Windows

I know this is sorta boring but after months of calls and quotes we finally got the rest of the windows in the house replaced. All but three windows where done when we moved in. I hope that it keeps the house warmer. I've been bustin' by butt in the back yard and hope that it pays off to be much more beautiful this summer. Anything worthwhile takes some work or at least I keep telling myself. It takes me back to the Saturdays working in the yard at home. Now i just need to have some kids to help me do the work :) I'm glad for the Strong work ethic I was raised with. I know it seems surprising since I probably complained the most, but I am better off today because of it.

Birthdays oh birthday

So I'm turning 27 soon. I'm sure I'll have some post about it after it happens as I seem to have some sort of mid life crisis every year. Then i get over it. The true reason for the post is I was hoping everyone could email me the birthday of all there wife's and husband's and children. Please send them to my work Email: reynoldsjo@usa.redcross.org I actually can schedule it on my outlook calender. It was my goal to be more active about this and I missed Luke's birthday and was totally bumbed. Thanks!

IKEA easter

WE sorta had this awkward area after the kitchen that extended to the other bathroom. It was like a dinning area but was really long. So we decided to split it into a reading room. We already had the bookcase from earlier. We went to Ikea to get some chairs and ended up with a kitchen table too ( it was way on sale... boo-ya!). So we spent the whole weekend building the table and its six chairs. The two ponga chairs with the little table. That little table was probably the most expenisve thing. We moved the bookcase out of the office and into the this room. We also got the cool sheep rug so you had a soft place for your feet. I was against the foot rest so there is only one and Lucas had to buy it with his own money. :) Ialso got a really big vase that is about three feet tall but didn't take a picture of it. Its in the other TV front room. The area ended up looking pretty good and has a great view of the pool area. (really pretty and calming at night with the pool lights on)

pure beauty

I've been waiting a year for these to come up. I bought them after season last year becasue they where on sell. I will have a row of eight and I think they are just awesome. Plus I noticed I could use a some pictures. Below are some pictures of our land scaping work.

Strep vs Joel round 32

This was yesterday

This is today

I seem very susceptible to this bug. They want to take my tonsils but i refuse. I seem to have it bad this time. Not sure how i got it but i know one of my co-workers had it the week before. I thought I would take some pictures to gross everyone out except Valerie.
