Frog...and the girls!!!!

Shane found a frog in the front yard

so we put it in the pool for the girls.

They were having so much fun splashing around trying to get it

Oakley finally got it in her mouth and into the grass.

It was pretty cute watching them jump

every time the frog jumped.

I know Riley is cut out, but I thought this was a really cute picture

I finally got a good one of Oakley.

Isn't she cute!!!

Riley didn't really want to get her picture taken.

She looks kind of upset at me but so cute.

Driveway Project Continued.....

We removed the rock from the front of the house

to use for the driveway expansion.

We are going to be removing all the bushes

and planting grass and new bushes.

Our neighbor made up this contraption to sift out the dirt from the rock.

Shane said it felt like he was searching for gold.

Unfortunately this is all we found.

Here is a final picture of the front part of the new driveway.

Towards the back we will be spreading

out the dirt and putting gravel eventually.

Driveway Expansion Project

Shane decided that he wanted to widen the driveway.

After all the dirt is moved. It sure was fun shoveling all that dirt.

The boards are up and now all we have to do is

put rock or gravel down for now.

Someday we will cement it all.

Shane imagines parking his future duck boat there.

That is if I ever let him get it.

I just don't understand why one man needs two boats.

New sewer pipe

We had to get 20 ft of old sewer pipe replaced.

Start of the hole.

The hole with the new pipe in it.

Just waiting for the city inspector come.

Another picture of the hole.

Covering the hole back up.

So our yard looks terrible but we will

never have to call Roto Rooter again.

Shane is going to let it settle for a few weeks.

Then we are going to get a few truck loads of black dirt.

Shane is going to spread it all around with his

new snow plow blade on the 4 Wheeler.

Knowing Shane he will have a good time doing this project.

Pool and other fun stuff!!!!

Riley and Oakley

This is the most recent picture of the two of them.

As you can see Oakley is getting so big.

Oakley finally sitting still so I can get a cute picture.

I think they have a ball somewhere under
them that they are playing with.

Oakley loves the water.

She even bites at the sprinkler when it is on.

Looking out into the yard.

As you can see Oakley is catching up to Riley very quickly.

Grandma Sheila bought the girls a pool when she was here in June.

Riley didn't want anything to do with the pool and now she loves it.

Playing with the ball splashing around.

Oakley with the garden hose again.

Both of them in the pool.

Thank you grandma we love our pool.

Can't wait to show you next time you visit.
