This morning Joe, Rebecca, and Savannah have been hard at work laying new grass seed in half of the backyard. We have been in our house for four years and still do not have grass. We have tried a number of times and we even laid sod once but that did not even work.
Come to think of it the only times we have been successful with grass is when we have moved. No I am not planning on moving any time soon. It would just be so nice to look outside and see something more then dirt.
Here is to hoping that it will work this time. I realized that the whole watering thing is up to me. I think I can do it. We will see.

Update and Easter
So Joe pointed out to me that is has been a long time since I have posted anything here. I did not realize just how long it has been. I guess there has not been anything too exciting to share in our little lives.
I have been dealing with the fun of being pregnant for almost 14 weeks now. On top of that I have been battling a head cold (congestion) for over a week now. These two together have made me pretty miserable and tired, but I have a hard time sleeping. I am grateful that Kiley still takes a nap everyday so I can try and get a little more sleep everyday.
Joe just had his 33rd birthday and is feeling old. He is stilling working at USAA but really would like to get back into the education world. He is a few months away from completing his Master's Degree in Education Leadership (was Education Administration but without the school connection he was not able to do the internship required for that degree). He is thinking that he might continue with the schooling and get a History Master's Degree and try to teach at the Community College Level.
The kids are all doing well and continue to grow like the little weeds that they are. I counted yesterday and there are less then 6 weeks of school left this year. What am I going to do? The kids (school age) just had their field days at school and they all had lots of fun. Rebecca came in third out of seven girls in the 800 m run. She really likes to run and wishes she could be faster but doesn't like to practice because nobody will run with her.
As for Easter, we had dinner with my family. The annual McKnight Easter Party got rained out this year. The kids were very disappointed. Below are the Easter Pictures I took. They did not turn out as good as I had hoped. I need to learn how to take better pictures.
