Yard work this weekend


The snake that found US!!!!!

the crazy Zebra looking spider we found...Its call a Banded garden spider

Alex and I removed all the junk plants that were here....
Then Alex dug all these holes there were 6
Then we moved the butterfly bushes from the front of the front yard... to the back of the front yard up by the house
This was were we took the butterfly bushes from...
This past weekend Alex and I did lots of yard work, bc we have been consumed with the kitchen redo we have not had the time to get yard work done.... Our front yard is crazy wild, we have 6 or so shrubs, 6 butterfly bushes, three trees and a ridiculous amount of rocks. What the heck were the people living here before us thinking there is really like 400 rocks on this lot!

Alli love the movie "Alvan and the chipmunks, the squeakquel" and she has been singing all the songs ALL the time and this is her singing "Put your records on"

Kitchen #2...No pictures

Today I was planning on posting all my wonderful pictures from our kitchen remodel... But i can't find my camera!!! i know its here some where but we are still working on the kitchen we have the "base boards", the molding and the counter tops to still do. But we have all the really hard things out of the way. This past weekend Alex, Mikey(my step dad) and I put our kitchen together, Alex and I put all the cabinets together then Alex and Mikey hung them. I put all the shelves and doors on. Once we have the base board and counter tops on then Alex, and I are tiling.. We are putting Black subway tile (long tiles about 6in long) on the wall that our stove is on, its going to be gorgeous!!!!! We are also looking for black galaxy granite, it's black granite with broken glass bits in it to look like glitter... PRETTY!

P.S when I find my camera I will be posting my pictures!!!!!
