Our new yard is becoming littered with weeds! I think that they put the grass down on top of the weeds and they just come up. It doesn't help either that all around us are empty lots full of weeds. For FHE, we decided that we needed to do some weed pulling. Then we all came in for brownies. We still have weeds. The boys are working on them early in the morning. We need to spray. That will also help. If you look the the background, we have an amazing view from our house. It is really pretty.


We have MOVED!!!


After 10 1/2 years in our house, we decided that it was time to move. We loved that house and it served us well for a long time. Daniel was 2 and Nathan was 18 months old when we moved there. It has a nice yard and we had a big garden that produced more than we could eat. It was good for us. But Now we moved HERE....




This is our new house. Much bigger than the last one. Actually, one floor of this house is bigger than our last house, so we over doubled our last house size. I was a little worried about our electric bill, but this house is so well built that it was only $10 more than I paid last year in our small house. Not to bad. It sits on over a 1/4 of an acre of land. Richard is looking forward to his garden next year. Me too! There is nothing like fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, zucchini and catalope (just to name a few) right out of the garden. I am looking forward to decorating it and unpacking and organizing it. It will always be a work in progress. We are loving it here and our new ward. The school for Daniel and Nathan is just a few blocks away. They can't wait to ride their bikes to school.

Qualan's Baptism



























On July 3, 2010 Qualan Thomas was Baptized! He was so excited. It was a wonderful day for him. For his birthday he wants green scriptures. The church is out of that color so he has opted to wait for them to come. I am so proud of him. What a great boy he is. Daniel took these pictures. He did a great job!
