyes tear to see everything he has done. Here is a pic of his first day of school.

And here is his last day of school picture.
Since his first day of school, he has grown 1 inch, gained 4 pounds and has increased his word vocabulary enormously. Just ask him about his day and be ready to talk all day about everything under the sky.
Congrats to my oldest little boy on successfully finishing your first year of preschool.
