If you were at our house this last week...

you would have witnessed the following:

1. ME GETTING IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN MIKES WORK CAR & THE OTHER PERSON NOT STOPPING

2. MIKE PUNCHING A BRICK WALL AND POSSIBLY BREAKING HIS HAND

3. ME STEPPING ON A RUSTY NAIL WHILE DOING YARD WORK

4. A DOCTORS VISIT FOR ME AND MIKE INCLUDING 2 TETNUS SHOTS AND 1 X-RAY (NO BROKEN HAND)

5. BIRD EGGS HATCHING IN A NEST INSIDE OUR GRILL

6. OUR YARD FINALLY FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the events that are picture worthy...

BBQ anyone??

The front yard

My flower pots I did

Our back yard- I know our yard may not seem like anything special but it sure beats hanging out in the dirt...yay for grass!

And finally my patio furniture I cashed in on for Mothers Days. I also got a little fire pit so we can make smores every night! :)

It's Been Awhile..

Haven't posted for awhile. I'm awful at taking pictures, and I'm sure the two people that are even remotely interested in our blog have moved on. But I will amuse myself and post something just to make myself feel better that someone is interested. What has been going on? A few weeks ago I went on a girls trip with my mom, grandma, aunt and three cousins to Seattle...with no kids. It was glorious! We had so much fun, we spent 8 hours downtown the first day just walking around, shopping, eating ice cream, listening to people on the street sing and play instruments. I LOVE pretty much everything about Seattle, and I realize how homesick I am when I go home. I will try and get some pictures posted of that trip. Other than that... since I have been home we have been hard at work on our yard. Who would have thought cement curbing could make me giddy?! And last but definitely not least, American Idol. This is who has my vote...although sometimes the way he moves his mouth when he sings bugs me, I'm still a fan.

P.S. Highlight of the week so far-I think Jaxon has finally agreed that potty training might not be such a bad idea. I know, he's 3...please don't judge!
