Yard Work!!

I know the thought of sprinklers is great right? But when you tell someone you are putting them in they say, "ooohhhh", the "been there done that" expression! Well needless to say we are right in the middle of a yard makeover!! We are going to be killing everything in our backyard, and putting hydroseed down.....that is after we get the sprinkers in. I obviously would like to be done with this, but the weather hasn't exactly been cooperating lately. NO MORE SNOW PLEASE!!!

The Water Main Hole!!

Right in the middle of our front yard, pretty.

Spring Semester is pretty much over for me. I have another vocal jury on Friday, the 18th. Summer Semester starts on the 30th; but from here on out the rest of my classes will be easy!

Other great news, my Grandpa Keiser turned 100 years old on April 10th!! What an awesome man!! He has always said he wanted to live to be 100, and now that he is, he is asking what he should do now!

My Cute Grandpa Keiser

Also.......with our new 3 year old, comes the expected POTTY TRAINING!! Fear may grip your mind and heart..............but we have had success! Ali is doing very well, and is so excited to tell everyone she goes pee-pee in the toilet! Love that girl.

Yeah for Ali!

Adam is crawling!

Scouts & Birthdays

Last Friday Joseph recieved a really neat scouting award. He recieved the District Award of Merit. It is the highest award that a District in scouting can give. It was pretty cool. He had no idea he was getting it until that night. He did say that when when my parents showed up he started to get an idea since there would be no reason for them to be there if he wasn't getting anything. But it was really neat, we had his sisters stay in the hall with the kids until they were announcing his award. They snuck in and screamed like crazy for him. He enjoyed it I think. He got the award with another lady from our ward who has also done a lot to help the boys. And yes, for some reason he has a beard again. The very next day Joseph helped with scouting for food where our local district filled two full semi trucks with food.

Additionally we had another birthday in the family. Ali is now 3 years old. coming up to her birthday, Joseph and I would ask what she wanted and all she would say was PINK. So for her birthday she got PINK. Everything was pink. Thanks to the neighbor, Ali had a completely pink birthday with pink cake, pink ice cream, pink plates, pink mac and cheese, pink juice etc. It was really quite cute.
