Well I’m at it again!  I’ve decided to change things up a bit.  I’m now going to posting our pictures to Shutterfly.  It’s just going to be quicker and easier for me.  There is also the added benefit being able to order any of the pictures I post to the Shutterfly site.  All you have to do is create a Shutterfly account if you don’t have one already, (it’s free to join), then become a member of our website on shutterfly and you can order any of the pictures or photo books.  So go check out the pictures at our new picture place:  http://mhrutherford.shutterfly.com

If you create a Shutterfly account, make sure you become a member on our Shutterfly site.  If you become a member you’ll receive emails when I add new pictures.

So I hope you all enjoy the new pictures!

We finally finished our flagstone patio which will be our firepit area.  It was a lot of work but we love it!  We were also able to finally get our camper parked in our backyard.  It took a few hours of work to get it level.  Our entire backyard is on a slope so we had to improvise some “ramps” out of brick pavers to raise the back end of the camper.  Now that the ramps are in place, it should be easy in and easy out whenever we go camping.  It is so nice having it easily accesible and in our yard!

Aren’t they cute!  I caught Wedge and Sammy sitting nicely next to each other on two separate occasions.  I’m surprised Sammy let Wedge get so close.  She must be getting used to him.

Well we had a pretty busy weekend.  We finally prepared a spot in our back yard for our travel trailer.  We built a new gate, and laid down about 5 ton of rock.  We also started preparing what used to be the flower bed for a flagstone patio.  It was lots of work, but we’re ready to finally have our camper in our yard, instead of in a storage lot.  Here are some pictures of the fun and stay tuned to see pictures of our finished patio.  Hopefully we’ll get it finished next weekend!  (Once you click on the thumbnail, you can click on the picture again to see the largest size.)

I can’t believe Grace is already in 2nd grade and Lucas is starting Kindergarden!  Here are a couple of pictures of them on their first day.

Wedge decided he would curl up and fit into Sammy’s pretty pink bed.  What a goofball!

Here are some pictures from Grace’s 7th birthday.  We had an outdoor water party with a pool, slip ‘n slide, and ball pit.  The kids had a blast.
