Hoffman Happenings

Wahoo. I am on a roll. :) SOO this week- was seemingly boring, but looking back at the pictures I took- maybe it wasn't? Its been a fun week! Let's start out with my goals for this last week- well if you remember it was to read the scriptures with my boys every day-- sadly I only did this 2 days this week. SO this will be my goal for this week as well. My second goal was to make my bed every day- I am HAPPY to report that I did much better with this goal. I made the bed 5 out of the 7 days. :) But I want to keep this goal for another week as well. Wish me Luck! :) Carter tarter pants... He has said some pretty funny things this week. First and foremost -- he has started calling me HONEY. It drives me bonkers and he thinks it is hilarious.... Stuart thinks it is funny too... gah. Another thing is when he is playing pretend he refers to himself as Carter Turnbow. So I asked him why he was saying "Turnbow" for his last name and he said so he could be just like Grandm...

SO I have been good at posting the "during" pictures of the backyard project- but most of you don't know what it looked like before.. So here are a few (these are the pictures from when the house was on the market). Looking at these pictures I forgot that we truly had a beautiful forest back there. :) But now that they are gone I can not believe how big of a yard we have! IT IS AWESOME.

Well hello there again. I am making progress with this blogging thing, right?  I am not sure anyone else is really reading these- but I am starting to really enjoy this! This morning when Carter got up he went and looked out the door and said "Apparently its raining outside." I love that he is using words that he hears us say! Which means we have to be careful what we say! He has quite the attitude on him lately. . . Heaven help us. They say at age 4 they are better... how many days till he is 4??? :) This week we decided that he is probably done with naps (saddest day ever for me- thats when I work)- makes for a little bit of a rough (ornery) afternoon, but he is going to bed at a decent hour! Saturday while Decker was napping and Stuart was working on the yard, Cater and I went to my friend Ruths house and we helped her pack. We are going to miss her when she moves! We have loved going on walks with her and her fun dogs- and running errands together! DON'T MOVE RUTH! ...
