Hooray For Four!!

We just got done celebrating Tyson's 4th birthday. The day started off with Tyson's choice of SAUSAGE and biscuits for breakfast (I think he would have been fine with just sausage, but we told him he had to pick something else with it). For lunch he picked chicken nuggets and for dinner we had lasagna with garlic bread (excellent choice). For presents he mostly got Playmobile stuff and he also got a new book. He chose Frankenstein cupcakes for desert. He was very generous in sharing his new toys with his brothers and sister.

Piling On the Wagon

Well, after finding out that a lot of our friends and family members have blogs I decided it was time to jump on (more like pile on) the wagon. I make no promises as to how frequently this blog will get updated so we'll see how this goes. To get things started, I guess I'll report on our Stake Conference from this weekend. As you can imagine, a lot of the messages centered around finance and self-reliance. We had already begun making plans for making our garden more productive and hopefully we can get that done for the Spring. We've had some pretty good success with our garden boxes but we definitely need to do a better job of planning and then maintaining it throughout the growing season(s). We'll try and keep a log of how everything is going and share some of our successes and not-so-successes. Today is Tyson's b-day so we should have some pictures to post later on.
