FLOWER BEDS ALL DONE!( well two more to go but thats a spring project!)

These top two are also in the front by our steps.

2 of the backyard beds...another one is also done and the last biggest one is going to remaind completely empty til we figure out what to do. The last couple had it set up really cute as a little playyard for their son so we are considering doing that too. We shall see!

Front flower bed.

We spent our first cloudly and "cool" day in Temecula making huge headway on our flower beds. Twenty two bags of mulch, 12 mini rose bushes, 5 rose bushes, 2 bags of potting soil and in one day we were able to make the single biggest dent those far in turning this bank owned house green again! We even have a gorgeous flower bloom in the backyard! Drew was so good while we were outside almost all day! He got a little messy I will tell you that. Grass is coming around and hopefully soon enough it will be as nice as our fellow neighbors!

Jasons' New JOB!

They like me they really really like me!

Jason is offically the CO of H and S Company at 1rd Radio Bn. They had a nice little change of command cermony this morning to say farewell to the leaving Marine and a nice warm welcome to Jason. As a nice welcome to the wife I got some beautiful red roses. Drew got this nice little note from some new friends I think!

Helping Hand

I think this is an easier way to sweep!

Anything else for the dryer Mom?

Neither picture was staged and both happend in the same day. Clearly we now offically know he takes after his Dad!

Too cute!

He is ready to go to Hawaii! Thanks Aunt Shelley and especially Uncle Bart for picking my outfit out! I looked super cute-Mom said so!

No house of mine...

Would be a home without roses. Jason bought me two dozen( plus one) at the local market for a whole 13 bucks! What a steal and they were beautiful!

Flowers in the Flower Beds!

These are the before shots..

These were moved from another bed and they are actually flowering! YEAH!!!

This is one of the four back beds. Doing well. Needs mulch and to weed again but a far far cry from what it was!

This one has more plants doing well. They were a bit harder to bring back around but are more green then brown again and after another weeding and mulch we will be good to go! So happy to have green things growing in the backyard! We still have one completely empty bed but three others are pretty squared away.

This bed has been emptied and most flowers relocated. I offically have five of my own rose bushes! They have been trimmed of the roses but several new buds are getting ready to bloom! YEAH GREEN backyard!

San Diego Zoo

If you click on the above picture you can read the sign! Thanks AUSTRALIA!

Koala..NOT KOALA BEAR! SOOOO MANY people standing around the Koalas kept calling them bears. Wanted to correct them like I am sure I should have been corrected in the past but I didnt! :)

Again if you click on the picture you can see his big tongue out!

Drew I believe surely loved the duckies and pink flamingoes! Yes that his him barefoot...think he is going to be hard to keep shoes on him!

Hi folks!

Turtle ride anyone?

Before Jason went back to work we headed to the ZOO! I am sure it will not be our last time going. Beautiful zoo.
