March 2020. Danny's Birthday, Jamir's work training in Roseburg, Deck progress

Danny loves Smokey too much

Look I stuck a penny to my lip

I eventually put the oak tree here

Grandma's peonies

Almost finished

Can never have enough daffodils

They usually are friends. for which I'm grateful

Star magnolia puts on a beautiful show each year

View from hotel. It was nice it had a balcony

hotels are so fun

we went to a new park every day

Ben made a friend with a little girl who didn't speak English. Not sure what language she spoke.

Hotels are the best.

at a drive in diner

hot tub every day

this park had a field of these pretty white flowers

naps in the carseat every day

popcorn in bed!

they slept like this...

frootloops. Also, I remember hearing about how sever the corona virus was getting on the hotel lobby TV while we ate breakfast.

Got a new coat at JC penny on sale.

wildlife safari. Was really cool! lots of animals and the boys loved riding without seatbelts

of course snacks are the best

the tree of life. With all the blooms and solar lights it looked so.

yard progress.

very good helper

Smokey must have been very comfortable to stay around 

Setting the posts. very exciting

this beautiful plum tree

so messy. So glad it's done now.

boys room with new windows and crib gone

Danny is the animal kid

small start to a wood pile. We have burned through that quick

have to take their clothes off when there's a mud hole

orange tree came in mail for my bday

The house looks happy now.

angel food cake for Danny's bday

tomato starts. I thought it would be too late, but they did great nonetheless

trying to imagine the deck

He was mad because he couldn't get his hand out and a cookie. Monkey trap

Autumnal cherry tree in bloom. Can't wait until it gets big and we can see it while sitting on the deck.

this was tricky and heavy. glad it's over. Jamir and I lifted it around the yard to the side where it now covers the bikes and tools

last year's strawberries

finished room! still no baseboards though

avocado tree blossoms. Maybe this year (2021) we will have fruit.
