They finally dug a hole!

Yes, they finally dug the hole for our house!  More on that in a minute.  But first, here are some pictures of our time spent a Lagoon yesterday.  Nick worked that morning, so I took the kids just after lunch and we played for a few hours.  Preston is exactly 36 inches, so this year he is able to ride a few more rides than he could last year.  Including the lady bug drop and the kid swings.  He loved them all!!!  Before we left to pick up Nick from work, we met up with Grandma Joy so she could take Alivia to build a bear, which is a tradition for grandkids turning 4.  After dropping Alivia off, we picked up Nick and headed up to the lot to see the progress.  We got there just as the excavator was getting ready to leave for the day.  He had another job that needed to be finished up, but he is coming back tomorrow (Monday) to finish it all up.  They should be pouring the footings on Tuesday.  So hopefully when we head back up next weekend we will have a full basement foundation!  

 The kids were a little disappointed that we didn't get to watch them dig, but they still had fun playing in the dirt and seeing what had been done.  We also got to meet the neighbor west of us and visited with the McConkies a bit before grabbing some Arby's and heading to a park for dinner.

 I took this picture from the front room of the house they are building across the street from us.  It is the exact same floor plan as ours, but flipped.

 We went to "Shady Lane" park, which is what we call it because it is hidden in the shade of trees that is almost hidden from the street.  It is one of many parks we have eyed driving around Pleasant View.  It was a fun park and I am sure we will visit it often.

 We had a fun time at church today.  They primary earned their reverence reward of donuts, so we took advantage of the beautiful weather and ate them outside on the lawn in the warm sun.  It was a fun treat!

 Kaylee's class even got to have their class outside today because the weather was so perfect.

 I roped Nick and the rest of the Sunday School presidency into helping pass out the donuts.  They didn't mind since they got one too!

 Alivia's sunbeam class made cute bee hats to talk about how God made all the birds and bees and living things on the earth.  It was cute!  I spent most of the day in meetings but made it home by 4:30 to enjoy some grilled chicken and dutch oven potatoes that Nick made.  We had strawberry shortcake for dessert.  It was another good weekend.
