Dear Aunt Sylvia

(for those of you who don't know, my Aunt Sylvia owns a gardening business)

Dear Aunt Sylvia--
I have voluntarily signed you up for andi's yard advice committee.
here is the first problem:

after i picked all the dandilionsi found that my yard is balding. (it is doing this in a couple spots)
any suggestions?

i went home this past weekend. going home is the best vacation for me. here are a couple pics.

ezra is SPOILED. not only does he get showered with attention BUT my dad decided to really spoil him and brought ez some bones back from the pasture. unfortunately he thinks they are house worthy.my parents' cats have also adopted a new transportation system on the farm. it's called I-kitty-5. they have made their own trails on the yard.
yes, you probably think this is a RIDICULOUS concept.... but they actually use it!

new phone

this may look like dallas is listening to some great tunes, but, 3 weeks ago he lost his phone and refuses to get a new one. since he hasn't found it yet he found some app for the itouch to convert his touch to a phone via voiceover.
he has the best of both worlds: can call out, get nothing in.

i think sometimes dallas secretly wonders why some studying days are more productive than others. well, dallas, today happens to be a less productive day due to.....

what is that ezra?
you want a sandwich too?

yesterday i had to go buy some batteries.
i couldn't believe that my choices were:

4 for $3.99
10 for $11.50
OR
8 for $6.50

somehow that just doesn't make sense

it's supposed to snow for the next 24 hrs, so i feel very good about working on my report since no one else gets to ride either and i'm not missing out. :) today is catch up from the week around here....

remember barballs? i forgot to blog this earlier. this is 10 min after we brought it home
this is for my mom--- everyone wants love and william is no exception. several time a day, actually, he comes and jumps on my lap while studying
it takes a lot of work to get dallas out of the house in the mornings. i really "love" the days that i turn around after the door shuts and find a secretly placed lovely little present from his office on the counter......uhm dishwasher is on the other side of the sink!
ez has a little friend visiting for 4 days. campi is a good boy though and fun to have around!
one day i said i had to go pick up some stuff at the grocery store, chocolate chips being one of my items to buy. dallas quickly pipes in that he likes the ones in the brown bag more and i should buy them more often. hmm....wonder why? maybe because it tasts like a candy bar? (dallas is becoming quite the chocolo-holic)

dallas has lost his phone and so for the 2nd time in 3 years he has emailed in "sick" to work. he could have very well been sick but i wans't around to witness it. if you're looking for some nerd reading material check out his blog..... if yo'ure into cars and understand that type of thing.

busy week! sorry! here are a couple of pics....

william has claimed his own incognito spot in the front yard but once the sun goes down the fun is over (mom these are my 3 tulips)
dallas tried getting little blue started up. a new battery and new starter later and we're still trying to figure out the problem. maybe "we" isn't a good word.

ezra shouts out a big easter THANK YOU to a. cindy for the ham bone. it was gone in 25 min

Saturday we had Bobbi's surprise 30th birthday party! i must say it was a pretty good time!
this weekend i got a lot done but not my 4 page single spaced size 12 times new roman chemistry report that is due tomorrow (with citation)...... 11:49 and 2 pages down! William is learning a lot about robotic technology in the OR

if 3's not a crowd than 4 is for sure

somehow dallas sweet talked me into agreeing to buy the jeep he's wanted for the last 10 years. (M38) i have to admit, after it's back to military green and roll cage is off ez and i will look pretty cute driving it :)

so yesterday's blog was a hoax....... the only thing we're really expecting is a bunch of non spring weather for the weekend

ez has been extra good lately so he got to go to the toy store. anyone know where the gym is? ez has started lifting his barballs.

there's a reason i've been super tired lately.......
yesterday dallas and i went to the doctor and found we are expecting in november! although we wern't planning for it it's pretty exciting!
