Tumble weeds
















Please go away and never return.
















Putting up a fence did cut down on some of these pesty things but not all --when the wind blows here, it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll have a wall of tumble weeds. This is the second time in the last two weeks we've had to get rid of these things --they're so annoying, leaving tons of stickers in the lawn --not to mention their SEEDS they leave everywhere they go.

My Climbing Parrott...

Laex.














He's always been a climber, and a dare-devil with no fear, but lately he's been getting into some close calls like the other day when he climbed over the back of the couch and fell head first on the tile, or this weekend when he was in his room trying to climb on the dresser (of all things -Seriously!) - we heard a crash went running and found the dresser tipped forward, held up only by all four open drawers --so lucky he wasn't stuck under there, he was at the door way saying, "bonk, bonk" - um, yep --BIG BONK!

He also has become too smart for his britches (as if he wasn't before) and repeats everything, and I mean EVERY.THING. we say -- isn't he too young for this?! He says so many thing. But, I dropped something a while back and said, "Dang-it" (thank heavens I didn't say something worse) now he is constantly saying, "Dane-dit" - GREAT! Really, I try not to laugh cause it's too cute. He is already so good at pronunciation - I hope he keeps it up. He says some things so perfectly like, "Trash", "Nut", "Cheese", "More"...etc.
This kid is the best!

TREES, Trees, trees...

We have been LOVE.ING. the beautiful spring-like weather, while it lasts, and spending much time out-doors working on the yard. We have been planting tree after tree, this hasn't been a simple task because of the rock garden that we've had to un-earth to get them in! So far, we've planted a total of 8 trees including 2 cherry and a peach tree and 6 raspberry bushes!
























































































Laex has really enjoyed himself!

PS - The BIGGEST NEWS of all...as of yesterday we are officially D.O.N.E. with the BFF (Fence Guy)!!! YEAH! How long does it take to finish a fence when you decide not to do it yourself??? 6 1/2 MONTHS - I guess that's why I usually choose to do things myself! :)

JackPot

I'm a sucker for a good deal.
I'm an even BIGGER sucker for a needle-in-the-haystack kind of find.
I love to visit the local Thrift stores, and lately have had quite the luck!!
Here are some of my treasured and much-loved finds!














Total Expended: $9.00, what a steal! :)

Like father like son






























They're alike in more way than one!

And now, I'm off to work - YAY!
It's been a while.
I'm excited to be producing the cooking segment for next Wednesday!

Papa

It's no secret Laex L.O.V.E.S. his Papa. Mom, Dad and Kenz were recently out and he had a blast with Papa!















We went to the "cowboy" store Laex had to try on a "Papa Hat"!

Mama's Shoes

I caught Laex doing this...







































He only tripped a few times before he realized they aren't quite the shoes for him :)
