WEADS for WEAVES.....

So every day I try and get out and do a little yard work. However, our yard is so big, and we have so many flower beds, that in this hot weather and me being pregnant, I can't stay out very long.  As you can see in this pic, our weeds did especially well this year.  I was able to pull alot before, but still had half the yard to do.  I had basically just given up on the backyard.  Until a couple of days ago my sweet neighbor Lorilee came over and said her girls wanted to do trade with me.  They all wanted their hair done and in return they would come dig out all of my weeds.

When I got home from my doctors appointment yesterday, they were hard at work.  I barely recognized my back yard.  We have some beautiful plants growing that were hidden by weeds.  Lorilee, Staci, and Mallisa filled the garbage can at least 10 times full of weeds and took them to a trailor they had across the street.

It was such a great trade.  I got to do what I love and get to know these girls a little more.  And in return, I can walk around my yard now without the anxiety I had before.

And on top of all that, her other kids came over to mow the lawn and trim around the edges.  They wanted to allow Das more time to spend with us when he was in town.

We are truely blessed to have such wonderful neighbors. 

24th of July with the Love Family

On the 24th we had Jason and Mia Love with their adorable kids over for a bbq and fireworks.  Unfortunately my camera battery died, so I didn't get to take very many pics.

And apparently I was blind and didn't see that all pics I took of their family captured the flash in the window.

The day on the 24th was quite hectic.  Das was up on the roof all day fixing the swamp cooler in the hot heat.  And to top that off, I had run over something in his car that ruined the tire.  We were stressed and a little grumpy.  So it was so nice to have friends over to take our mind off of earlier events.  After dinner we played some cards games.  Jason and I partnered up and we ended up letting Das and Mia win cuz we are cool like that.;)

Das and Jason.  Aren't they cute?!

Mia and I.  Even cutter!  Except my prego belly.

I'm loving the new bench Das bought me for my front porch so I could sit and watch the kids run around the neighborhood.

Sorry Das, this picture was better of me, Tristan and Ashton.  Maybe you can crop a better photo of you in later. lol  Hope everyone enjoyed their Pioneer Day like we did.

DayBreak Lake and Park

Friday night we went up to the lake to feed the ducks and relax.  These ducks are so aggressive.  The boys get scared and wont even feed them anymore cuz they kept getting their fingers bit.  I was even a little scared.  Before we even pulled the bread out we had a huge goose following us.  One was going after Ashton so aggressivly that I had to kick it away....twice!  I felt bad but the duck almost got his face.

We then walked up to the neat park they have.  This twisty thing was their favorite.  Das would put each of them on and it would start to turn.  Das would then give it a little push and the boys would go flying off.  We love how close we are to DayBreak and the District.  It was a great Friday night.  I got videos but can't figure out how to upload them here.  Keeps saying there is an error.  So I posted them on facebook.=)
