Home Sweet Home

Yea! I can not believe how grateful I am to have a front yard! I know..I bragged how wonderful Curtis was supporting me while I stayed at my mom's for a week, putting Grace's hair in curlers and all..I haven't mentioned that when I got home he had bushes planted and had sod ordered! My cute neighbor across the street was outside when we pulled up and came over with tears in her eyes..she knew how hard he and the kids had worked to surprise me! Regi asked Curt if he was making up for something or wanting something. I think he is just trying to keep his spoiled wife happy! Our move to Enterprise has been a huge blessing and I am so thankful for that!

A step up from Legos



I've always thought my Noah was extremely talented with his "hands on" ability..but he has reached new heights! After helping Curt install a sprinkling system in our front yard..he felt it important to create one for his BMX track in the back yard. His own design, own money and own time, he was successful..we did have to make a second trip to the hardware store to replace the faulty sprinkler head! I admire his ability to create! I also admire his ability to stand up for what he wants.. two of his friends went with us on our first supply run and just thought Noah was crazy for spending $20 on pvc pipe, glue, fittings, and sprinkler heads. They were trying to remind him of all the other things his money could buy, he didn't even bat an eye at them! Another friend Josh came over yesterday and was amazed he did it buy himself! My favorite part, if you notice he even buried the pipe.. Way to go Noah!

"Goodies in Spanish"


My little Gabe just says funny things.. Today he was enjoying some strawberries for a snack...."Delicious, Yummy, Delightful" were some of his comments.. He looked at me with a big cheesy grin and said "Goodies in Spanish." I think he will serve a Spanish speaking mission some day he is fascinated with the language! Even if he makes up his own Spanish! Last night was a good one too...getting ready for bed he turned into mister grouchy..(I think he had just played too hard!) He kept saying "I don't feel good" I asked him what was wrong..he replied "My head is on crooked" I wasn't sure what that meant! We went with a headache and gave him some tylenol!
