I have missed you guys the past couple of days. I will need to take some time after the kids go to bed tonight to catch up on all the happenings in your lives.
The past two days have been non-stop yard work and house cleaning. Mostly yard work though. Weeding, planting, mulching. Putting together the patio furniture set we bought. Cleaning out the garage and enjoying our new backyard. The kids have been playing with the toys from sun up to sun down! The ramp was a big hit. They haven't gotten up enough nerve to ride down it on their skateboards...they ride their bikes over it. I need to take some pictures and post them later.
We went to church this morning and then got right back to yardwork after we got home.
Tomorrow all of our family is coming over around noon for a cookout/pool party. Cookout over our house...pool party next door at mom's. I'm glad we got everything fixed up before the cookout. Except for the new garage door. I need to price some this week.
We had some news this week about Katy's ex. She found out that he got married a couple of weeks ago...without telling anybody. Including his parents. He had still been coming over Katy's house most days and hanging out. Making plans with her and the kids for the weekend. Then she is browsing around Myspace and see's his ex-girlfriends page (the one who is pregnant with his kid). It has a big post about how she and "the knucklehead" had been married the week before. What? He is just too much!! Katy told the kids and Kristian got real upset. She is only 7 and has been through so much already. Katy and "the knucklehead" have split and got back together many times...moved from one apt to another...from his parents to my parents...then he moved out with the girlfriend...but still hangs out like a family when he feels like it. She is always sad and moody. We pray for her everyday. He leaves tomorrow to head to NC and meet up with a marine troop and then head over to Iraq.
This is what Kai said to Chris yesterday...
Kai...Chris, my daddy is going to Irag to fight for our sins.
Chris...ummmm...I think you mean fight for our country. Jesus died for our sins.
Kai...oh yeah...I get those two mixed up alot!
Too Funny!
Kai is spending the night with us tonight. Him and Ben usually do well together...so there shouldn't be any problems. Nick is spending the night with Chris' parents. Lauren has a friend spending the night after youth service tonight. Then they are heading out tomorrow for a cookout at the youth pastors house. She is just blowing us off for her friends. Lucky! :)
I'll catch up with you all tomorrow.
Have a great memorial day with your families.
Here's some pictures of what we hhave been doing in the yard and the finished concrete. Note the old raggedy b-ball hoop. Chris' new one should arrive this week sometime.

Your yard looks beautiful! I'll bet your family is really enjoying it.
That guy really sounds like a piece of work! I just hope that he put your sister's name one the forms that will give her the death benefits should something happen to him in Iraq. That would at least be something.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day!
