Hard work in the yard

Brent and I have been working hard in the yard already this year! Of course, it makes it alot easier to work in when it belongs to you!! I have spent several weekends making our flower bed look good and planting lots of flowers! I love to have alot of flowers in the summer. It makes your yard so pretty. My favorite flowers are the petunias in the back flower bed. They are the wave kind so I can't wait until they start to spread. My inpatients are already spreading like crazy. If I could just keep the chipmunks out of our beds I would be doing good. You would think with a 100 pound rottweiler in the back yard, they would be scared to come out, but they are not. I have holes all over the place. I asked Brent if there was something we could put out to make them stop and he said, "yeah, it's called a BB gun" I don't want to hurt them, just want them to stop digging in my flower beds. I am up for any suggestions.

Wedding News

We are counting down until the big day! We have a few more things to make decisions on, but for the most part, we have it all planned out. Kriston has helped me get thank you notes already and napkins for the reception. I just love how they turned out! They are so cute and it makes me excited to start getting things in we have ordered. We sent off to have the bridesmaids dresses ordered last week and I can't wait to see them. I have only seen them in black, so I am so ready to see them in the coral color I picked.

A little bit of Ellison

Of course, I have to talk about Ellison for a little bit! She is growing up so fast! I was talking with Kriston on the phone a couple of days ago and she was just talking and then out of no where she just starting laughing! It was the funniest thing I have ever heard. I love to talk to her on the phone when I call and talk to Kriston. Sometimes she will talk back to me, but mostly she just listens. I can't wait for the day when she can say "aunt Whitney, can I come stay with you for the weekend" Speaking of staying with me for the weekend, I am sooooo looking forward to July. Kriston and Jason meet up with some college friends in Pickwick every year in July. I am going to meet them and get Ellison and bring her back home with me. I can't wait. I am going to take her shopping and buy her all kinds of things. The little things in life we look forward to.

School Update

I am finished with school for this semester! YAY!! I have two weeks off and then start back on May 17. This is just a pre-summer session and will only last 3 weeks. This will be a very crazy and busy 3 weeks but it will all be worth it when it is over. Only 3 weeks and I will have 3 classes out of the way!

Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day weekend!
