Our Piece of Dirt


This our property in Waddel, AZ. It is about ten minutes west of where we live now. It is 1 1/4 acres, David wants horses and I want room to teach kids to play and work. We are getting plans drawn up and very excited about getting started on building our home. The house we live in now, I bought while I was single. This next house will be one for our family, I am so excited. We got the land a few months ago, we were just waiting for a few things the be taken care of. I know things will go slowly at first, but I look forward to posting what we are working on.

This past weekend was a busy one! I am slow at getting things posted because my Easter gift was a new camera and I did have lots of time to learn how to upload all my many pictures. Here are a few pictures of our family picnic.Alayna and David dyed the eggs on Friday!Alayna liked the egg hunt, but because she saw me putting candy in the eggs, she shook the eggs before putting them in her basket. A few eggs got put back on the ground.
