Completed Deck

A few "after" pictures of the new deck...

Flower Frustration!

A few posts ago, you can see where Jason and I spent a very long day planting and weeding our flower beds....and all for nothing. We had a freeze over Easter weekend and pretty much everything died as a result. I did some "replanting" over the past two days, but the crate myrtles and azaleas are gone. An older neighbor said you can coax the crate myrtles back, but seemed like alot of work. I'll be lucky if I don't kill this round of flowers I just planted. In other news, I thought I would take a "before" picture of our barren back yard because next week we'll have a deck....which will be the perfect set up for a kiddie pool for niece and nephew visits without worrying we're going to kill the grass. I hopefully can post the after picture sometime next week....

Streaking through the quad!!!

Tonight Jason's uncle and Mamaw came to stay the night for their first stop on a road trip to Virginia. We went to dinner at Mike's place and then walking through "the quad"....not streaking, but that made a juicier title for this blog post. After dinner, we took them on a tour of Conway in the dark which required a great deal of imagination on their part! I can only imagine how much they were ready for that torture to come to an end. We watched Dancing with the Stars and managed to deny the sweet tempation of Maggie's cookies which I picked up at lunch for our special guests. I obviously thought we would eat more of these little treats, so they may get to take some for their road trip in the morning.....I can't justify eating all those cookies myself! Where are Sam & Jacob when you need them to finish off some sweets? Remember, If you're not first, you're last! (Just checking to see if people actually read what I write! - well, one in particular - you know who you are!)

Can somebody say Mr. Rogers!!!

Madison made this note just for us....I thought I would post it just in case you were wondering who gets the award for being the "Sweetest Neighbors."

No longer faceless!

I'm still not 100% satisfied with this painting, but at least he finally has a face! I hope Sam likes his cowboy painting!

Lunch with Parker

Today I met Adrienne and Parker at Stoby's for lunch. I was excited to see him and I can't believe how big he has gotten in just two weeks time. Adrienne looks great and says she feels really good. I was glad to see them this afternoon and it was a nice break from work....the cheese dip wan't so bad either!

Spring Planting

Yesterday, Jason and I, worked all day "spring planting." It makes the whole house look so much better and gives you something to look forward to when you arrive home. I will not hesitate to tell you that I used muscles that I didn't KNOW existed...my whole body is ACHING beyond belief but it was worth it. Now, I just hope that I don't kill all the stuff we planted. I'll keep you posted...

Happy Feet & Good Food!

Saturday night was spent with Kelly, Michael, and Caleb. We went to dinner and then back to my house to watch Happy Feet. Caleb didn't make it through the whole movie, but we had fun hanging out with them!
