Okay I am way behind in my blog. This was right before Thanksgiving sometime but it was a monuemental event so I have to post this. We couldn't even see our grass when we started. But 21+ bags later we can now see green grass! The kids were amazing! I told then I'd give them .25 cents a bag. These kids cost me $2.50 each...I guess it was cheap labor $7.50 total?
Check out all those bags of leaves
My little Workers
This was the best babysitter ever. While we raked leaves the babies crawled around on the tramp. They loved it!!!
John got smart he started using the leaf blower to blow them in a pile... or just into the horse field?

Hinckley...she still loves that sign..funny huh, have a good day...mindy

sorry for a third comment but i didn't think it posted the first time... how corney am i? anyway they both said basically the same thing just mixed up a bit...whoops so there you go 3 comments from me! do you feel special?
The joy of having trees! Wish we had some. Isn't kid labor the best! Aimee
Where does the time go!?! It may seem weird for you to hear we have 5 kiddos...but I was shocked to hear you have TWO! And they are so adorable! I bet you are the best mom! You were such a great babysitter...even back then you (and especially Marty) seemed so baby hungry! I cant wait to see your little ones!
As for the kids you just take them one at a time (or in our case 2 at a time!) I use to think how will I do 1...then 2...then 3? I am sure you felt the same way...now look at you with two! In a few years when you have 7 kids you will think wow 2 wasn't as hard as I thought it was!
Okay you have an amazing memory (mine is shot) I forgot about teaching you how to do stiches! Well now you know I have more patterns and friends with even more! And did Aimee tell you, that I do vinyl lettering here & there? I thought I'd start a blog with crafty crap!
I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I love checking out your blog! We should get together sometime! Keep in touch~Nic
If between now and when you get you yard put in....if you ever feel the itch to work in a yard...we have a few acres! Those leaves were from the backyard ONLY! That is not including the whole area along the side of our driveway (which is way bigger than most yards) or the FRONT yard (luckily the trees are up by the fence line!!!) Anyway John is excited for Winter! Feel free to come over anytime. In fact were we talking about this SAturday? Lets do it at our place and we will have a yard cleanup...ahhh too bad it is covered in a foot of SNOW!
You drive a hard bargain -$7.50??? That's some expensive labor!!! I can't believe you filled 21 bags! That must have taken hours! The pic of Malia and Carter on the tramp is classic - it looks like they are in jail! Call me one of these days!!!
Okay, this is WAY too random. MINDY ANDERTON is a little sister to one of my bestest friends from college, Tiffany. Nichole--you met my sister, Ali, at Costco on Friday. Ali and Mindy were roommates (randomly) at BYU-Hawaii! And Mindy's uncle was Ali's mission president in Honduras. And now I find out that Mindy babysat your kiddos?!! When the heck was that? When I saw Mindy refer to Marty in comment here, I knew it had to be the same...and I clicked on their blog...and vwa-la! The world is just waaayyyy too small!
Wow it is a small world! She is the cutest thing! You'll have to go to her site and tell her you are stalking her AGAIN!!! How funny!
