Keeping cool

While we have record temps yet again here in the hills we are keeping cool in our master bedroom with the ac. The kids are happy about their sleeping arrangements. ..

Our little slugger

Grammy and Papa got Cameron a t-ball set for his birthday (2 months ago). He no longer wants to use the T, he wants you to throw the ball. I am AMAZED that he is connecting with the ball!  Below are some pictures and one of the many videos I was able to get! These may be worth a lot in about 20 years!!!!!!!

 Hit right back to the pitcher!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy mothers day to all the mommy's out there!  Saturday Cameron and I went to To a birthday party for a dear friends baby who turned 1. Then we stayed the night at my folks as Bryan had to work.  We had a great evening!
Today we have just relaxed and have done nothing but go to lunch and see Bryan's parents.  
Hope everyone else had a great day too!

Yard Work

Well, since the wind kept my dad and step-mom from visiting this weekend I figured it would be a good time to clean up the yard since it wasn't too hot. 

My rosemary, roses and hedges weren't getting along so well so I thought I should separate them. I still need to tidy up the hedges but you can see the progress so far...

 This area next to the tree and behind the horseshoe pit has never been used other than to store extra dirt. Looks like a good place for the rosemary, roses and gladiolas!

 Lots of weeds and dirt... and as I kept digging big huge rocks. The backyard used to be the garage and driveway. Handy...

 Rose number one on the left... He is clearly crowding the hedge.. or vice versa, I'm not sure. Rosemary is on the right, which you can't see as it has grown into the hedge

 Two more roses are growing into the hedge on the right.

This is where I stopped for the day... you can't see the gladiolas but they are in front of the roses. I found they weren't buried deep enough before so they are pretty deep now.  

I may have lost a lot of poppies in the move too but it is looking better! Next weekend I hope to shape the hedges... We will see how that turns out...

Cameron's 3rd birthday

For Cameron's birthday I took the day off to spend it with him.

This is what he woke up to:
