Landscaping and Gardening

Well after many weeks of working at the front landscaping it is finally done. On Saturday my dad's friends Al and Debbie brought me over some beautiful flowers and they help me place them and plant them. Then Dad and I went to Andy T's and bought the bushes that I wanted in with my flowers. On Sunday Dad went and got my mulch for the front and away he went. It was done in no time. Thanks Dad! I also got my garden planted on Sunday. No pictures yet though, not much to see. I planted beans, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, zuchini, watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, and a pumpkin.

It's Done

The swing set is finally done and Talan loves it! Thanks to my Dad who finished the slide on Saturday, we got to enjoy it the rest of the weekend. Talan has decided that he doesn't need any help climbing the ladder up to the club house, which makes me very nervous. He also thinks that he can climb the rock wall by himself "No help me mom, me do it myself" He is Mr. Independent these days.

Here is the finished product, now I just have to buy sand to put in the bottom, to bad it takes 14 bags, wow!

Decks Done and Swing Set is Almost There!

Bird worked hard to get our deck done and boy does it look nice. We still have the scraps to pick up but the deck itself is all done. I can't wait to get some furniture for it and grill out! The swing set is one slide away from being done. Papa came last night and got the swings put on the set. As you can see Talan loves it!!

Projects, Projects, Projects

What a beautiful day it was yesterday so we all spent the afternoon outside. Talan watered the plants, bird worked on the deck, and my dad and cousin Eric started putting together the swing set. We stayed quite busy.

Talan's cousin Perrien came to play, they kept themselves quite busy while Leah and I helped sort the 1 million pieces that came with the swing set, SORRY DAD!Even Shadow was tired by the end of the night, which we all know is almost impossible.

Softball Begins

We started our coed softball team two Sunday's ago. We were pretty shaky the first game and lost, but we got right back out there the next week and won YAY! I think it was the crowd we brought with us.What a great batters stance Talan has, he's a natural.

Swing batter, batter, batter, swing!

Look Mom, Uncle Eric got me some Pop Corn!

Trisha's Wedding Shower

I had Trisha's wedding shower on Sunday. It was Hawiian themed and it was a lot of fun. She had a really great turn out and the decorations were awesome. Here is the Bride to be, isn't she beautiful!

One of the games was to dress someone up as a bride using toliet paper and I got volunteered.

Yeah Swing Set!

I was checking all of the sale adds on Sunday and guess what?, One of the many swing sets I like was on sale! So... I called my Dad bright and early and begged him to go to Toys R Us right when they opened to pick one up for me. THanks Dad, Now we just have to get it put together!!!
