Thursday almost Friday!

I'm not sure why but it seems like this week is going by very slow. There is a small storm moving through that is supposed to bring some rain tonight and tomorrow but it is supposed to clear out this weekend.
We are getting a small garden area ready to plant. It seems like an endless task getting the rocks cleared out. Luckily most of them can be lifted by hand but there are a few big ones. Steve borrowed an attachment for his tractor yesterday that really turned up the ground so hopefully once we pick up the rock again we won't have to do it again.
Anna and Colton enjoyed spending time outside this week, Colton never used to like it much but now that he can walk it's hard to keep him inside. They always have to go right into the tub because they are filthy from head to toe.
I heard the other day that there was a study done on all the States and Nebraska was ranked number 1 (Oregon was 51:-). We started looking up info on Nebraska and it seems like it would be a cool place to live. We are of course happy in Oregon and our families are here but I think we may take a trip there to check it out further. We have some friends that are from there and they said that it only took a year of living in Oregon to make them want to go back. But now they are stuck because they bought a house and can't get rid of it:-(

Anna and Colton dressed for the outdoors:-) Anna dressed herself and Colton wanted a scarf on like mommy

Steve was playing Basketball with the kids. He just through a tennis Ball for Mo and I thought Mo looked funny in this picture:-)

A few of the Gazillion rocks that we have been piling up
