Alright, alright, I know . . . it's been almost a month. We just get so busy!! I guess sometimes we also don't think our lives are all that exciting or anything so we don't really post anything. So I guess I will just update everyone on what has been going on the last month.
We have been getting our home together. Dave built a fence with lots of help from a neighbor and help from friends! Building a fence is a heck of a lot of work, let me tell ya! Dave put in our garage door opener (not as easy as we thought it would be). Dave extended our patio last weekend he ended up lifting over 2 tons three different times (and of course, not all at once!), needless to say he is still recovering from all that cement work. We completed our backyard, minus our garden which we will plant in a couple of weeks, when we are sure to be out of the freezing nights. Dave had to break up the clay that was our backyard and we brought in all sorts of new soil, layed sod, planted shrubs, flowers, and fruit trees. We are tired. And of course, it is raining now so we cannot enjoy the fruits of our labors yet.
I have to say that we are truly blessed with wonderful family and friends who are always willing to help! They will be blessed for their service. It is a great thing to serve and I hope I will be able to serve others as well!
So I am silly and didn't take in before/after photos of the backyard. I will take some updated photos when it stops raining and looking so bleak outside, so any who are interested in the final product are just going to have to wait ;)
Here are some other photos over the past month, enjoy!
We went to the coast for the first time with Bella. It was sunny, but windy :) 
Bella kept trying to stick her tongue out to tast the wind, it was pretty cute. We just can't stop kissing our little baby girl!
Bella met her cousins, Dennis and Fran. She sure did like looking at them, especially Fran! (They were down for the knife show, we missed having Scotty and Robin from Hawaii this year, they are expecting their first baby)
I LOVE this little dress on Bella, SUPER CUTE! It is from Momma Jackson (Stephanie Sasser's mom).
Daddy was playing with Bella and making her laugh, I got the picture taken at the tail end of the laughter. We LOVE making her laugh, it just swells our hearts with joy!!
