Projects COMPLETE!!

The Before

In the Summer of 2008 we began to redo the outside of the house. It first started with tearing out the front OVER grown bushes, then the side bushes, back bushes and ended up tearing out the landscape all around the house!! Last summer my Mom and I painted all but the North side of the house, got close to fall and I was pregnant. We painted the cider siding, windows and shutters. I also redid the back landscape. This summer we got a new roof, and Mom and I did the front landscape. Dave said he would complete the painting (he HATES painting) this was his gift of love to me!!! So he has a very small portions of the back garage left but we are very close and ready to move on to the next "to-do list" projects maybe next spring we will start something new!! haha! Isn't there always something to do!

The After

Love our front yard, this is only half of it!!

A Few First!

Where did summer go???? We have been very busy the past month with just a lot of random things. These are just a few pics of some first's for both kids. Bo had his first smore! He wasn't so sure about it, and didn't like the sticky marshmellow on his face! I think he only ate about half of it. Hope he starts to like them, they sure are good this time of year!! For Gracie, this was the first time I put her in her Bumboo and she loved it, sat there for about 20 minutes playing with her little gym set! Her neck is very strong and she is always trying to sit up to see everything! Although she doesn't like to be on her tummy! This is a good solution to that problem.
