Building a House - Well at last, Breaking Ground!


A second well has been dug and has passed inspection and water quality testing.
Woohoo!!!!!!


Which means we were finally able to break ground on our foundation a couple of weeks ago. Its hard to get too excited because we've had so many set backs. But I'm excited!

Gotta love an excavator.


We're moving forward. Yay!

Camping/Memorial Day


Ok this wasn't camping or Memorial Day but it was a good picture of us making soap with Aunt Amanda. Uncle Chris played constructs with the boys. I love my radioactive soap, which we did take with us camping.


Over Memorial Day weekend we went camping with some friends to the coast. It wasn't very warm but that didn't slow us down.


This was Madilyn's creation, a turtle with crabs shells to make...its shell.


Garrett's creation using crab legs. I gotta say, I find it a little creepy although creative.


Emma's creation...using crab parts.


Annnnd Grant doing whatever it is he does.


The day after Memorial Day I took the kids to visit the my uncle and grand parents grave sites. It was a great opportunity to talk about the temple, genealogy, and forever families. Nice thing is the temple is only 5 minutes from the cemetery where they are buried. 

Grateful for my forever family.
