Overload....

Well, where to start? It's been a while... Tad is still off work. His eye is healed up, but hopefully he'll be home until the middle of June before he has to go back and deal with all of that stress. And hopefully he'll be able to find another job or at least the hopes of another job before then. But there aren't too many jobs here in Albuquerque unfortunately. But we spend nearly every day filling out new applications. It's amazing how difficult some agencies make it to apply for a job.

Last week we took an impromptu trip back to Thatcher to see the new Gila Valley Temple open house. We didn't take any pictures of it because there were always a ton of people standing in the front, but here is a good article with pictures here. It was really beautiful. We also rented Avatar from Blockbuster and ended up losing it the next day. And we saw 2 scorpions in the house and one of them was on my foot!

I put up a little shelf in the boys room so now they can have some of their favorite dinosaurs up.


On the side of our house, some flower bulbs have come up. I'm not sure what kind they are and am suprised that they bloomed because I never water them, but they sure are beautiful.







Darci is a silly little girl that now likes to climb on and around everything.


We've been working on our yard. I've planted several things and then we got 2 or 3 big frosts, so I'm not sure if that original planting will make it, but am going to plant some more tomorrow and will post some pictures of that soon.



This hail storm was in May! I can't believe how long it's taking to warm up this year. We weren't expecting this and like I said I think it may have froze a lot of by veggie plants.





We finally put some storage into the closet under the stairs. It was actually pretty easy to do, but next time we build something we are going to invest in a stud-finder...


Now we just have to work on increasing our food supply...



Tad likes fixing the girls hair to see if he can put more ponytails in than the previous time.

You've just inspired me to clean out our pantry. Love the pony tails too!

Ok seriously!!!! The pony tail thing is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Let Tad know that I am officially proud of him.
