Jeep, House, Grass, Garden

Well We have been extra busy over the last month since we moved intou the house. We put sod in the front yard, so we have to make sure it gets plenty of water. We actually got the sod for free. There is road constuction in Pocatello, so all of the grass that was there was dug up and put inot a huge pile. We made several trips over there and pieced it together like a puzzle in the front yard. It has been in about 2 weeks and is starting to green up a lot, mostly in patches, but it's better than it was.
We have also been working on the Jeep a lot too. We took the front fenders off and are in the process of taking off the axels so that we can put stronger ones on. After that we are going to put on the 37 inch tires and do a lift. Then we will make fender flares for the front and attach rock crushers on the back and sides. Then we will probably do a new paint job when everything is done. It is turning out to be quite the fun project.
Devin also bought an F350 diesel. It needs a new motor and transmission, but it still runs really strong and pulls just about anything. We are going to put new seats in and replace the lights on the roof. It is a fun project too.
We have also gotten our garden ready to plant. I found vegetable seeds at the dollar store, 6 packets for $1! I was pretty excited about that. I will be planting the seeds in the next day or two and I have high hopes of growing lots of veggies. mmmmm! Thanks Dad for teaching me how to garden when I was a kid!
I think that is most of our lives right now. Corey is doing good and liking his new daycare (despite being kicked in the head his first week!). Devin is doing good with school and work. Yeah, we're just busy busy!
