Happy Birthday Sivai, and A New Shed

After our trip to Rexburg Patrick's parents came up to visit and help us (Patrick) build a shed. We are quickly running out of space in our house and with #4 coming in a couple of months (still no name) it's going to be great to have a place to store things. Before they arrived Patrick had poured the cement slab with help from friends and my Dad, so Monday morning they were up early and in two days this is what they accomplished, plus the window and door are in. It was just too dark to take a picture when they stopped working that night about 10pm.

Patrick has been spending his spare time getting it ready to paint, insulate and and finish. It's such a blessing to have the help from both sides of the family and our friends. Since Sunday, Sivai's 7th b-day was spent traveling, we celebrated Monday night with Grandma and Grandpa Dotson. He had a great time and learned to ride his bike within about 5 minutes, now we can't keep him off of it.

I've started some things in the garden, onions, potatoes, peas, and some strawberry plants. I'm trying out a variety of vegetables this summer in small quantities to see that grows well and what I like growing. It's exciting to see them start sprouting, and I hope I'm not creating too much work for myself this summer.
