New Photos

My parents came down to visit us this weekend, so of course there are new photos on the PHOTOS PAGE.

Guess what??

I'm Special Galen!!!

My daddy told me I was Special Ed, but I said "daddy, my name's not ED, it's GALEN!"

So I'm Special Galen!!

Nice Weekend

We didn't have any big Easter celebrations, or family get-togethers over the weekend, but it was still a good couple days away from the daily grind.

We have been working on a small patch of garden, and it has taken me forever to till the area by hand, 1.) because I'm out of shape, and 2.) because I'm lazy. I am, however, just about done with it now. I need to go through it one more time to loosen up the dirt and add some nice organic material, and then I'm going to go ahead and start planting some things to get our garden started!

The prospect of a garden is exciting on several levels...several, bulleted levels...

• Taking care of the garden will get us out of the house, i.e. away from the refrigerator.


• Fresh vegetables are always a good thing.


• Karen will be able to make a garden spreadsheet.


• If the gardening endeavor is successful, we will have some sense of accomplishment...something our jobs don't give us.

On to the next matter it hand...

Karen looked out the kitchen window on Saturday morning and noticed something I hadn't. There had been a pile of lattice and 2x4s in our back yard from the fence we took down in preparation for our new fence. This pile was now replaced by a bare patch of slightly dying grass. Where did said fence materials go? I think it was Leon's guys who were supposed to take the stuff away when they start the new fence. Karen thinks someone came into our back yard and stole it. Either way, it's a little weird. I'm going to talk to Leon soon about his perceived progress and ask if he has been in there to take the stuff away. If he hasn't, there are some pretty ballsy people around here if they walk 50 yards into someone's back yard to take eleven 4'x8' sheets of lattice, which were all still attached to 2x4s and nails and whatnot. It was no simple or quick task to take these things, either...because the way our cars are parked, you can't get a truck anywhere close to them. Anyway...

We also planted blueberry bushes over the weekend. I'm not expecting much, if anything, from them this year, because they're still very small. Maybe next year we'll start seeing some berries from them. That would be delicious. Until they're ready, we'll be heading into Bear Meadows around July for wild blueberries, and to Jackson Trail around the same time for blackberries. Also delicious. So if anyone wants to come berry picking with us this summer, let us know!

I guess that's about it for now. Tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary, but we're still not exactly sure what we're doing for it yet. Hopefully whatever it is will involve leaving work early and going somewhere nice to enjoy each others' company. I'll probably post something g-rated about our anniversary date later in the week. :-)

Weekend!

My weekend was fun!! There were a few scary parts, but mostly fun!


First on Friday we went to find a cache, but my daddy is REALLY GOOD at finding them so he found it fast. It was really windy but we decided to play in the park!! I walked past a sign that said "No Dogs" and marched up these stairs. Then I sat and looked down and there was this weird thing that looked like it should have been stairs, but there were no stairs. Then my daddy picked me up and we went DOWN! It was scary! But it was kind of fun! Look at how cute I am!!!!!! Then we left because it was cold. That was Friday.








WOOSH now it's Sunday and here I am being really cute! We went to another park! I walked up these stairs again, really happy because I LOVE WALKS. But just wait, here comes a scary part.
SOMETHING HAPPENED! I got on top of the stairs and I looked down this green tube and I saw my mommy but I was scared! I started slipping! I tried to grab on to the walls of the tube, but I couldn't! There wasn't anything to hold on to! But then as quickly as it happened, I was safely outside again.










I was NOT happy. My daddy felt bad so he
decided to swing with me. I don't mind swinging. But I like WALKING better!!


























I'm so cute!!!!

Sweet Justice

Last night he was laughing really hard! Jeffrey rolled over last night in bed and it made the dog fall off! Bob always falls off the bed and sometimes he can't get back on. So it was funny to see someone else "take the fall." HAHAHA


hahahahaha

New Calendar Application

Hello everyone who pays attention.

As some of you know, I've been tinkering around with calendar applications on our website to find one that will actually work without giving me a migraine.

I just ran across another one, but before I put it into the website, I'd like everyone to look at it and give me some feedback. Just check out the new calendar page that is temporarily set up.
