YARD WORK AT DAVID'S AND A WEEKEND IN SACRAMENTO

Where does the time go? I can't believe it has been over 2 months since I added a post to this blog. I pay much more attention to my FACEBOOK page, so if you are at all interested in visiting my page, look me up there as "Janice Johnson Doriguzzi".

We have been busy, as is everyone else, I'd guess! Wish I would have had my camera the weekend before last, as we were at David's trying to help him get trenches and ditches dug in order to lay sprinklers and get his front yard seeded. Mike and David worked really hard digging, and Brody and I took out what seemed like TONS of rocks that were left from the demolition of the old house, and construction of the new house. We were all pretty tired by the end of the weekend, and there is still a lot of work to do. David was happy with the progress though, and that is what counts. It was a lot of fun to see Brody and Rhys, they are always so happy to see us. Brody's bedtime prayers are so adorable, he starts out by thanking God for all the things in his room, "Thank you God for the light, the door, the fan...etc." Then he picks a person (or five) in his life, and prays for them, too. I love it!

This past weekend, we drove up to Sacramento to see Lisa, Charles and the kids. We spent the day at the mall, took Faith to see the new 3D movie "Monsters VS Aliens" (which I slept through) and also visited "Old Town Sacramento", where we saw the capital building.At Land Park, we visited Fairy Tale Town and the Zoo. Here is a picture of Faith and Jack at Fairy Tale Town posing with Humpty Dumpty.In this photo, they are posing as a kangaroo and her baby at the zoo:
At home, we colored Easter eggs a little early:We played in the backyard:Faith and Grandpa cuddled on the couch while watching cartoons one morning:Jack and I decided we should have a picture together with our jammies and "bedhead":One day, we took a walk on the trail that is behind Lisa's house, and enjoyed stopping at the Ingram Slough. There is a lot of water fowl livng there -- cranes, geese, and all kids of other birds. We also saw some muskrats swimming nearby, and looked at their lodge homes. It was a nice weekend, but it is always hard to leave. Faith tearfully said, "Grandma, I don't want you to go home", and Jack (who was napping when we left), walked through the house calling for his grandpa when he woke up. "Mike! Mike! Oh no! Mike all gone!" We are not sure why he started calling his Grandpa "Mike" all of a sudden, but it is pretty cute! Hope we can see them again soon.
