We got a little bit crazy again, and built a deck!
It basically wa the project of "I don't know. We'll figure it out"
There weren't really tutorials online for exactly how we were doing it, so we weren't exactly sure what we were doing. Thankfully, it all ended up working out and the deck turned out pretty darn good.
The kids loved getting to help and were such good sports about the time we spent on the deck.
We tilled up about 2/3 of the backyard and layed down new sod, and by we I mean Taylor.
The grass that was there was spotty at best, full of weeds, and just wasn't improving as fast as we would have liked it to or really much at all.
Taylor, his dad, an uncle, and one of his cousins helped us lay the sod.
We loved it so much it made us wish we had spent the money to do the entire yard.
Mother's day
Taylor spoiled me by spending the day doing some big home cleaning projects for me that we had been putting off.
These cute girls learned how to ride their bikes without training wheels!
They just happened to learn about a day apart.
We were really impressed with how fast Ella caught on, and now she zips around on her bike all day every day.
Macey had a birthday!
1 whole year old.
Macey's best friend is Winnie and in that picture is Winnie's mom.
Winnie sent over some birthday treats for crazy Macey.
We paid someone to do the framing on the unfinished side of the basement.
It was totally worth the money because there was so much detail framing that had to be done.
Having it done in 3 nights versus the 3+ weeks it would have taken us was amazing.
We went on lots and lots of walk to help with gestational diabetes and also to hopefully give my body a little motivation to get the baby out sooner rather than later.
We got a freak snowstorm late in the month.
Of course, it happened on the day we had planned a Costco trip to stock up on things we needed.
It made for a less than pleasant drive.
And here you see the first time the kids wore masks. Little did we know it would be the first of MANY times they wore masks.
After we finished the deck, I decided it needed a place for the kids to sit and eat at.
That led to my next project... I built a picnic table for the kids!
It was a fun, simple project.
Popsicles. tons and tons of popsicles.
We had a game night at our house with our little group of friends.
I started doing non stress tests to monitor the baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy.
I really loved getting to hear her heartbeat for so long and see how it coincided with her movements.
