Of course Mom gets to clean out the seeds.

The kids wanted to watch the TV outside, one morning, but it was a little bit chilly out, so they wrapped up.

Finished digging!

Outline being put into place. May 5, 2010

This is the backyard prior to digging the hole.

These are pictures from Parker playing at the Texas Rangers Junior Stadium. His team won. He was so excited because this was the first time he got to wear black eye! We have another game tomorrow night and one on Saturday.

I have no new pictures to post. Parker had a ball game saturday and they lost. This is their first loss. (8-1) I worked all day Saturday at a math competition for the school district and Ernie has been working at a festival that is in town all weekend. We will all be glad when things slow down. On Tuesday Parker's baseball team gets to play at a little league park at the Texas Rangers ball field. I will be sure to take pictures there and post those. We are also supposed to start digging our new pool! I will post those pictures as that progresses too.

We spent most of the day at the ball field for Parker's baseball game. His team is undefeated so far (7-0). He has a great coach and is having a great time. April 24, 2010
