I had to put in this  photo too

Jeremy and I got our horseshoe pits all cleaned and ready to be played in.  So we did some practice throws.  I made this one!  This is the only close one I made.  Jeremy actually got a ringer.  I almost hit the house.  Hopefully I wont be playing that bad on Friday.

Day 20, yard work and a little bit of slippin' slide

Day 20

Something you couldn't live without

*Toilet paper (we almost had to the day before, pretty scary stuff)

This weekend:

So this weekend was spent doing a lot of yard work.  We are trying to get ready for the BBQ we are having on Friday.  When we moved into our house in October the yard was a mess.  Nobody had taken care of it for months and with fall on it's way there wasn't a whole lot we could do.  So we are doing a ton of yard work this spring to make up for last year.  Weeds are being pulled, trees and bushes getting trimmed lawn getting new grass seed and a bunch of other stuff.

I spent some time pulling weeds, my body isn't as young as it use to be (ok I probably would have complained about it when I was young too).  My back and my knees hurt and i'm still not done.  Our yard is looking pretty good.  Jeremy got the horse shoe pits cleaned out and is hoping to play some horse shoes at the BBQ.

We moved out trailer to a storage unit.  That wont be a fun expanse but our yard looks a lot better without it back there.  We are coming up with so many ideas to do, now if we can only get them done someday.  We still have a lot of trees we would like to cut down and rocks moved out of our yard.  Jeremy is making it all real nice though.

He even has our BBQer ready for Friday.

Time to Cool off

I bought the girls a slippin' slide this week.  We finally got to use it.  Tyra loved it, she thought it was so much fun, but Shelby did it once and then her dad made her go on it again and she decided that she just didn't like it.  I guess we will have to get her a little swimming pool.

Jeremy even took advantage of the slippin' slide and the hot day.  He had a blast.  It was pretty funny watching a grown man use the slippin' slide, it was like he was a kid again.  I haven't gotten brave enough to use it, maybe someday when I am skinny again.

Now it is time to clean the garage and the house.  So much fun it is.

Ok, I know I didn't finish my last photo challenge, but I am going to finish this one.  I have been doing this photo challenge with my friend Shannon.  She just lives down the road from me.  We do good reminding each other to take the photo of the day.  It's been a lot of fun.  I'm already on day 16, I think I probably will finish this one.  I have been posting them on facebook, but I think I will post them on my blog for those of you who aren't on facebook.  So her is May's photo challenge...

What You're Reading

I am going to try to be better at posting the other ones so there isn't so many next time.

Today I turned 30

So Today Is My Birthday.

I Turned 30 Today!

So What Happened To the Last 10 Years Of My Life?

It Went By So Fast!

I sit and ponder about what I have done with my life so far.  I really don't have a lot to say about it.  I haven't done anything super amazing.

Here are a few things that I think were important to me while I was in my 20's.

1. Married a wonderful Man!
2. Bought our first car, a red Chevy Tracker!
3. Drove down the California coast line (pretty awesome, would love to do again).
4. Had my wonderful little daughter Tyra!
5. Got sealed in the Boise Idaho Temple to my wonderful husband!
6. Spent 18 months away from my husband due to his deployment in Iraq.
7. Got to take a couple of trips to San Antonio Texas to see my in-laws.
8. Bought another car, a Suzuki Grand Vitara.
9. Had my other wonderful daughter Shelby!
10. Got to go to many family reunions, which I love.
11. Got to drive up the Washington coast, beautiful.
12. Got to meet a lot of Jeremy's family member and I love them.
13. My oldest daughter started school.
14. Started selling Scentsy.
15. Bought a house and moved.
16. Lived to be 30 years old
17. Married 10 years (I know this is after I turned 30, but I think it's pretty important)

Ok those were a few things.  I was going to do 20 things, but I couldn't come up with 20 things.

I have started a bucket list.  40 things to do before I'm 40.  I think I only a a few things written down.

• Learn to Kickbox
• Learn to shoot a gun
• Go on a road trip with my best friends
• Weigh 115 lbs again.

I am hoping to add more to my bucket list, some time.

My Birthday Cake

Here is something to end the day.
