We worked on the up stairs area this weekend. Cleaned up,painted and changed some light fixtures. It’s a light tan color with white trim…
Beck has become really good at trim work… she doesn’t tape off the areas anymore… Mike taught her well.
We still have the faucet to change in the up stairs bathroom to do,but it’s coming along…
We also stained the back porch door… it looks much better.
When we went down there it was already around 90 degrees outside; this is only May.
The Dallas Arboretum grounds looked outstanding[...] there were so many flowers and trees and just a bunch of special areas. It was the perfect opportunity to catch some nature pictures. It was funny- the squirrels must be just so happy in there… They were everywhere and they were having a ball… Even with people, they seemed very comfortable getting close.
We walked around for about 2 hours, but as the day went on, the heat was really starting to set in, so I think we cut it a bit short…
These pictures were taken with my little black camera; my little AIPTEK 8mp / 720p HD video camera. It’s not a high end camera, it’s so simple. One button picture, one button video – easy. I was surprised at the quality of some of these shots. There were a few that didn’t make it, but here’s the ones that did make it.
Enjoy!
Wow, how time flies… Last week we got some red mulch for the flower beds and tried to make few things look a little better. We got some tomatoes, bell peppers, Jalapeños and some herbs. We had a old friend drop by last week; Kim was here on Wednesday. She was here on business, but managed to get some free time and drop by our house.
Beck found a patio set for an incredible $40. It’s a large table, with the tiles you can replace, 6 chairs; two of them are rocker/swivel chairs. it came with an umbrella and stand, but we didn’t need it.
And there’s more…
Here’s a few picture we’ve been shooting around the house.
Ethan got a new recliner to put in his room; just had to have it. Beck and I went to go see a movie and they had the Chipmunks out there, so I caught a quick snap with her in it. I thought it was cute.
Ethan bit in to something yesterday and his tooth almost fell out and he was crying about it hurting, and then I get a call from Beck saying that Ethan was running through the house and miss his turn to his room and hit the door frame; putting a huge knot on his head.. [another one]
Beck saw this place selling pumpkins on the side of the road and so we went, picked up the kids and went back to play an around and take some pictures of us and the kids with the pumpkins.
