KRAIG IS 11!!!

Hardly seems possible, but Kraig is 11 today!

Yesterday I had a busy, but fun day. First I went to Chloe and Cayla's T-ball game. It was the last one so they each got a trophy. I will post some pictures. Their game started at 9 am in St. Joe and Casey's softball game started in Butler at 10 am. Kurt, Kraig and I watched the T-ball game and as soon as it was over and they had been awarded their trophys, I started out to go to Casey's game. Christy is the assistant coach so she was already there. Kurt was heading to wait in line at the concession stand to get the girls cotton candy when I left. As they were having Kraig's party that night, they went home to get things ready and did not go to Casey's game. As ususal, Casey's team played a great game and they won 18-6. This was the first of her tournament games. They play again Monday night, but I have a Library Board meeting so I will miss it. I went home, did the laundry etc. Mom, Linda, Tonnya, Courtney & Alexis stopped in to see our home and then (even though Keith was not home from his auction-they sold out a furniture store in Fostoria) I went on to Kraig's birthday party. Keith came as soon as he could, but Kraig waited until he got there to open his presents. We got him a 22 rifle. His other grandparents got him a BB and pellet rifle. I will post some pictures of the party too.

Keith is taking a nap now (after all it is Father's Day). You know that sounds like a good idea - even for mothers so I will sign off.

CEMENT BLOCKS EVERYWHERE!!!!

One of these days, these will be a beautiful building!! We finally got our computer moved to the new house and internet hooked up yesterday so I will try to keep you informed on the progress.

Slow but Sure

Gary and Keith laid the first row of block Thursday night. I will post the pictures. I went to the girl's ballgames today. All three got hits and that was the first I had seen Cayla hit off a pitch and not the T. Chloe is quite a slugger!! Casey's team was so far ahead that they only had to play five innings. They all played great today!!

Long overdue post!!

I just realized that I have not had a new post for over a month. We sold our home and have the closing soon. All of you who know Keith know that he has been wanting a pole barn at our old home for years. Well, we (actually Keith's brother Gary) poured the footer for a 30 x 40 building at our new home Monday. Gary will be putting up a split stone cement block building for us. The block look like stone on the front and are a beige that matches the lightest brick in the house. Keith is excited as he will now have space for his drill press, table saw etc. I am happy as they will be out of the garage!! I will post a picture of the footer. It is to the south of the house and does not interfere with our view of the ponds from the house.

We still have a few things to move but as starting June 12 to the 30th (18 days) Keith has 14 auctions, I'm not sure when we will get it done. Chloe and Cayla have a t-ball game tonight that I am going to and they also have one Saturday and Casey has a softball game Saturday too. After the game, Kurt's family is taking me out to lunch for my birthday.

Kurt came out last night and put his deer stand in the woods. He's looking forward to hunting season already.

Keith has been so busy with the auctions lately which is good. We also had the guy with the backhoe pull out some shrubs that were past their prime and when we get some good dirt put in, I will plant the plants that Kevin & Sarah got me for my birthday and Mother's Day.

We are pretty organized in our new home except for the scrapbook room as my desk is still at the old house. As we have so much more storage space, it is easier to keep the house clean.

I am also going to post pictures of the girls at one of their games this year. If I have time will add pictures of the landscaping before the bushes were pulled and after, but as I have not planted the new plants, that will have to wait for a later post. Don't have time for the after picture on the bushes. Gotta go to the game. I'll post it when I get the plants in and do a before and after then.
