Never a dull moment

One thing is for sure there is never a dull moment at the Alderman household. On Sunday, May 2nd it rained all day and all night, which then resulted into our road flooding on both sides of our house leaving us somewhat stranded. On Monday morning Ryan was able to haul all of us out but was unable to get us home that evening. After work Ryan walked to our house from Cory Parson's to get the 4-wheeler and then hauled Kade and I home. From that evening on we have been loading up on the 4-wheeler every morning and evening since we only have one car out of the flood. I have been riding with a friend to work (thank goodness someone else works in Athens). To top everything off every evening I come home to find a new disaster the dog has created. Day 1, bag of 40lb potting soil all over my car port, Day 2 good to go, he was a good dog. Day 3, Troy dug up the flowers I just planted on Sunday in whiskey barrell. Day 4 he gets into the trash that the trash truck is unable to pick up and it is all over the yard. Now on Day 4 Troy is no where to be found after his latest disaster, later I find him sitting in the back yard like this....

Day 5, which is tomorrow I will move my car for the first time this week and I hope and pray I come home to no Troy disasters.

Hello Sunshine!


Today the high is to reach 70 degrees. I love it. The college campus is alive with chatter and laugher and it gets me excited for spring and summer. Oh how I have missed college life and the joy it brings. Since we have had better weather the last few days Ryan and Kade took on some outdoor projects. On Saturday they began redoing one of my flower beds and then started building a Tree House.




Kade is so excited about his tree house and he has really enjoyed helping his daddy build it. Ryan of course designed the tree house and lets just say momma cannot be gaining any weight or she will not fit through the hole to get in to it! I agree with Rodney, it is a very small hole! I am so excited about my new flower bed. Now I just have to decide what to plant in it. I am also excited to try out my new outdoor furniture. For my birthday Ryan bought me a glider and table and then my in-laws bought me another table to make it look more balanced. Thanks Kathy and Rodney, I love it!

My little man turns 5 next week. It is hard to believe 5 years have all ready past. Today I am signing him up for T-Ball and next month he will register for school. WOW!
I will close with a few pictures.
