I have lost my camera...hence the long break from posting...so I made my camera phone more useful until I can find it!
Things we've been up to...
1. Put up our fence...with the help of our wonderful friends! THANKS SO MUCH to those who chipped in equipment and your valuable time...we really appreciate it!!! I LOVE it!
2. Put our shed together. We bought a kit where all the pieces came pre-cut and we had to put it together. I really enjoyed this project...Steve and I had fun building it! We still have to put the shingles on...
3. Another craft.... My friend Melinda organizes a craft each month and this was our most recent. She bought the blocks from The Wood Connection and then we painted and decorated them.
4. School... Steve finished his EMT Basic course this semester and has been in Riverton at the Fire Academy last week and this week for Hasmat training. He took his test and got a 100%! Way to go Stevo...they have been doing Chemistry so he has had to really focus and go way back in his memory bank :) I am taking classes to finish my Adapted PE Endorsement. I have 3 classes left so I am taking one this summer and 2 in the fall.
5. New door mat and Potted Flowers! I bought this great pot and got some flowers in it finally! The rule of thumb around here is to wait to plant flowers around Memorial Day. My friend Jen and I did it yesterday... it was just so warm and I just couldn't wait...so I am a little early and hope they are alright and there is warm weather! (I don't have pics of Jen's, but she has very beautiful flowers in pots on her porch and on her back patio!!) We had fun potting the flowers...thanks Jen!
6. School is almost out and I can't wait for SUMMER!!!
Next things on our list to get done...
-finishing touches on the fence
-put shingles on the shed
-get more dirt to level out our back yard
-sprinklers and grass! I can't wait!! This has all got put off for 2 weeks since Steve has been gone to class, but we'll pick right back up on the yard work once he gets back. I enjoy yard work and being outside so I love when it gets to be this time of year (when it's nice outside and not a blizzard that is) :) !!!

The fence and shed look great, even without shingles. The lawn looks a lot like most lawns in the Rocket Springs area...heck, as is, you may win the green thumb award for Sweetwater County...(that was sarcastic...because you live in a desert...). Miss your blog updates, hope you get a new camera soon.
You guys have been busy! I was also going to tell you we have been reading these great fairy tales written by Ruth Sanderson. :o) The girls love them and I laughed when I saw the author.

I'm glad you got some pictures up of your fence, shed and flowers.
They look great.
Nice Work! Sounds like you are keeping yourselves busy. since you love lawn work so much you can come do ours. j/k
I can't wait to see your finished backyard. How exciting! I was wondering where all your posts were. :)
The fence looks great! You have been so busy this spring, I'll over look the lack of posts. Of course, I really can't speak since I'm slacking myself...
