"Lawn" Overdue



This is almost too embarrassing to admit but we moved here in January and just a few days ago we finally were able to cut the grass. I know that is a long time but really our front yard is all desert landscaping... so no grass there, and our back yard just has this very small patch of grass. All of which I had to nurse back to life when we moved in. Maybe I did too good of a job reviving the grass because it then started to grow out of control...and we didn't own a lawn mower. So last weekend my sweet husband bought a lawn mower on one of his few days off and cut the grass...5 times. Yeah, that's right it took 5 times going over our little patch of grass, and 4 trash bags of lawn clippings to get the job done. When he finally got all of the grass cut our lawn was all yellow and dead looking underneath. Oh well, I guess we start over with reviving the grass again, only this time we will keep it cut...you win some you lose some.

Our Fourth of July Festivities


Summer has been so busy and hectic that I have fallen behind on my blogging. Hopefully I will get back into the swing of things again...but no promises.
For the Fourth of July we went to California to see Scott's family. His dad just bought a new boat and invited us to go out on it and watch the Queen Mary fireworks. It was a lot of fun but one thing I must admit is pregnancy and a rocking boat on the ocean do not mix. I think I will enjoy it even more next year for that reason.
