Concrete Weekend

For the last three weeks Kent and I have been prepping our backyard to pour a bigger patio. So after digging dirt out and adding gravel we are ready for the concrete. The concrete truck got to our house around 8 saturday morning and we (meaning Kent and friends) wheelbarrowed concrete to the backyard. We had good help so it only took a hour to get the concrete in place. We also poured a pad for a future shed on the side of our house.

It might have only taken an hour to get the concrete in place but it took an additional five hours of smoothing to get it to look pretty. Thanks to my Dad for all his had work and knowledge of what to do.



Finished product.
We are now ready for the hot tub that has been sitting in our garage for the past few weeks.


The kids had to add themselves to the project. Of course it won't be just the five of us as of May 2009.

Soccer "KICKS"

Tanner had his last Soccer game on Saturday. He just informed me that... "I've decided I don't want to play soccer anymore. I just want to play basketball and baseball." I told him he was really good and soccer. He still seemed stuck on just playing basketball and baseball. I have already paid for spring soccer so I'll see what he decided in the spring. Tanner is number 2



Tanner's really into doing tricks with the ball to try and get it away for the other team. He is actually pretty good at it.
