Done and Done
This weekend has been very busy for us. We completed several projects on our "to-do" list, well really it is a "Trish's nesting list." We completed the baby Witkop's nursery and made some curtains with the help of Tom's mom, Deb. This weekend was a weekend of firsts for us as well, Tom's first experience with a Miter saw and putting up a chair rail, and my first experience with a sewing machine and I made some curtains for our bedroom. Tom did amazing at the chair rail and it looks amazing, I'm thinking of hiring him out so if you need any help with home improvement projects let me know. The curtains that I made turned out great too, Deb will tell you that I made the majority of them, but she really guided me step by step. Thanks for all our help this weekend Mama Witkop!!
I have attached pictures of both projects. Enjoy!!

Planting new life
Today we planted a some new life... I know, I know that was taken care of months ago :) But today we planted our garden with the help of our visiting expert, Tom's mom, Deb. I know some of you are thinking, wow June 3rd- thats a little late to plant a garden isn't it?!? Well we live in Wyoming, so it just stopped frosting last week, this was the weekend to do it.
We planted corn, yams, green pepper, and lettuce. I have attached some pictures of us in the garden. My role was mostly supervising, seeing how it hurts to be in certain positions that are required for gardening. But our favorite picture is of us in the garden with my blossoming belly!

You had to know that today would result in at least one water fight. Here is the one that I caught on video!
