Projects

We had a busy Memorial weekend. It started that Thursday when the boys' Aunt Jennifer came to stay with us for a couple nights. She stayed with the boys on Friday when Rob and I were at work. The boys loved having her come to play with them, and they were sad to see her go. It was also nice to have someone to watch some of my girly wedding shows with :) Thanks again Jennifer!!

Then on Saturday my parents, my brother Tony, and his fiance Erika came up to celebrate Memorial Day with us. We enjoyed drinks, good food, bean bags, a bon fire, and smores on Saturday.

On Sunday we put my parents to work and did some landscaping around our backyard. This is a project that I have wanted to tackle since Rob bought the house, and finally we got it done!!! We definitley hit our fair share of bumps along the way, Rob had a few choice words for the sprinkler system, and we had to make SEVERAL trips to Lowe's on Sunday, but it in the end all the pieces came together. We are really happy with how it looks! Now comes the the most difficult task...keeping my new plants and shrubs alive :)
