$

I've been asked what we decided to do with our tax money since I posted it here.  This is what has happened so far.  Our neighbor found a great computer for a good deal and after having so many problems with the one we have I gave in and bought it.  The one we have really isn't all that bad, but it IS old, too old to have the programs Clint needs for school on it.  I think it's about 10 years old, ancient in tearms of technology.  We bought a Gateway DX4320-17 Desktop PC, AMD Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 945 (3.0GHz), 8GB DDR3 Memory, 1TB HDD, Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Drive, DVD Super Multi-Drive, ATI Radeon HD 5570, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.

We got it last Tuesday and I love it.  It's awesome having something wk so fast and efficient.  However since I'm still changing over files I don't have any pics of anything.  So please be patient with us as we transfer stuff.

The other thing we have purchased is also for Clint, it was a new car.  It's not really new, it's actually really old, but we got it for practically free so we can't complain.  It wks and it'll get Clint from point A to point B efficiently enough.

We are also taking a trip to visit warmer weather in AZ over Kaily's spring break.

Other than those things I don't know that we will be spending any more $ on anything else.  The van needs some wk on it before we go to AZ and we'll save the rest in our emergency fund, unless I get the camera I want.  We'll see though.

Jon and Jason

They were my defenders when I was little; who I LOVED to get into trouble as I grew and who I missed when they were gone.  I am so grateful for these men, my brothers.  I have so many great memories with them.

When I was little I wanted to be just like them.  When I was a teenager I wanted to be anything BUT like them and now that we are parents I am proud that we have similarities and I look up to them.

So happy birthday Jon and Jason.  I wish you many more!  May this year bring you both new adventures and lots of happiness!

Love,
your little sis.

Spring?

As we walk the streets and neighborhoods around here there are these green things starting to pop up everywhere. The days that it's cold outside are starting to lessen and the other day we actually spent 6 hrs straight outside soaking up the sun. I think Spring has FINALLY come!



 This is our Garlic we planted last November, so exciting to see it coming up now.

In our backyard swinging.
