Dirt

May 7th 2010

Well we had a lot of cold weather this winter and it killed a lot of our plants. It looks like we will be planting a lot this spring and summer. We lost the overgrown palm in the from of our yard, I'm not that sad to see it go as it was kinda an eye sore. We don't have the best curb appeal but we are working on it one year at a time. So out with the old dead palm and in with the Dirt!

Before

Fred scoped it up like it was nothing

What a huge hole it left


The Dirt!

Smoothing the dirt out getting it ready for grass seed

Wow the yard looks better already and much larger now that that thing is gone


The horse area is now all smooth as well


Another view of all the hard work for the day.

Three Weeks Old this week

May 4th 2010
Now that Todd is back to work I haven't had much time to even think about Blog updates. I just snap pictures of her at her cutest moments and here are some of her this week.
Enjoy!

Yesterday I had a Mothers day event at the birth center this is my first time out with her alone. I was worried that she was not old enough to go but what the heck, I needed to get out of the house and hang with other mothers. I also had a complementary massage appointment from my birth center. I was to use at my 36 week visit but waited till after the baby. I stayed for lunch and the facials. It was fun watching everyone tying to do there own facials and keep there little ones occupied and out of trouble. Chloe got a little fussy so Kayleen took her for a bit put her right to sleep and then showed me how to use my Moby wrap to keep her comfy while she slept and I got to concentrate on the facial.

A few pictures of her the last time she was this sweet and quiet the next day would be the worst and for a few weeks she was hard to deal with. Trying to take care of the critters was out of the question. I had to hand that off to Todd for a while as she just keeps crying. Just when I thought this was getting easy she threw me for a loop.

We Have Water!

April 24th 2010

Ok I forgot to post this one but we finally got water ran to the barn. No more hoses in the yard to have to avoid. Woo Hooo. This is also the day Chloes umbilical cord fell off yeah she can have a bath now.

Across the yard


Down the fence


Under the fence, we ran it with copper and covered it with pvc.


And to the barn


Welding the faucets on


Now we have water for the horses and one for washing the horses that is a bit shorter.


The one by the house that the water was t'd off of got a new Faucet and a house hang out.


We also did the one by the pool pump, it leaked, and why not do the rest of them on the house so everything is now in working order. Just in time to run hoses to water the yard when it comes time to seed.
