Happy Lady

We are getting there with moving into our house.  Brandon has been hard at work outside and has finished his big project.  It looks great and I couldn't be happier.  He has been working on a retaining wall/planter borders for the front yard. 

Brandon will be helping our neighbor build his retaining wall as well.  The neighbor's wife told her husband that our side looks better than theirs, so the middle section between our two houses will eventually match.

Grass is going to have to be babied for a while.  Our renters didn't take the best care of it.

 

My car now fits into the garage.  I have a feeling that by this weekend Brandon's will too.

Isaiah has never had  a really cool room and so this time, we decided to make it happen.  He loves music and so I decided to make him a rock and roll room.  It has turned out pretty cute and he is super happy with it.  I still have a few posters to get and hand but for the most part it is completed.  I am pleased with how it turned out.  Braxton's is going to have to wait until next month when I get his quilt made, but I think that he is going to be happy with his too.



We really love our yard as it is a total boy paradise.  A few weeks ago I was startled because I thought that our hose was broken.  We had this massive thing crawling in our yard.

I think that this is a rat snake.  He was about 5 feet long, and as big around as a hose. 

When we moved back into our house we had two visitors who made themselves at home on our little porch.  They stayed sitting on the ledge for about a month until finally the mom was left sitting on this little mud nest.  they are some pretty smart birds because the place that they picked is safe from all of the elements and most of the time the birds are left alone unless I am doing what was done in the picture below).

This is what is happening now.  They should be hatching any day. 


So we are just about settled and have a feeling of accomplishment.  Now we are ready to have a great summer.
