Building a Patio Cover!

We're Building a patio cover! Jonathan is doing most of the work but you can see that Isaac and Allie are great helpers! And I have helped with the staining! Jonathan dug 3ft deep holes. Then made 400 lb cement cylinders and then put the posts up and support beams and dragon joists. (a funny name we call the braces). He has been working so hard day and night. I wake up to him working on the patio and sometimes go to sleep to him working on it. And he spent his whole day off working on it too. He's so wonderful! He plans on making it really cool looking. Thank you Jonathan!
OH ya, and the onions are just growing in a patch in our yard! I feel like a gardener!

Happy Easter

Messes!

With Jonathan working on the Patio the kids have been inside and they are making lots of messes. Allie reached up and stole Isaacs sandwhich he was eating in his high chair. He was soooo mad. It was halarious. She found his yogurt and dumped it. Isaac loves putting stuff in the toilet. They have each taken a turn playing in the fireplace ashes. Allie can now pull herself up onto furniture so she pulled herself up on the fireplace ledge and started playing in the ashes! She's getting to old!!! She took her first step! My little baby! She mostly crawls but she likes to practice along things. Isaac can talk pretty well. He climbed up on the changing table while i wasn't around and I heard him yelling, "help momma! Down! Mama! Mama! Help! Down!" So cute! He is very well behaves. They now both go to bed by 9 and we have the evening to get things done and relax.
We have had a heep of huge blessings! Our AC went out and Jonathan's Dad's friend who is an AC Repair man fixed it for us. Then our Garbage Disposal went out and Jonathan's dad fixed it for us! Then Isaac threw our TV remote in the kiddie pool and Verizon is replacing it for free! We are so grateful! We got Allie a few dresses at the Dollar store, thats where we got the cute white one is the purple flowers and my dear friend Marta - who is feeling much better! - gave us her daughters old cloths. And gave us her sons old cloths for Isaac. Things are going great at the Ramos'!
