Garden part 2

In our garden we planted tomatos, peppers, eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli, beets, spinach, lettuce, and okra. Hopefully it will produce lots of vegetables. We've already got some sprouts coming up. In the picture below Andrew is putting our grass clippings in the compost bin that we built.

Guest Bedroom




Before mom and dad came down to stay with us for spring break we surprised them by getting a bed for the guest bedroom and finishing the headboard. They thought they were going to have to sleep on an air mattress all week. For the headboard we used a door from grandma and grandpa Olson's farm. The door on this bed is from the closet in their old bedroom. Now our next project is starting the headboard for our bed.

Foster Falls





























Tuesday March 22, 2011 we took mom and dad to Foster Falls in Tenessee. It was a beatiful day outside. We had lunch there and hiked to the bottom of the falls and back up. We then drove to Sewannee Tn and hiked a trail there. We hiked to a stone tunnel where people had carved their names in it. We found a name dated at 1900. It was a fun day. There are lots of other trails at Sewannee, so I'm sure we will be back.

New Home

I will be posting pics of our house soon! I just have to get the rest of the decorations up. We are all moved in and I love our house! Ken and Arlene came down last week and helped us pack everything up and move on Saturday. We then got 6 inches of snow here on Sunday night so school and work were closed Monday and Tuesday. It gave us extra time to unpack and decorate and spend time with Ken and Arlene. It worked out perfectly.

Christmas Tree







We went and got our Christmas tree on Saturday Nov 27. We decided to try a new farm this year but didn't stay long. It was a farm of Charlie Brown Christmas Trees. We couldn't find one good one, they were all cut very short and fat, so we drove back to the farm we went to last year and found our tree. So far the kitties have been pretty good with it, the only thing they try to do is eat it and maybe play with a few ornaments. Christmas is almost here! We are excited to come home.
