Earth Day 2010

Both boys received a blue spruce seedling from PPL electric co. for their school being rated an Energy Star building.

We planted them yesterday to celebrate Earth day. For now their home in one of my flower beds. .once they get bigger we will transplant them to a better location.

Bathroom Renovation

oh what a process this has been.. . Actually it has all went quite smoothly and even though it seemed to take forever it really didn't. Jason only had weekends to work on it so it seemed to take a bit longer but in reality it only took a month.. not bad considerind he ripped everything out.

Here is what we started with..

mint green tile with a burgandy & pink trim & a pink tub!

Here is what we ended up with...

beautiful Milk chocolate walls with coconut milk wainscotting

a cherry vanity with a delta victorian faucet in venetian bronze

hints of green and we got a brand new bright white tub with

coordinating shower fixtures!

spring soccer

Owen has had 2 soccer games.. This season he is on the U-10 team. Most of the boys who are on the team have been palying together for a couple of seasons.. It makes it hard for Owen to "fit" in and he doesn't get quite as much BALL time. With that being said he is learning some great skills this year. Their team won their first game 3-0! and tied the second 2-2! Owen's team is called the Cocalico Rangers. The are off to a great start. Last fall they didn't win a single game(or tie for that matter)

Learning to pedal

Callie has been trying to learn to pedal a trike for a little bit now but would get super frustrated and throw tantrums when she just couldn't get it. (I wonder where she gets them from) Then she got backwards down pat and was cruisin around the driveway in reverse..LOL! I worked with her for 2 days(not full days) and she finally got it! She is so proud on her trike.. yelling "look at me, I peddling!"

Then it happened.. I was leaving to go get Owen from soccer on Tuesday night & I didn't look behind my van.. C-R-U-N-C-H!!!! Yep, I backed over it. It bent the tires good and proper & the back deck... plus it left a nice red stripe on my bumper. I thought it done more damage to my van than what it did.. so for that I feel lucky. I think we can get some replacement wheels for it and it will be fine. In the mean time she is riding Owen's old dump truck trike...lol

Easter Eggs

Yesterday I boiled our eggs.. I am so proud of myself for thinking ahead on this and doing them yesterday and letting them sit in my frige stinking it up for a day!

Tonight after supper we colored them. The only color Callie wanted to use was.. PINK! Big surprise there..NOT

We colored 2 dozen... 1 for the park egg hunt that I wrote "Jesus ♥'s you" on all them & then a dz. for Peggy's house. That is where Easter is at this year. It is to be a beautiful weekend around 70 on Easter day. It will be great weather for hunting eggs.
