30 minute sand box!!!

We are trying to do a little landscaping on our land and it is sooooooooo HARD with Emi. She always wants to be right under my feet. So on Saturday my wonderful hubby was helping me in the yard and finally agreed that Emi is a pain.....

I have been hinting around about a sand box.. Brian always rolls his eyes.. :) But he said he thought it would be good idea to distract her...(Glad he thought of it!!!) ugh.....

So thanks to the fact that my hubby is handy and has access to heavy equipment,(thanks Mom and Dad Call) and we have some pretty good connections at the local lumber yard.HA HA HA! We went to get the stuff we needed and literally 30 minutes later......TAAAHH DAHHHHH!!! a sand box....

The irony in all this is that the last sand box we had I did by myself. It took about 3 weeks. I had to hand shovel all the sand and move all the Rail Road ties by myself. this time Brian just sort of threw everything around and BAMMMM it was done!!! I love me a good strong man!!! ;p

Parks playing dead!! Kenna and Parker like this almost more than Emi!!!

Kenna stabbing Parker in the foot!!! Needless to say the best money we have spent in a long time!! So far 3 days of fun, fun, fun!!!!

I think his tractor is SEXY!!!!

Ask and ye shall receive!!! We are now officially Red-necked farmers!!!And the proud owners of a John Deere tractor!!

we have 10+ acres to take care of and I am soooooo thankful that Brian doesn't think I should do it all by myself with the 4 wheeler!!! lol!

Brian searched and searched for months. He finally found this little gem. I LOVE it!! Sooooo much fun to use. So now needless to say we are landscaping up a storm and of course working on the motocross track.

Brian's new girly friend... She is HOT!!!!

Future site of Bubbas motocross track. You cant tell very well but he has been scraping and leveling and de-rocking it already. Very exciting. We love our place.

This is my project. We are placing rocks across the front of our property, like a wall, 1- because it is too steep for a mower. And 2- not only do we grow grasshoppers but we grow ROCKS!!! so it is free materials!! I like FREE!!

In my hurry to get things started I decided to smash my birdie finger between two boulders!! I didn't even swear. Thank you very much. But I see my hand and think my fingers are dirty because they are VERY purple now!!! Did I mention I have my own accident policy??? :P

Dani's first 5K !!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!!!!

That's right I ran my first ever 5K. It was sooooo fun. I ran the whole way NO STOPS for this girl!!! I did it in 36 minutes and 18 seconds. I was the last in our group to come in. But I was not the last in the race by any means!! I just wanted to finish it, I didn't care about the time so much. And I haven't been running for a very long time. It was a GREAT day! Mom and dad were even in town for the race. That was cool for me because I remember going to my dads races alot when I was little. Now I just need to work on lengthening my stride!!!

The crew : Tye, Alana, Me, and Erin, We have been getting up and running every morning at 6 am. This is a great group of girls. Tye pushes me. Erin inspires me. And Alana is where I want to be. They are all AMAZING people!!!

Me at the finish line!! WHOOO HOOO!!

The best part was that my super HOT hubby showed up on his street bike at the end. He has been real supportive of this new hobby and is sooooo GOOD to me!! I am a lucky girl!! (He likes me enough to get off of his tractor to come see me. LOL!!!)

I FEEL GOOD!!!!
