Lazy? Lack of Motivation?

I have come to the realization that I am one of those people that lacks motivation. I get all of these HUGE ideas in my head but instead of doing them I say to myself, "Maybe one day..." But do I ever do them? No.
Well, I have really great examples in my life that I one day hope to be like. 
The first is my Mom and Dad. I kept saying I wanted to put a garden in but did I do anything about it. No. So when they came last weekend, my Dad was out at 7am shoveling my dirt. Him and my Mom bought us stuff we needed to get us started and dug half of it up for us! They are always AMAZING!
The second person I want to be like is my husband, Anthony. He finished what my parents started. Here is our little square foot garden area. I did help plant seeds but he did the rest! 

The week before my parents came, a woman at Ant's work offered us a play toy for free if he came and took it down. So him and his brother (THANK YOU JEFF!) went over and dug this huge toy up. It had vines all over it and is EXTREMELY heavy. It took them 5 hours to get this MONSTER home and poor Anthony came home with hives and scratches all over his arms and legs. Then he made a base for it and somehow put it up all by himself! He is AMAZING!!! 
The Last person I hope to be like someday is my Mother -in- law. She came to visit us this weekend and the big toy that Anthony just put up did not have a top on it. Once again I was saying, "I want to make something for the top." Have I? NO. Well, she came and bought canvas and sewed this GREAT top together for the girls! She is AMAZING too! 
(You can't say my girls have nothing to do! It's like their own park in my backyard!)
I really hope that one day I can get motivated and do amazing things like these wonderful people in my life do. In the meantime, I have been saying that I want to clean up our 4th bedroom, But....

Maybe one day!

Visiting with Granny and Papa

My parents came last Monday and we spent the day at Fort Walla Walla. It was fun walking around looking around at all the different houses and other historical things. The girls had fun with Granny and Papa too of course!

Granny and Tabitha looking at the pretty scenery.

Papa and the girls.

Tabitha is pouting behind the big wheel. She did not want to get her picture taken so there was no getting a smile out of that one!
