Someone left about 17 BIG solid doors in the corn crib (yes I counted) and so Brent turned those into his work bench. I don't have a picture of those but it actually turned out pretty great.
One afternoon I heard some loud noises coming from the "shop" area and went and checked it out. Brent decided he wanted to knock out the walls on one side of the corn crib and move to the other wall.
This is the remains of some of the stuff Brent knocked out
This is Brent knocking down the walls. During this he came across some old oats..smells like old livestock in there now but he doesn't mind. I don't go in there very often so I guess I don't care either.
I decided I would try to get a cute picture of Wrigley and I. He would look at the camera just until I was about to take it and then he would sniff my face. Ugh!
This is as good of a picture I got of the two of us while waiting for Brent to finish up so we could go on the 4-wheeler.
We live right by the river. I think its the Nishnabotna River so we rode the 4 wheeler down to the river and around the ground my father in law farms.
I took a few pictures of our ride on the 4-wheeler. Brent drives a little faster that I approve of while I'm on the back. At one point I told him to SLOW down and we were only going 35. He informed me that is slow and he usually goes around 50-55mph. NO, that is not ok!
We enjoyed the warm weather we had while it lasted. We did lots of yard work. Note to self...teach your dog to do his business FAR away from the house. I'm sick of picking up after him. We also had to pick up sticks. We have a lot of old oak trees and they loose a lot of their branches when it gets windy.
Brent bought a bunch of mulch so we'll be putting more mulch down if it would ever warm up again. We put down black paper and new mulch last year but Wrigley thought the black paper was a toy and tore it up in random places so we decided to just pull it all out and fight the weeds until Wrigley realizes its NOT a toy!
Speaking of Wrigley- He will be 1 tomorrow! I can't believe he is already a year old! I plan on having some cake for him and of course I got him a birthday hat. I'll try to get pictures of that tomorrow afternoon.
We're heading to Norwalk this afternoon. We're having Easter with the Rosien side this evening (Saturday), Sunday after church we're having Easter with the Bolsem side, and then Sunday evening we'll head over to my in-laws for Easter supper with the Schumachers that are in the area.
We have a lot packed into one weekend but I am excited to see my family!
Last night we went to Brent's grandpa's house for pizza. Lee (Brent's grandpa) turns 81 today!! So we all got together and had a great time. It was a full house I think there was well over 20 of us. It was great to be with the Manz side of the family for the evening.
I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
