Oh the joy's of gardening....

Today i went to M&M nursery and bought some beautiful flowers to plant in our front yard.

Exhibit "A"





While i was minding my business and working away beautifying our yard i came across an intruder.....
Exhibit "B"


I swear he is looking right at me. How many eyes do these guys have anyway? SICK!


SO after i freaked out because i realized that i had been standing centimeters away from this thing i decided to go over and rake the leaves out of the dirt and start planting the flowers i bought. While i was picking up the pile of leaves i came across Exhibit "C"...

Exhibit "C"


As of this moment the front yard has flowers (unplanted), a rake, other various gardening tools, my gloves and a pile of leaves waiting patiently for Brad to come home and "be the man".

Sorry for that last picture mom.

p.s. i did go out and spray a can of bug killer on this thing before i ran in screaming...

Rancho Santa Margarita - 5K

Brad and Stephanie are awesome. enough said....

Brad's game face...


The end.... What no hug?

What's been happening at our house?

Good question....

Here are some things that have happened in the past few months.

We had a pool party with all of the cousins. So much fun. Daniel taught Audrey how to pool surf and flipped more than just burgers.



We FINALLY decided to get started on our flooring. Thanks Dad and Mom.... Here is a picture mid installation. We are smart enough to know that we needed to pay someone to install. I have been lazy and have not yet taken a pic of the floors since they have been completed. I keep saying that i will once the walls are painted and the floor boards are installed. Look for this picture sometime in the next millennium...



Summer was ending so we went to Palm Desert for a weekend and had loads of fun. While at the pool Brad pointed out Dr. Rey from Dr. 90210 and his wife with their kids. Dr. Rey even said "hi" to me - either he was being nice or trying to break the ice and talk to me about all of the procedures i need done.... Hmm you decide.....

Here are Brad and Nathan at the awesome pool at the resort.





Can't go to Palm Springs and just drive past the Dinosaurs - must go and see them up close - notice how close we actually got. While inside the head/mouth of the T-Rex we discussed the fact that there was NO WAY PeeWee Herman got a full couch up in that thing to lounge around and watch a movie (or whatever it was they did in that movie)





Nathan started 3rd grade... Seriously no way! How did he get so old because i certainly haven't aged!

Here he is on the first day of school.
