I LOVE SUNSHINE!

It is so pretty here!  The flowers are all blooming now and everything is so green!  There is still snow on the mountain tops though.  Kinda weird with it being 80 degrees and still seeing snow higher up. 
We got so much accomplished today.  The patio furniture is a success!!!  We added bamboo privacy panels to our fence line.  I will do a new video soon and post it.  We wanted to get everything real purty before my parents get here!  :)  Can't wait! 
I miss my Anna!  I know all good things must come to an end, but we had a blast, and I wanted it to last.  Ha!  That rhymed! lol!  I am still on the lookout for Romeo.  I figure if I can find him and have him ready for her next visit, I can trap her here with LOVE! ;) 
We worked our butts off today trying to get everything done.  We still have so much to do.  We want to add some light and greenery to the back next.  We just have to find a good place to get the plants.  I plan to go look Monday and see what I can find.  I am so glad the kids are out of school next week.  That will give us some time to get plenty done and have some fun.  There I go with my rhyming again!  hahaha!  I am so not doing that on purpose! 
Abbi isn't feeling too well tonight.  There are a couple other kids in the building sick, so I hope she isn't getting sick too.  She has had a headache today.  I am hoping it was from being in the sun all day.  We also went for a couple of bike rides, so I am sure that wore on her too.  Fisher and Hunter are doing great.  Fisher did misbehave quite a bit today, but that has become the norm.  He does well with discipline though, and is quick to apologize.  He was so cute today.  I gave him some candy and he told me thank you without me telling him to say it.  My baby is getting big!  : /  Hunter's behavior has been much better lately.  Between spankings, no playstation, no bike...I think we are getting somewhere!  He LOVES to be on that bicycle. 
We have really been enjoying riding along the river.  Rob saw an otter today.  We've also seen wild geese.  Nature is so beautiful here!  Who's booking their flight?! 
How about our government coming through at the last minute last night?  I am so thankful!  We defnitely wouldn't have starved or anything for a while, but who wants to go without a check?!  I know it is just a temporary fix to a HUGE problem, but I defnitely intend to spend some time praying about this one.  I normally don't go to deep with politics, but this matter concerns my family in a little bit bigger way.  If that is possible. 
I am so excited to have been able to talk to a friend tonight on the phone!  We miss our little ballpark so much and the people there!  Baseball and softball just are not the same here.  Not many similarities between Europe and the good ole USA, but we have managed to make a home here and we do like it.  We miss you all and love each one of you so much!  Time to get some beauty sleep...I need it after all that work I did today!  ;)
