Photos as promised

My husband Jake and I have been very busy over the last few weeks. We got our first BBQ, a Wii and Wii fit, started removing rocks from the front yard, and I planted my garden. Here are some pictures from our last few weeks...

We were both very excited have a BBQ of our very own and we use it ALL the time now.

Jake taking the Wii our of the box. We had talked about getting a Wii of and on for a long time now. I was tanning one day, just down the mall from Target and said "What the heck, we deserve it!" Walked into Target and bought a Wii and Wii fit. Rather then just walking in the door with it I put it on the floor on the passenger side of my car, and put a card on the seat thanking Jake for being such a great husband and telling him that I loved him. A little later, when Jake was in the kitchen, I asked him to get my purse out of the car. It was on the floor of the passenger side :O) ... He was excited!

I have wanted to take all these rocks out of the area in front of our house so we can re-landscape it for a really long time. Last Friday I got home and Jake had started it.

The before, or well after the first day of Jake working on it by himself.

Ok, so for the record...Jake got a shovel and I got my hands. After working for two days my bum and legs were VERE sore. I swear that the person who decided putting rocks in with plants either wasn't very smart, or knew they were not going to be the ones to remove them. What a pain this has been!!

Jake proving he can win a fight with a root. There are some big, long roots from all the shrubs and bushes in this little area.

Our progress for Day 2. There have been a lot of rocks moved so far...but we still have a lot to go.

Day 3: Cutting down shrub number one. Until Jake cut into it we were feeling really bad we were cutting down a healthy tree. But, as you can tell, the tree is sick and probably dying.

Jake got the tree down, I moved some more rocks and talked to our neighbor. Good work babe!

Garden update: I had to buy all new plants because the seedlings all died. I planted these on Monday.

There are all kinds of plans in here, probably too many but I'm sure some will not make it. We have raspberries, tomatos, corn, peas, strawberries, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, squash, and I'm sure more things I can't remember right now.

Fingers crossed they live!!

Well...told you we have been busy lately. We wont get to do any work in the yard this weekend as we are going to a cousin of mine's 40th Birthday Bash and then to the Oregon Beach for a day. I'm sure I will have more pictures to post after the weekend. Oooooh, and I still have to post a picture of my newest tattoo. Maybe a later post.
