We had a tree house in our backyard that was there when we moved in two years ago. It stood back there unsafe for the most part as it did not look very sturdy and leaned up next to a tree in the yard. Well we kept it up thinking it would help sell the house, now that we have taken the house off the market for time being, we decided it was time for the tree house to come down as well. I made sure to never let Hollys sisters or neice on the tree house as well. Of course the neighbor kids were harder to control. The last thing we wanted was for someone to fall off it and us get in trouble.

So last night when i got home from work i did some mowing and then took care of our little sore thumb tree house. I took a shovel and put it under one of the legs. Then i gave it a shove and down it went. Suddenly I was very thankful i never let anyone play on it, for it to come down that easy made me glad it was down. OF course it fell so the next step was moving it to the curb. It was full of red ants and spider nests. The whole thing was unsafe and dirty. The neighbors behind us came out and helped us saw everything up and take it to the front. A couple Mormon kids even came by and asked if they could help, of course I was happy to have them move some stuff a little. Very good of them to be helpful, even if they are not on the right path. I pray they will find our Lord though.

Tree house down now we have a much nicer yard to look out at. And it will be better once we put a table out there or something else we can enjoy. Its great to have it down though as we really have not gone out in our yard much with it there. Now if i could just find a fence real cheap we would be all set.

Holly and I went and saw Mama Mia this evening> Great movie. I love being able to go out sometimes and movies are fun even though Avery is just a little too young for the movies just yet. There are plenty more movies out we want to see. But it was a great film, i look forward to Avery seeing it. Anyway I love my wife...

She is growing up so fast, time just slips by without even notice. Our little Avery the sweet and adorable one is always provbing she is a strong little girl. This so she has her blanket she calls mimi' and other toys she wont part with. She just loves those too much. Her routine is set and she enjoys having her mommy and daddy to love on her, along with everyone else. I am so thankful to have our little princess.

Things have been crazy around the Bowlby house these days. We took the house off the market since it is clear we couldnt sell it at this time and really due to other work issues its just not the right time anyway. God made that clear enough. I started my new job at the manufacturing plant Monday. So far its going well. There is a lot to learn but i think i am geting the hang of everything. Now we just need to get back on target. I will get some more time to post later. Between my classes and work though its hard to find any spare time anymore.

In July now and its getting to be even hotter around here. The fourth was good even though i was not able to enjoy it with my girls. They had to go to a family gathering in another town to far for me to join after work. I did however get to go enjoy some fireworks and food at my sister in laws inlaws house, that was a blast (pun intended). Anyway now i just look forward to starting my new job and hoping all works out well. Our house is still on the market and we are praying for it to sell so we can move into the house we want to live in. Its such a nice place. And this neighborhood and our neighbors are something to get away from. Well not all of them, but just enough. Meanwhile I look forward to seeing what is ahead. For me now its just taking one step at a time, with school a new job and hopefully a new house soon.
