Our Saturday Project!








When we bought our house it literally came with two ugly cacti and some rocks. We have spent a lot of time in our back yard recently. We planted some grass and are anxiously awaiting its arrival. Which got hindered because of the cold, rainy weather that we had last week. So this Saturday we decided to work on our front yard. We decided to take out the rock next to our garage and the area in front of the den. That took us about 1.5 hours just to move all the rock. We replaced it with five rose bushes, and a mixture of calla lilies, orange regular lilies, gerbera daisies,pansies, petunias , dianthus, and a few other flowers I can't remember the names of. So here are the before and after pictures of our work! I can't wait for it to fill in and look better. We had to put in 4 giant bags of potting/garden soil and 8 bags of cedar chips! Serisously, this took forever but it looks nice. We also got some nice potted plants for each side of the garage.

Our Sunday Visitors!




Alright, I think we all know that I HATE Hate Hate bugs and anything creepy, crawling and discusting. It starts with one night our Mags finding a SCORPION, Yes< you heard me correctly a scorpion in our kitchen. I realized yet again that I HATE these creatures. So today when I got home from church I am sitting outside and I hear this GIANT bug buzzin by head. Well, let me tell you it IS GIANT! Who knew that there was a little flying bug called a Tarantula Hawk! It EATS them. Its sting is like the most powerful and painful. YEAH!!!! Do you know how fast I ran in this house! The next thing that we saw today was a GIANT LIZARD....I also hate lizards! Thing was huge and gross with a blue throat.

House decorating here we come!






Eric is spraying and working on the landscaping in our yard. We have now planted a rose bush and tore out all the ugly cacti! I hate that landscaping! So I will send pictures when we get the grass in the back planted. Maggie also loves her spot on the couch! She sleeps there for hours.OH I forgot to say that all these pictures were taken with my NEW AWESOME camera! My use to be white magnet board is now red!

Random things!



This is one of the walls leading into the kitchen. That board use to be white but I painted it and now its red and distressed! I'm so proud! I also FINALLY found a bedspread and sheets I like that FIT our giant size bed! It looks really nice!
