Back Yard

So I have done tons of projects but I haven't put the pictures on the computer just yet. My old computer used to have an SD slot that fit my card but the new computer only takes the bigger cards so now I have to hook the camera up to the computer. When I finally decided I'm going to blog the cord is always very far away and I just can't bring myself to go get it. Currently it's upstairs and I'm outside working on the yard so I just can't go get it. Anyway, I thought I'd write a little about what we've been up to.

We celebrated Memorial Day over in Logan with Devin's family. It was really cold but they all went water skiing. It really just didn't sound fun to me so I didn't go. I wasn't feeling that great and hadn't slept at all. Emry didn't like the tent. He's used to his crib where he can move around anywhere he wants so sleeping with mom and dad didn't work. He cried until midnight. He'd fall asleep then we'd move and he'd start screaming again. So at 12 I had had it and took Emry to the car and drove to Devin's parents house. I was about a mile from the house and decided I was too scared to stay there alone. His parents NEVER lock there house so that just freaked me out. So I turned around and went back to the lake and we sort of slept in the car. Well Emry slept. He'd wake up when I turned the car on or off for heat but at least he got a few hours of sleep. Worst night ever. So that's pretty much why I had absolutely no motivation to play or do anything but take a nap. Which we did til we got woken up by screams about who's gonna ski next. But Devin had fun.
Then I spent the next week cleaning my Grandparents house. It was very weird going there and having it be completely empty. But let me tell you, if you don't clean your house at least once a year it adds up. They lived there for about seven years and that place NEVER got cleaned. It took forever to clean and I literally had my hand freeze in the trigger squeeze position from squeezing cleaning bottle spray stuff all day long. It hurt. The last day I was cleaning I walked between two cars and there was a spider web between them. So of course natural reaction is to FREAK out and wave your arms to get the spider off you where ever it might be. Remember I was standing between two cars? Ya I hit the back of my arm on the mirrow and it left a bump about the size of an orange on my elbow. It hurt very very bad and I couldn't bend my arm anymore. So there went the rest of the cleaning. I finished up everything I could do with one arm and called it quits. Devin came back to Utah that weekend to pick up our couch and the rest of the stuff we had at my moms. We finally made it back to Wyoming on Sunday. It was a long two weeks to be gone from home.
We also had a garage sale the weekend before Memorial day. We made out pretty dang good. Devin decided he wanted to use the money to buy a TV for downstairs so he did that last night. I've been stocking up on my decorations and trying to figure out where and what I want to hang. Hopefully that will be done this weekend. I have finished my bed, Emry's dressor, and his toy chest. I still have his 2 end tables, console table, coffee table and 3 end tables to re-do before our next garage sale so we can get rid of the rest of what didn't sell last time. But that's going to have to wait because I decided to start on the yard. Well we really should be working on the front yard but we don't really get to enjoy that so I'm starting in the backyard. I'm currently building a fire pit. I hope it turns out how I want it. Then a sand box for Emry, then I'll start on the front yard. We'll see how much Devin helps out haha.
Until next time......
