More work on the yard!

Today John and Ben continued our landscaping project. They went golfing early this morning and then spent the rest of the daylight working in the yard. Today was the day to use the "tiller" as Ben calls it. John taught him how to use it, and the kid was in heaven. He is going to be so bored with the yard when it gets finished- he is loving the process. And it is a process. They have been working so hard out there. Actually, as I am typing this at 9:45 Saturday night, John is still out there with the flood lights on. Our neighbors probably think we're crazy, but I am thankful to have such a hard working and talented husband who is able to do so many things to improve our home, and it is fun to see Ben learning so much from him.

Haircuts from TT

TT is the best at doing hair, so when she is home she gets us all fixed up! She cut Ben & Heidi's hair and cut and colored my hair. THANK YOU so much TT! Heidi's hair looks so much better and I love my new dark, short hair! We really appreciate you doing that for us!

Heidi sat very still for TT and Ben was the photographer since I was rinsing my hair. I think he took about 30+ pictures of Heidi getting her hair cut. There were some interesting angles, but he did get some good shots!

Heidi looks so cute with her new style :)

The Fountains with TT

We were so excited that TT could be here for the weekend! We really miss her and love to spend time with her when she comes home to visit. The kids get so excited to see her and think she's the best. On Sunday when the girls got back from Napa, we all went to the Fountains. The Fountains is a new shopping center in Roseville that has many water fountains- our favorite is the huge one in the middle that plays music and has dancing water. There is also a playground, Big Spoon and Gelato- what more do you need? Here are some pictures from our fun evening.

Napa Trip

Last weekend I went on a ladies weekend to Napa for Aunt Jamey's 50th birthday surprise trip. Leslie, Toni, Kate, Allie and I met my Mom, Grandma, Aunt Emmie, Katelyn, Aunt Jamey and her friends from Southern California in Napa on Saturday morning. We toured three wineries, did some wine tasting and had a nice picnic lunch. We stayed overnight and had fun hanging out together. Kate and Allie did great on their first wine tasting trip, although one tour guide (who was not very nice) wanted to check their IDs because he thought we were a sting operation. Overall it was a very nice weekend celebrating Aunt Jamey's birthday!
