I had a big presentation due at work today so I’ve been pretty busy the past few days and let my posting slack off. Fortunately, Nancy is getting the hang of blogging and has picked up the slack. My sister likes to send out the email questionairre spam things to all her [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

 
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 [...]

The landscapers put the weed barrier down in the flowerbeds today and started on the flagstone paths and patio. .

Nancy was excited when the truck pulled up with the stone.
A few weeks ago we went down to American Stone and picked out the kind we liked – an Idaho quartzite called “buckskin” We [...]

Today they hooked up the electricity and water to the waterfall. The pump is nice and quiet – in fact, you can’t hear it at all. It also has a low-water valve that is hooked to the sprinkler system so that the water will automatically refill itself if it gets too low. [...]

The elementary school held it’s PTA Carnival tonight. The girls wanted to go quite badly. I could tell Nancy didn’t want to take them so she ask me to take them and she went with Samuel to his final T-ball game of the season. The carnival was your typical PTA fundraiser [...]

Even though it threatened rain throughout the day the landscapers worked hard and got a few more things done today.  They first had to change a tire on the bobcat because it was flat.  After that was fixed they started work on our waterfall in the backyard.

 
I was playing with Thomas the Train with Diana [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
