Yard Make-over!

So, we just recently did a little make-over on the front yard. Here is the before:

(FYI- House is no longer on the market, this was just the only picture I had of the yard before. We decided to stay here for at least a few more years and I couldn't be happier.)

I always HATED (and that's a strong word) the bushes. It made everything feel so enclosed and 7-8 months out of the year the leaves would become a light green and the whole thing would look dead. So those had to go! And you can't see from this picture but back in the corner behind the bushes in front of the window there was a small spot of grass that did not grow anything but weeds. So we had to do something with that space.

And here are some after shots:

Of course the plants are babies and will grow quite a bit to fill things in a little.

(Notice the Mini in the driveway... can't wait to share my mechanic Tiffani story with you.)

I even have some beautiful roses growing!

It's amazing how much a little change changes everything :) I feel like now the house really reflects "us."

Photo Shoot...

The other day Brinn wanted to take some pictures with my camera. For about 20 min. we enjoyed our time snapping away. and some good mother daughter time.


She even posed me...

... but only because I posed her first. Kids learn so quickly. :)

Sleeping Baby

For memories... because my little baby is turning to quickly into a little kid.

Makes me happy...

You know how sometimes you can just look at something and it makes you happy? Well, that's what this new sign on my front door does for me. The other day I even asked David to just drive by the house (not pull in the driveway, but to do a drive-by instead)so I could admire the sign. He wouldn't so I did one on foot anyways. Then my sis-in-law called me "Boyd Jr." (my father) and I realized it was true. I totally sounded like my dad in that moment. Well, anyways... that's a story for another day. Now you know what makes me happy... What makes you happy?


And stay tuned for some pictures to come of our front yard make-over!

So Cute!!!

Lovin me some Brinny Boo!

Say Cheese!!!

A couple weeks ago we went to a pizza place where they have games (much like Chuckie Cheese.) Anywho, got a picture of me and the kids done in a little photo booth. Turned out cute!

Most the time these kids are driving me CRAZY... lucky for them I also happen to be MADLY in love with them!!!

Easter

Here are some pics from Easter. Did not get any cute pics of them all together in Easter church clothes. (Bummer) I tried... I did. The second I would set Owen in between the other two he would start crawling away (FRUSTRATION!!!)Not to mention that we were already running late so I bagged the whole idea. But needless to say they all looked cute and adorable (as they do every day.)

Checkin the loot...

Easter Prep...

Makin cookies... eatin frosting.




Even Owen got in on the action... the eatin part anyways.

And of course what would be an Easter without dying eggs...
We got a little help from Ariana.

The final step... with help from Dad.
