New Flowerbed!

So Ive been wanting to plant a flowerbed in the spot for sometime and I finally decided to just do it! I got that little tricycle planter the other day while I was out junk shopping and that got me really wanting to plant some flowers. I use to work for the campus greenhouse and we would plant and water and keep up with all the beds on campus and let me tell you that was one FUN summer. Then the next summer I got a job at the local landscaping and nursery. So I am no stranger to planting flowers but I haven't done it in a couple of years since I had Nash and I was really having the itch.

So me and Nash headed to Lowe's and let me tell you that was NOT fun! It is soooo freakin hard to shop with a 2 yr old! He doesn't just want to sit in the buggy and let me look anymore he has to be down walking and getting into everything. Ugh. Plus it was sooooo HOT. I was like dripping with sweat after about 5 mins of being out there looking. We ended up being at Lowe's for about an hour and half to two hours looking at plants and trying to figure out what to plant and then after all that looking I ended up just grabbing stuff that I thought might possibly work because I couldn't think because I had Nash running around and whining about everything! Ok I'm done complaining about my sweet baby.

This is the bed before I planted obviously... Its pretty shallow so I bought potting soil to fill it up with.

And here's the after! How pretty?! I'm in love.... I just hope it does good I'm not sure about the big plants in the back. Ive never planted anything like them and I don't know how big their gonna get or if they will take cause they don't have that much soil to grow in so we will see.

This is what the big plants are suppose to look like when they start flowering. I thought they were really neat so I really want them to take!

And then I planted this lovely tub of flowers. Ive planted this same tub before and put in the same place and it was so cute. So i wanted to try it again.

I love this pic with my yellow house in the background it looks so summer-y to me. I will do another post when my flowers get bigger and prettier!

There are still a few more things I want to do outside. Ive been looking for something to put on the front porch maybe a planter or something I'm not sure yet. I also want two chairs and a small table for the spot beside the new flower bed. Plus I really need to paint the shutters. AHHH!

Ok later for now!

Nash and Grandaddy

So I just wanted to share some pictures of Nash and his grandaddy over the past two years. They are so cute together and Nash is just all about his "dayyie" (I'm not sure how to spell it how he pronounces it but he rarely said the "gran" and he doesn't pronounce the "dd") If grandaddy is in the house he is not even worried about his momma lol and when grandaddy walks in the house he gets sooooooo excited! I put the pictures in order from when he was first born up until now and it made me realize I need to take more pictures of these two!

This was the first time daddy held Nash he was to nervous to hold him in the hospital so he had to wait till we got home lol ps. how pretty is my little baby?!

It didn't take him long to get comfortable holding him and napping with him :)

These are some wonderful pictures that one of my best friends took of us a couple of summers ago. Nash was about 4 months in these.

I love this one you can just see how much love daddy has for Nash.

How cute is my little penguin on his first Halloween?!

Grandaddy showing Nash how to drive with his new toy that he got from Santa on his first Christmas.

Enjoying a bonfire and smores together.

Here's more wonderful professional pictures from my talented bestie! How cute are they in their overalls?!

If anybody is reading this they should really go check out Jennifer's website www.jrb-photography.com shes FABULOUS!

Mmmmmm corn on the cob!

We tried to help in the garden but I don't think we were very much help. Daddy likes things done his way and ends up getting ill if its not done exactly that way!

Going through these pictures was so much fun and sad at the same time my sweet baby is growing up! I just love seeing these two together and I pray that they have many many more years together.

Easter Post.... Finally!

Ok so I am finally doing my Easter post. Its only about two months late... oops. I suck I know. So this was my place setting. I love it. I got these baskets at Hobby Lobby and the little Robin's eggs at Marshall's. Then I just cut out some name cards from some scrapbook paper and tied it on the baskets.



This is the main table setting I made a burlap runner and put a ruffle on the end (which I didn't get a picture of) and the white thing in the middle is a pillow sham. I used old plates that didn't match for the table setting. Isn't it great?! Oh and theres my pedestal bowls in the middle! I don't guess I got a close up of the eggs in the bowls but I made them too. They are just the plastic eggs you can buy at Wal-Mart and I cut out strips of fabrics and hot glued them around the eggs. They looked really cool.

This was my other table and there are the chairs I painted! I love this table more because its more my style I don't like the look of our main dining room table because I don't like the shiny oak but hey I gotta work with it.... for now anyways.

Here is the centerpiece for the second table. I got the two thingies on the sides from an antique store (I have no idea what you call them but I liked em) and of course I had to put a couple of pretty flowers on the table!

I made this burlap table cloth and put a lace trim all around it. I had to tea-dye the trim because it was white and I wanted it to look more antiqued.

Here's my banner all hung up and looking pretty! This is one of my fave things I made!

And then I just had to close with some pretty flowers! Notice they are on my newly painted table! Aren't they pretty?!

Ok that's all.. I don't know why that was so hard to do and why I waited so long to write it (mainly because I didn't even write that much)
