Happy seventh wedding anniversary

Landscaping Project...The Results

So, we finished our landscaping project in three days and lets just say we were feeling it by the end of the third day. Well, I was feeling it at the end of the first day!

Organizing all the plants

Our front porch...does it looking inviting?!?!?

Lots of planting

A couple of my favorites are here!

We have had pretty good luck with all the plants so far. Surprisingly only one has died.

Bright Idea

This is what my husband calls my wonderful ideas to beautify our home. Sure he says this with a sarcastic under tone :) He claims to think I have NO clue "how much work it will really be." And I hate to say it but must of the time he is right..I don't have a clue! Thank goodness we were able to use his dad's equipment because me on the other end of a shovel would not have lasted very long.

Yes, we torn up our sod...the part of our yard that were already done

We had a BIG helper

Taking a ride with Daddy

I still can't believe how much work we did in only three days!

We used 152 stone blocks..I bought the store out

Oh, and I did do some of the work...so, much so that when I ventured to Wal-Mart two people did not recognize me! I will post the finished project tomorrow :)

Flashback Friday

This is my last belly shot before Miss Lydia joined our family. We had a scheduled c-section so the morning we had her was very calm and relaxing. We didn't have to be in Wichita until 9 am...so, we actually got to sleep in. I do remember how excited I was. We didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl! The only thing I knew was I was pretty BIG!

I loved every minute of it. Lydia was born November 16, 2007 @ 11.32 am weighing 9 lbs. 2 ozs. and 19 1/2 inches. However, we aren't sure the measurments were right..you see the following Tuesday when we went to the doctors she was measuring almost 22 inches. I don't think they gave her a good stretch :)

Wordless Wednesday

Fresh Produce

After living in our house for three years we decided it was time for a vegetable garden. I love growing flowers but don't know the first thing about planting a veggie garden. With some guidance from Kane's parents we set off to grow some food. When we planted our garden I don't know how many times I said "we don't know what the H we are doing."

Most of the plants did come up. However, the deer have eaten most of our beans and some of our tomatoes :( Sunday Kane picked lots of squash, zucchini, and some cucumbers. They were all amazing...yummy!

Our first picking of the year

Happy Birthday Jon!

Happy 31st birthday Jon! I hope that you have a great day! Jon and Kane have been friends since childhood. I believe Kane, Kye and Jon had some sort of baseball card business...I have ALL the proof in my basement! I think they even had business cards made. I too, have know Jon for a long time..I have vivid memories of riding the bus together to Country View.

There is never a dull moment with Jon---Thanks for all the good times and to the many more to come :)

Happy Birthday!!

Jon and his friend Alf in Aggieville on Halloween of course
