2 more projects....

These were little projects, but the first one was to hang some lights outside just on the little eve that covers the slide and glass door. It's ok, not sure I like them but the twins LOVED them so I guess I will leave them. And then just a new flower arrangement, Karlea loves her sutterfly (butterfly). Her and Karson fought over whose it was for 30 minutes:)
I hope everyone is having a nice day, we sure are, but how CAN'T you when the weather is sunny and hot??

What a beautiful SPRING day!!

The twins and I were outside from 9:45 when we did my 4 miles until about an hour ago. It was so pretty here today. I can not wait until it's like this all the time!! We did alot today while we were outside enjoying this nice weather. First of all this is our new friend that joined the flower bed.... Its the Cowboys gnome. Isn't he cute? I think so!
This is my new little sun stake. I like anything to do with suns. I think it fits right in.

This is the other palm tree that we got from Uncle Jim and Aunt Nelda. We planted it in the back yard in front of this UGLY cable box hoping that one day it will kind of hide it. Thanks Jim and Nelda.


While the twins enjoyed their side walk chalk....this is Karson's work of art..



This is Karlea's work of art....

I filled up all of my little pail flower hangers and hung them on the fence in the back yard. I think they turned out great! I love them!! This is the left side as you walk out into the back yard.


This is the right side as you walk out into the back yard.

This is the back fence.

This is kind of an overall look of the back yard. I think it looks so good!!


Another view of the back yard.


This was my new flower project I did this evening on the back porch.

I think I like my flip flop thermometer the MOST!! How cute is it?? BUT after I thought I put it in the most perfect cutest place.....I read you are supposed to put thermometers in the shade NOT direct sun light and now I already have a SCREW hole on the front of the kids swing set.....so not sure how I'm going to fix that but other than that small minor problem I think it's super cute!!

Baseball Thursday and Summer Time Friday!

Last night Klayton had a baseball game and the wind was ridiculous and it was cold! We stayed outside while the sun was up with the twins bundled up but when the sun went down I couldn't take it anymore and parked the car in a perfect spot so I could see the batter and every position outfield so I sat in the car most of the game but didn't miss 1 minute of the game. Good thing I didn't because Klayton played so good! He hit a line drive to the fence every at bat....not sure if it had something to do with the new bat his daddy bought him or if maybe he is just going to be as athletic as his mommy:) Here are a few pics of the twins at the game before the sun went down. Sweet boy Karson (yeah right, but at least he looks sweet)


Princess Karlea with her hoard of toys she ALWAYS has with her!!
These next pictures are what I did for most of the day today! It's super nice outside today with almost no wind so I decided what better day than to get the flowerbeds looking like summer! What do you think??





I think it looks pretty good. I just put some weed n feed on the grass a couple of weeks ago when it was still brown, look how green it has started to get! Klayton stayed home from school today, looks like I will be taking him to the doctor tomorrow. I just took him last week and he had an upper resp. viral infection. He has been whiney and sleeping on the couch all day. Hopefully he will feel better soon! We are going to Josh and Shel's tonight for game night so I will have some more pictures to post. Saturday night we are going to grill out over at our house so I will have pics to post after that as well! And then sunday me and Ben are going to have some "us" time because after church we are dropping off the twins and Klayton at Grammy and Grampy's for the day. I hope everyone has as great of a weekend as our sounds like it's going to be!!
