Oranges from a neighbor

I didn't take very good care of our orange tree last year, so not surprisingly enough it didn't give very good fruit this year. Much to our disappointment because we sure enjoy being able to go out into our backyard and pick an orange off of our tree and eat it. Thankfully our next door neighbor did take cake of her tree and was nice enough to let us pick the oranges from her tree that hung over our side of the wall. So I think I learned my lesson....trees need water. A lot of water in Arizona.

A Little Landscaping

A Little Landscaping

We've been doing a little landscaping in the front yard. I just wish plants weren't so expensive cause it sure would've been fun to get a lot more of them and make the yard really look good. But I'm grateful for what we were able to do because even adding a few plants sure made everything look better. Craig did a really good job. It's hard work digging all those holes, especially doing it after putting in a full days work already.

Alexander was outside messing around in the backyard today when he noticed a little bird on the ground. We aren't sure what was wrong with it, if anything because after he posed for pictures he just flew away. The kids all thought that it was pretty cool, but Alexander started worrying about it saying he hoped it wasn't hurt or anything. He's such a tender hearted guy.

My blog is up and running!

I can't believe how long it took me to get this blog done! I kept messing simple little things up. I just don't like reading directions, so I made this little project way harder than what it should've been. Oh well, live and learn. It's all good! Anyway now you can visit my blog and see how FABULOUS my life is.....yea right.
