Our House

We have had many requests to see the outside of our house so here you go! This is the view from the street. At some point the tree that you see will be replaced though. It is a mesquite tree I think and it is VERY messy so we will replace it with a flowering plum probably.

This is the entry way. A lot of these bushes will be replaced at some point too because they are too over grown.

This is our patio. We are LOVING it now that the weather is nicer. We have had hamburgers a couple time and we've eaten lunch out here several time because it is so nice during the day. If you think I am bragging- I am! This is the time of year that I am glad to live in Las Vegas!!

This is our back yard. We live on the corner lot so it is pretty good sized for the area. We are excited to have it. We will hang a hammock between the two trees when we figure out the best way to do so. If you have any tips they would be appreciated.

So this is the outside of our house. We love it and would love to show it off to any who want to come visit!! Let me know. We have a spare room and bed for you to stay in.

Our Garden

This is our first attempt at a garden in our new house. We planted it on March 8. We are pretty excited and hope that we get at least some harvest from it. We planted carrots, strawberries, tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, peas, corn, beans, cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, and butternut squash. Not all of it fit in the garden so we used some planters that we have on our porch. We will see how that turns out.

This is a peach tree that we have planted in our yard. Mike and I both thought it was dead and almost pulled it out, but luckily we did not because now it has blossoms all over the place.

Tyler played in the sand box while Mike and I were planting the garden. I am not sure he liked it a whole lot, but he did enjoy being outside!!
