Hook 'em Horns!!! Ready for some football!!! 

the on going yard saga

matt and I have become a little more ambitious in our yard work lately. we took on this task on sunday when we went to a nursery and decided we wanted to plant in our corner yard..... it took us way more time then we thought to dig this up and it is still not complete... we still have to dig the sides and front up. AHHHHH - but we had to plant the plants cause they were about to die. 

One day I will learn to take before pictures as well as after. 

these plants were also supposed to go in the front corner lawn - but we didn't have room so they are in pots in the back now. not sure if they will stay here.. only time will tell. 

and the last project from the weened replanting the front stoop plants in bigger pots. the one on the left is more visable then the one on the right. going to have to figure out what to do about that. 

we have someone coming tomorrow to give us a quote on trimming our trees - cause they are clearly taking away from the house not adding to it. 

gardening

we did some gardening this weekend at the house. mark and betty came over and we took out so much stuff to try and make the house more viewable from the street. I regret that I did not take any before photos and it is still a big work in progress - but here is the status. it is not complete due to the EXTREME heat! but this took us about 8 hours 

the front of the house where all that really changed is addition of the two pots - which matt bought new ones so once I replant in them I will post an updated photo. we also need to get someone out to trim this tree!!! 

we took out the side flower bed (need to add new grass now) 

here again you can see where we used to have a flower bed and you can also see that we took out the majority of the plants on the side 

without a before picture this picture really doesn't show anything but Betty trimmed this tree up for us - some of the branches were touching the ground!!! in my opinion this was one of the biggest parts of the transformation. 

matt also added this to the pecan tree in the back - I am pretty sure we are one of the only people who want squirrels in our yard... oh blue - he's so spoiled!!
