Birthday Monday - Tuesday!

The last of her b-day pics until her party in June!.... As I said, Allie's birthday goes on and on... and she is just THRILLED about all of the attention! We really are so blessed to have such a GREAT family who love our kids as much as we do.

Two people who are happy to give our kids attention are Jeff's parents! Not only did they come bearing gifts for Allison on Monday, they also came both Monday AND Tuesday to get our yard ready for planting. We are SO grateful and fortunate to have them since they know so much about landscaping and really seem to enjoy it. They have been such an enormous help in the past 7 years of living in this house! Thanks, guys!

Driveway shot... It is FINISHED!!!!!! Woo hoo! We love it... Jeff's folks were a HUGE help in planning it. I had no idea so much went into paving a driveway, so we were lucky to have them here! You can see Jeff's dad & mom waaaaay at the bottom!

Jeff's parents greeting their friends - the topsoil delivery man!

Neither of them need to be convinced too much to take a break a play with their favorite little guy!

"I love her, can I keep her, mommy?"

"See ya, mom, we are goin on an adventure!"

"Are you coming, Grandpa?"

(you can see the great grass they planted before... and the landscaping we need to finish)
