I totally forgot to get the camera out today to get some pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I won’t forget and maybe by then we will have more plants to make the yard look nicer. I took Samuel and Diana to the pool today while the girls were at school. It was nice, we stayed in the… Continue reading More stuff

I can’t believe the month of May is just about over. This year is going by really quick in my opinion. Today was the day we got our grass in and the day that most all the landscaping has been completed. I didn’t charge up the battery on the camera so I didn’t take any… Continue reading Stuff

Landscape Diary

  Today was a busy day. BYUFan and I woke up about 7:30 am and decided to do a little work outside in our garden area of the back yard. We spent the majority of our time spreading the “topsoil” onto our garden area. It was tough work because one, we had to shovel each… Continue reading Landscape Diary

The carnival was your typical PTA fundraiser – inflatable rides, sno-cones,… Continue reading PTA Carnival

New Artwork

We made our second-ever artwork purchase when we decorated our front room (our first was our purchase of some paintings on our trip to China). Nancy and I both really liked this print when we saw it at the furniture gallery. For some reason, the print wasn’t delivered with the furniture but it finally arrived… Continue reading New Artwork

Today the landscapers put the rock wall into place. Our front yard had a bit of a slope in it so we decided to level it off with a rock wall. Some of the houses in our neighborhood have large multi-level rock walls but we didn’t need anything that fancy – just something big enough… Continue reading Landscape Diary
