Dex

This boy is just cute.  He got an easter basket with pez and all he did was eat candy for hours!

New Grass

 So I got this great idea that we should work on the yard this week.  We've been wanting to do some changed and I thought Monday would be a great day to start.  I also thought that we would be finished on Monday as well... silly girl.  We've worked almost exclusively on the garden for the last three days in a row!  It has been so much work but here are the before and afters.

 These are going to be some awesome box gardens and they are super nice because they are 20 inches high so I won't kill my back this year as I try to garden!

As you notice before this was just a nasty garden area just covered in weeds.  We moved all the soil from here and put it in the new box gardens.  I feel like one sore muscle today but it was totally worth it because it is going to look so nice once it grows in.  The best part about it is Rich seeded the last spot last night and it started to rain!  Perfect timing.
On another note Finley had her 4 month appointment!  She is 25 inches and 14 pounds and doing just great.  The Dr. said she is unusually alert and engaging with people = social butterfly.  We started her on solids and she is pig!  Yesterday she ate half of a small sweet potato and last night she ate two big carrots.  And she'll sit in her chair and just yell at you until you feed her more.  Then she breastfeed about 3o mins later!  Good thing about all this food is she usually sleeps until 6 am.  So I get a full nights sleep!  LOVE IT.
Dex is being super cute with her and loves to go up and give her big hugs now.  He really likes babies now.  Yesterday as we were moving dirt he picked up a little clod and called it "baby dirt"  he is so stinkin cute. 

Bows!

So I found out my neighbor is into making bows for her daughter and she invited me over to make some with her.  I have to say I was not that great at it but they turned out good and they are so easy and fun.  She does all sorts of stuff she even made little ladybugs for Fin.  Look how cute they look!

Dex and I made some easter decorations to put on our door.  He loved gluing the eyes on the chicks and then he picked where they would be on the door.  He is such an artist.

April Fools!

Today was pretty fun I was determined to pull on prank on Rich.  The first thing I did was put kool-aid in the shower head.  I know not very creative but it was pay back for valentines day when he did it to me.  So he gets out of the shower and is laughing at me and my non-creativity when he goes to put on his pants on and can't get his leg through one of the legs.  I stapled his pant leg.  He laughed and I finally got the kudos I deserved.  Mission accomplished.
Today was also a great day because I found out I got a new job!  I had interviewed at Jordan Valley 2 weeks ago for this position and had not heard anything back so on a whim I called today and they offered me the position!  It's going to be so great not only is it 20 minutes closer to my house but I'll also be getting a 25% raise!  I'm stoked.  I gave my 2 weeks today, I can't wait to start!
