What has been keeping me so busy!!!

Well, I have been so busy the last month or so! Finally, I think I'm all caught up and maybe I can update here more often!

Weeds, weeds, and more weeds! We spent 2 weekends in the yard, weeding and mowing, and more weeding. I was SO incredibly sore, and I've never worked so hard in my life! Our house is next to some vacant lots and they are always full of weeds - it also doesn't help that we are about the only ones in our entire neighborhood that have our yard in, so everyone else's yards are full of weeds. Finally we finished up last weekend and got the veggies planted. I had Mike mulch with the grass that he mowed up since we don't have any mulch yet and I'm trying to keep the weeds down. I do need a few filler things - I kinda have some empty spaces, but they will fill up eventually. A few pictures for your enjoyment :)

Front by sidewalk (Sierra named our tree "Whitney" LOL).

By front porch - my irises are blooming! And my hostas came back - I was so happy!

Other side of front porch (lots of empty space here in the front).

East side of house (more blooming!)
My little veggie garden along the back of my house.

The other thing that has been keeping me so busy is Sierra's dance recital. It was finally over this week and they all performed great! Here are a few pictures:

A little blurry, but you get the idea. They were the "Thunderbirds". Cute dance, and cute costumes!




This dance was "Shopping" - I didn't get very many good photos - the auditorium was too dark and everything turned out blurry, but the dances were cute and they did a great job!

Hopefully I will be able to keep up here more often - we have lots of vacation time coming up, so I should have some interesting pictures to post soon!
