our gardens :) *new anniversary shirt*dennis’s too

 

 

 

 

  

 

 first sawyer with the new toy i bought for him and Beau. it keeps Beau still for a few minutes! worth it! we’ll have to invest in a fancier one someday.

dennis got it into his head that we needed pretty gardens so we did some shopping and a friend gave me some lilac trees:

this is the before, a couple summers ago before dennis ripped out the deck…

now:

 Beau is REALLLLY helpful. really.

 lilac tree from a friend (it’ll be dark purple)

 Sawyer watering his pumpkin seeds with help from Beau. lots of help.

 the hydrangea we brought from the old house. i think it’s going to flower better this year.

*i got a new shirt at the fights yesterday. dennis got one too b/c our anniversary is coming up. don’t ask me how many years it’s been b/c i’m not sure. i think 7. nothing says love like TapOut LOL. Beau looks like he’s dancing in the background.

  dennis’s shirt (front and back)

 the fights went pretty well. we had 5 fighters in it, mostly new fighters doing 1st or 2nd fights. 2 of them won. our girl who has only been at it for about 1.5 months won. crazy. i might put up some pics of that later.

You just wait til things have had another season’s growth added to them and your yard is going to blow your mind. Its lovely now but next blooming season is when it will really WOW you 🙂

I have always wanted a lilac tree, but unfortunately they don’t grow don’t here because of the heat. 🙁 I did manage to get a lilac bush though, which is a teeny tiny version of your lilac trees. I wish we could grow the trees though! But our summers are too hot. 🙁 Love the garden – that is really pretty! Your grass looks so much better than mine and wow – how nice to have a flower garden with no weeds! Mine is OVERUN with weeds no matter how much I pull them out. Once I pull them all out, they are back within a week. 🙁

I love your garden! I wish I had a garden…. I love your little one trying to “help”.

Pretty petunias and coleous!!!

Awesome shirts and your landscaping looks wonderful!! I really suck at the landscaping part. Tim does too so our flowerbeds are a lost cause. Thanks for the friend on FB! Now you can read all my btching in realtime lol. RYN the font: It’s the Pea Amy Sue from this website: http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/ They have free font sets made from handwriting samples from different people and they are all AWESOME! I think they would be perfect for digital scrapbooking or something along those lines. The font I used for my 3 Little Birds Studios logo was really similiar to these.

I love your casa and yard! So pretty! You and the boys are doing such a great job keeping it that way. 😉 I’m digging the anniversary shirts! Very very cool!

The two pics above the yellow and purple iris, they are supposed to attract butterflies. And I LOVE lilac. I am missing my own little gardens. 🙁

May 31, 2010

May 31, 2010

Way to go on the garden, I’m envious of all that green (our Summers are brown :P), it looks fantastic! 🙂

May 31, 2010

My Mom has a lilac tree. I want some along the side of the house, they smell so good.

Wow, your garden looks great! I love lilacs. Also, Beau’s little octopus outfit is adorable. Happy anniversary! RYN: Yeah, I have found a lot of support through OD over the years. Lots of great people on here. By the way, I’d like to order your book! It took me forever to have any money to spend, but I have some now. How should we do this?

June 1, 2010

wow ur garden looks great! almost makes me want a garden at my house, but i’m just too lazy for that LOL i like the shirts! pretty cool 🙂 and RYN: hard to believe, but yeah.. i have no internet. i keep going to the mother-in-law and using HER internet lol 🙂

The garden looks awesome!

cool shirts! happy anniversary! ryn: we have Luke in a bassinet in our room. I know a lot of people like the co-sleeping thing and I love cuddling with my kids in bed but Nicky is six and getting too big to be sleeping with us (plus he kicks me at night!)We’re having a hard time getting him to sleep in his own bed because we’ve let him co-sleep so I’d rather not have the same problem with Luke

Beautiful pictures. You look like you’re in good shape – you’re going to pass me up one of these days as I’m going the opposite direction. Sawyer looks so big! cute tops too

Don’tcha just love all that “help”? Did you have to hose the dirt off of him when it was over? Oh, and LOVE the backs of those shirts!

tell me about it – i carry all my weight in the middle and now that I’m gaining weight it’s really noticeable. I wish I could spread the weight around a little! ha.
