Weekend Company

We had our first overnight guests this weekend. Jamie, Ricky, Natalie, and Brandon came to visit. Ricky brought his boat and we took it out to Kincaid for the afternoon. We had a blast. After being on the lake, Stephen grilled dinner on the barbeque pit for everyone and we went out on the town. Sunday morning we had blueberry pancakes and strawberries! http://www2.snapfish.com/fbshareredirect/p=120291248895239742/l=3268660009/g=19807217/redirectURL=share/otsi=SALBBL/AlbumID=1620733009/a=19807217_19807217/usercomments=I_xqd%20like%20to%20share%20my%20Snapfish%20photos%20with%20you.%20Once%20you%20have%20checked%20out%20my%20photos%20you%20can%20order%20prints%20and%20upload%20your%20own%20photos%20to%20share./counttext=32%20photos/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish

Privacy by Peanut

Check out our fabulous cedar privacy fence! Stephen did an awesome job. It looks great. Thanks to help from Dad, they got the holes dug with the giant auger (that was a sight...Dad on one side of the auger and Stephen on the other with his feet coming off the ground). They put the posts and runners up, then Stephen started on the cedar pickets. He got most of it finished today. All that is left is our gates.

There will be a bit of a wait until our aluminum fence for the back span of the yard comes in and gets installed. The dogs have to remain inside for now but we are getting so close to having our fenced backyard.

Ghost Plants

So we started a bit of landscaping today. Nanny helped me plant these Ghost Plants in these flower pots that Stephen painted for me. Nanny said that she just can't seem to kill this plant so I thought that it might just be the plant for me. I found out that some call this plant an "Architectural Plant" because it has "good bones". Letting the leaf shape, size, and color be the defining elements. They are still pretty small but they will start to fill out once they grow. I think they look great and I love the color contrast against the black pot!

New Items

We are starting to get things hung up on the walls of the house. We hung up Stephen's guitars and some paintings in the back bedroom.

And we hung this mirror in the front bedroom.

Sydnee and Scout got a new bed too!

Watermelon Cake

Happy Birthday Mrs. Leslie! She wanted watermelon, I wanted to make cake, so I compromised:) http://www2.snapfish.com/fbshareredirect/p=238291248897038409/l=3268665009/g=19807217/redirectURL=share/otsi=SALBBL/AlbumID=1355208009/a=19807217_19807217/usercomments=I_xqd%20like%20to%20share%20my%20Snapfish%20photos%20with%20you.%20Once%20you%20have%20checked%20out%20my%20photos%20you%20can%20order%20prints%20and%20upload%20your%20own%20photos%20to%20share./counttext=5%20photos/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish
