How I spent my summer ...

The three Chappell girls at a farm we visited during our family reunion, we loved this old tractor so we took this for my Grandpa.













Here is the main reason I spent a whole month in Rigby Idaho. This is number 6, and his name is Cole Eugene. My grandpa is very proud!!!!














We raised 15 Quail to release in our yard, the plan was for them to hang around. After a few months we had 11 to set free.













This morning we let them go, they didnt go too far at first. They really loved the pile of beauty bark right out side the coop.














This is at reunion too, I know my daughter looks just like me. BBEEAAAUUUUTTTTYYYYYYY!!

Kitchen project

This is the color before

I did'nt let her eat much.














She really loved the feel of the grass, I thought she would want to go in the tube but she could'nt break herself away.

I did'nt let her eat much.

The girls and I went over to Grandma Inman's house after are Lowe's date to give her flowers to plant. She thought it would be fun for the girls to plant them so they did.

A robin built a nest on top of the wreath on the front porch and the eggs hatched, so we needed to see the babies. Buggies eyes were huge when she saw them.



Audrey was ahh struck to have such

luck to have a nest on your own porch.
She said they were really hard to see cause they were very still, you could barely see their feathers blowing in the wind.

Kicky Girl

I think this is the first time the princess ever touch grass in her little life. She was lovin it.

This pond is stinkin beautiful, clear and well done. This is how I wanted my pond to look like in my yard. Hey that is a great next year Mothers day surprise!!!!!

My girls took me to my favorite nursery near our house for the mother of mothers day surprises. I got to pick out a dogwood tree. I choose a "red" which looks kind of salmon color. When we get it planted I'll post a picture of it.

These two last pictures are at Lowes on their Craft Sat. that we have been taking the girls to. This week Amanda and I took them cause Grandpa was tooooo busy. They got to make a bird feeder this time. Next week we are making a garden flower box with a trellis. I always get to be the lucky one to help Buggie, maybe that is why I took my nails off.

This trip we spent the better part of the day hiking around the really big hills near some really beautiful falls. It kicked by butt and ruined my calf's for a few days. However when I look at the pictures I remember how stinkin gorgeous it was.

Laura at the outlook in Oregon on are trip in April. This was fun cause there is'nt a tax and we found some great stores.
