Well this is where my Asparagus root used to be…
I had ten roots planted, and Mia has dug up and destroyed all but three…
I also had a blueberry bush that was showing some promise, and even had a few berries. Mia systematically chewed off all the branches, and then dug up the roots, and ate them too…
Ugh, so frustrating!
Any advice on keeping an ornery puppy out of the garden, and off of my baby plants?
Dylan really enjoys Tae Kwon Do. He has been working extra hard to test for a new belt. Last Monday his name was called, and he was ready to test.
He did his form well. Thade was called to do the one steps with Dylan.
Dylan was all smiles when he was awarded his Yellow Tip.
Way to go Dylan!
May was really busy, but I got a ton of photos. It was a fun month, and I can’t wait to see what the month of June brings our way.
I finally got a few photos of all three kiddos together.
In May, Thade earned his Green Belt.
He also said good-bye to the second grade.
Dylan had an extra fun last day of preschool.
He also graduated from preschool in May too.
Agnes and I enjoyed a few last quiet mornings before the boys were home for the Summer.
She loves to be outdoors playing in the backyard.
I spend a lot of May cleaning and working on the backyard.
Most of the lilies came back and bloomed.
I also picked a few hand-fulls of Snow Peas from the garden.
We had a few more plants blossom and bloom,
but Miss Mia has had it out for the garden…
We welcomed a new pet to the family. She is a lot of fun, and she is growing fast.
Now for your double dose of kitty cuteness.
June has already been a busy month. I’m already working on the next favorite photos post.
Last Monday, I did a Windows update on my trusty laptop, and sadly it died… We tried for an entire week to work on it, and bring it back, but it just wouldn’t cooperate.
James surprised me this weekend with a new setup!
He got me a new Sony Vaio, and he got an amazing deal on it. I still can’t believe that he got it for me, but I am really thankful for it. Yeah, my hubby is super awesome!
I’ll be spending the next few days getting used to the new laptop, but so far I am loving it!
In the back of the house we have a small bathroom, attached to the utility room. Both of the areas were in need of some paint and updating.
We started work on the bathroom a few months ago, and it is looking so much better.
The utility room space is a little tricky, since it is connected to the small bathroom I wanted a color that compliments, but I also wanted to separate the spaces.
We decided to start the trickiest part of the utility room, and we moved the washer and dryer. We removed the rest of the vinyl flooring, and got the first coat of beachy aqua on.
We waited to paint on the second coat after the kiddos were asleep. I have to say, it is really fun to paint at night, and it is so quiet too.
We waited a few days for the paint to fully cure, and then we started to put the laundry corner back together.
James moved my shelf, and I got all of my supplies organized.
We hung back up some of my favorite decorations too. One is from my Sister (in law), and the other was my Na-na’s. I love the cross stitched quote “dull women have immaculate houses”. It makes me giggle every time I’m washing the laundry.
We still have a few more spots to paint in the room, but the pretty aqua is already a big improvement.
