Day in the sun

Had a great day at the pool with my hubby. After swimming, we took a walk around the rose gardens, then a nice nap and relaxing evening. I never used to be able to take naps but now I need them, since I don't sleep well at night with Mr. Kicks alot.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Fathers Day!

This weekend was nice, we got stuff done and had a little fun as well. I did spend some time outside so I'm covered in masquito bites and I'm thinking that's why I felt ill today.

Friday Scott and I did our errands, grocery shopping, etc.  Scott also got our back lawn finally mowed (with our FREE lawn mower :-) ) and we picked up like a million sticks! Still have millions more to pick up.

Our backyard looked like a wildlife preserve/forest before scott mowed. 

One of the many creatures living in our backyard.

Saturday Scott helped a family in our ward move and I caught up on laundry and house chores. Then we celebrated fathers day a little early when he came home.

I wanted to get him a good hammer for fathers day, but he didn't find any at home depot, so he's going to try online. Poor guy keeps smashing his fingers and got a really nasty blood blister.

So we went to a Froyo place called Orange Leaf, sooo yummy. Then we got ourselves some water toys/spray guns and had a blast running around our yard soaking each other.

Scott's father's day gift, adorable onsie and cowtail bites. :-)

I worked on my gardens a little bit more (I really need to weed them now):

I'm not done laying the bricks in the middle, I plan on digging them into the ground more....just ran out of energy

One half is my mint leaf garden

One half is my herb garden....the cilantro and green chives already died :-(

My vegetable garden (Thanks Scott for building me the long planter box, the square one was already in the yard, we just drug it over where I wanted it.) We have tomato thieves living in our yard, we keep finding the ones that were growing missing...then find them half eaten on the other side of the yard. We might have to put a net up.....

SOOOOO many sticks! (and this is only a small percentage)

So great news! We FINALLY got the counter tops ordered. So we just need to save up for the sink and a dishwasher (eventually) and wait for the stuff to arrive and we are pretty much to the point we'll have a kitchen again!!!! 

Not so good news, we realized the half bath floor was rotting. So Scott went in to see what he could do to fix it....and the floor fell out (into our downstairs bathroom):

So Scott had to temporarily patch the ceiling while he works on the half bath. 

....I feel like I'm living in a construction Zone....but good things come with patience right? :-)
