Cement

My darling farmer of a husband loves projects, they keep him sane in the 'big' city. We've talked about putting in a RV pad since we moved in, and it is finally done. It was a multi step process (which I don't have pictures of) but Carl made sure everything was as perfect as he could get it. I can't count how many hours he spent trying to level the whole thing. I can tell you I am excited for it for a couple of reasons; the grass over there looked like crap all the time, and we were able to add an extra sprinkler line in the back for my garden. Garrick also now has somewhere to ride his trike, which he can finally ride himself. Doesn't it look nice!

The Kids

It has been a while and I still don't feel like anything extremely exciting is going on so here is what is going on with the two most fun people at our house:

MARLEY:
Is so sweet and seems to be getting sweeter and with time. She lays on my shoulder if I'm talking to someone and they address her. She is a crawling maniac, but only to get somewhere where she can pull herself up and stand, walking is in the near future. She loves her dad. And Icky is her favorite person on the planet, she imitates him and everything. She sings and talks like crazy and she just started dancing (she has surprisingly good rhythm). Her hair is getting long and I think she would look cute if I could figure out what to do with it, the barrettes aren't working very well. (I'll take any suggestions, the piggies in the picture are cute but not all her hair fits.) She is also getting a little chunky, which is adorable.


GARRICK:
he is our little powerhouse. Still as big as ever but with more energy. He has been really cute and is learning to help around the house so that he can earn money for his next "Thomas" train character. He has three so far. He is getting better about interacting with Marley, since she adores him she'll follow him and they play follow the leader. He loves to get in her crib when she wakes up from naps and always wants me to take a picture. He still tells everyone that he watched the Polar Express even though we haven't since Christmas, and he sings the song and tells the story. He is way too smart for his good and remembers EVERYTHING! He also had his first dentist visit and loved it. He got a sliver today and I said if he didn't let me get it out I'd have to take him to the Dr. He replied by saying he wanted to go to the dentist.
