Project 365 - Day 148
It's getting easier! I'm thinking by the time these 8 boys (aged 6 1/2 and under) are in high school is when we'll get them all to look at the camera and smile nicely. Until now, they keep things fresh and interesting. Today it took a chorus of Twinkle Little Star and ABC's to get them all to sit still, but at least they all stayed!

Project 365 - Day 146
This morning at 10 minutes before my alarm was set to go off to get the boys ready for school, David comes into our room with a piece of paper. He started talking about how he followed the directions, drew a skeleton and what not, I'm not quite sure, I was still waking up. As it turns out, he got a book from school about skeletons and bones and drew his own version following the directions in the book. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what time he woke up to work on this drawing.
Once my eyes adjusted to being awake I was quite impressed, I mean check out the detail on the rib cage! He spent all morning talking about his drawing, and asked if he could bring it to school to show his teacher and friends. And I wanted to make sure this one was in the memory books (as David now refers to my pictures!), so we made sure to snap a quick image.

Project 365 - Day 144
A turtle in our driveway! After putting Evan to bed, David and Shaun headed outside with Daddy to practice some more hitting off the T. I sat down to my computer to load today's image (which was going to be a picture of Evan with frosting on his face!) when David came running inside telling me they found a turtle!
I followed him outside with my camera to see about getting a picture. David told Daddy he wanted a picture of the turtle "to keep for a memory"! And that buddy, is EXACTLY why I do this!

Project 365 - Day 138
Since we no longer had the snarly mess on the rock wall, it was recommended to us that we plant something there to let people know that there is a wall/drop off. There is also the issue of moving that area, especially so close to the edge of the wall. MIL came up today and we decided to take a drive over to a local nursery to look around. We headed over to the perennials because I wanted something that would come back each year, and that is when I saw these beautiful iris's. The iris was our wedding flower and now I have them in my garden! They look so beautiful, I think we're going to get a couple more!

Project 365 - Day 137
No more snarly mess on the rock wall! I cannot wait to see it when the grass grows in. I wasn't really on top of things and didn't get my before picture, I'm sure I have one somewhere I just need to dig. In any case it was a big huge mess and not something Charlie and I were interested in spending our weekends working on. Last Fall it took us a good 3 weekend days to get half of the hill cleared, loamed and seeded. The landscapers came in today and finished the rest of the hill and this rock wall in a little over a 1/2 a day! Sometimes it's worth paying the professionals!

Project 365 - Day 134
Tough Guys...working hard today out in the sun today!!
June's I Heart Faces challenge is All Boy! I immediately thought if this image I took on Mother's Day. My family came over for brunch and then to help us with our major backyard expansion project. It was a very hot day for May and we had a bonfire going to burn all the brush, so the "big" boys (my two brothers!) took off their shirts to stay cool, which meant the "little" boys wanted to do the same. How could I not get a picture of that! Click on the button below to check out the amazing entries featuring BOYS!!

Project 365 - Day 132
An early Mother's Day gift from David. Last week his teacher told us to send them to school in "messy" clothes because they were going to be working on a special project! Now I know why. David insisted that I open it today because it needed to be watered.

Project 365 - Day 128
I had big plans for a veggie garden this year, but the place that I had though about putting my garden is currently being used to burn all the brush that is covering our entire back yard. So I scaled it back and we're going to try and keep them in pots on our deck. Today we planted tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, mint, thyme, peppers, green onions and green beans in our starter kit. Hopefully we'll start seeing some sprouts soon and then we'll transplant them. I have some basil and parsley to start too.

Project 365 - Day 127
The front of our house looks so different with out the two pine trees and the big oak. We are coming up on our first anniversary of living here and we've already made some very big changes to the landscaping! Now we are gearing up for a big change to the actual house! The first is the installation of a sliding door to walk out onto the deck. And then in July (after the door is installed!), we'll be changing the color!! We chose a barn red color, and I am really excited for the change as we were never really big fans of the Easter egg green color that it is now!
