This was a recuperative week for sure. Given how much we were gone in February you would think our house would have stayed relatively clean but unfortunately, it served as the dumping grounds between excursions so we spent a lot of time doing laundry and cleaning. We just couldn't get enough of that so we went over to The Sleeper House and cleaned that from top to bottom and did all the laundry from the construction workers who had been staying there. We now have another crew from Buffalo, New York that will be staying for the next 2 months. Good times.
The week was marked by some celebration for the best 9 year old boy in the whole world who had the audacity to turn 10! We went up to Rexburg, accompanied by Ian's friend, Max and played at the amusement center up there, had some pizza, and came home to a houseful of our favorite guests. Alex's parents, his brother and kids, and Mom and Emma came to sing Happy Birthday and eat ice cream cake. Ian insisted on getting it from the same place that Victoria and Thomas got their wedding cake. It was pretty tasty! We loved having Mom and Emma up. We seriously have the greatest family!
Our house is officially off the market and now Alex has to endure all my ideas for raising the roof on our existing house and adding a complete second story. Haha!
It has been so nice this week and we decided to get out and prep the garden yesterday. It was so nice to get out and work! We made some good progress and are hoping to get some compost on the garden this next week and plant some peas and lettuce. My seed catalogues should be here this week and then we can really get cracking!
Hope all is well with everyone. Can't wait for the next chance to be with you all!
Thanks for always putting up such fun photos! I really need to learn about the app you use to do that! It helps that you have photogenic folks to take pictures of...
