* 2 news--they are really funny, especially in the morning :)
* I used to watch Friends a lot, but then Nate told me it wasn't appropriate around our kids (he's right of course!) so I haven't watched it for a long time. Don't worry he has also stopped watching Simpsons :)

8 Things I Did Yesterday:

* Went to Subway (Nate is gone and we don't cook when he's gone!)
* Took Kace to school
* Mowed the lawn for the last time (I really just wanted to see the leaves get mulched and so it wouldn't look so much like I needed to rake them) :)
* Did laundry
* played on the computer
* Read books to Kace and Ty the guy
* Played a game with Kace

8 Things I Look Forward To:

* The next BYU game and hoping they will show up
* building a shed.........and then we can work on finishing the basement
* Christmas and pretty much all holidays
* Nate coming home
* a date night with free babysitting
* naptime (so I can try to get something done)

8 Things On My Wishlist:

* new windows
* new lawn
* shed
* external hard drive
* a smaller camera to just put in my purse. Then I won't 'forget' my camera anymore
* a new countertop for the kitchen
* BYU to win stupid Utah (that really should be at the top, but this is in no particular order)
* Nothing really, these things are just extra (except for the one above). We don't need anything and are very blessed. These are just my selfish desires :)

Now I am supposed to post the 4 picture in my 4 folder in my pictures..........should be interesting......

Okay, this wasn't too bad. Obviously it is Kace all dressed up for Halloween in 2005.

Okay, now I don't want to tag anybody, but if you want to do it feel free, it makes for an easy idea of what to post about..........well, maybe I should tag Kim because she hasn't posted ANYTHING for quite awhile and Natelli, because she can't think of anything either.

once upon a time a boy 'threw a fit!"

Yesterday Kace got mad when I asked him to do something. He went in time-out (for like 30 minutes!) and we went on our day. That night as I was getting into bed I lifted up one of my pillows and there was this cute note under it. I LOVED IT! I think he did a pretty good job for doing it all by himself. I did laugh too because it was funny, but SO cute at the same time. I remember writing notes for my parents and leaving them under their pillows (do you remember that mom?)
Anyway, since this blog is my journal I went to ICON today and had Heidi (she wanted me to mention her name :) ) scan the note into the computer, Now I can have it forever......oh, and don't mention this to Kace he might be embarrassed.

Translation (I don't think you will need it, but some of the words are a little hard to read):
Sorry I threw a littil fit
I don't no wat I was thinking today (we had a discussion on what he was thinking during this hard moment)
I am sorry

Nate's projects.........FINISHED........almost

Every year at tithing settlement we set goals with our bishop, one spiritual and one temporal. Nate's goal last year was to get a door cut into the foundation of our house so we could have another entrance into our basement. He got that done, but we never poured cement for stairs. So this summer we did that........along with a little patio. It looks great!

Also, Nate has been so excited (pretty much ever since we moved here) to dig a pond and have fish and ducks. And ever since we have moved here I have wanted to plant more grass in the front yard (right now it seems as if it is a big pile of weeds), Nate had always said that it would be really expensive to water it (our front lawn is pretty big). We do have one acre share of water rights so he borrowed our neighbor's backhoe (A LOT!) and started digging. Sometimes he would dig until 1-2 in the morning (weird). He just wanted to get finished. The boys loved riding in the backhoe with their dad, unfortunately I forgot to get pictures. I will keep some when he does the trenches. Everytime Ty heard the sound of the backhoe engine coming down the road he would do this wiggle dance and start RUNNING for the door. He does the wiggle dance for any sort of machine: tractor, 4-wheeler, big truck, cement truck (yep, we got to see it when we poured cement), etc.
The pond is pretty deep, about six feet and just feels up with the ground water. I couldn't believe how high the water table was, but it is. Nate had to pump out the water for a long time before he started digging, because it was hard to dig with the water.

These are both pictures taken from upstairs in our house, just so you get the idea.

I will have to make sure the boys don't go out there, right now, they don't, but hopefully they always remember that rule. Nate says he will build a fence, but who knows if that will keep them out. I am kind of nervous about that.
All he has left to do (I think) is dig the trenches for the water lines and we can plant grass and have a sprinkler system. YEA!
He has already got a couple of ducks and is looking on ksl everyday for other free ones (even though I keep telling him that they aren't FREE we have to take care of them) and has the fish that him and Kace have caught from the river by our house.

Nate made a HUGE pile of dirt that has since become a favorite place to play for the boys and their friends. It will make a KILLER sledding hill in the winter. He is going to use some of the dirt to back fill where he wants to build his monster shed (someday, people, someday!)

This is the view our upstairs bedroom window of the monster dirt hill. Also is a shot of the great swing set (also HUGE) that my dad built for the boys. How lucky are they?!

Well, I am off to get ready for tomorrow we go to Ft. Worth, texas. RISE AND SHOUT!
