Our House Happenings Lately...

So we have been crazy busy with this new house lately.  Trying to get the inside painted, pictures hung, clothes STILL being put away, and landscaping.  Our biggest project has been planting some trees.  We live in a newer neighborhood, and unfortanately with a new neighborhood means NO trees.  And right behind us, they are about to start building some more new houses...sad, I know.  So because of these new houses being put up, we bought some trees to make kind of a natural fence out of them to help shield us from the soon-to-be neighbors behind us.  We have spent the past week outside, and neglecting the inside of our home.  As much work as this house has been, we are definitely enjoying seeing the results of all our hard work.  We are getting closer and closer to finally being settled.  So here are the latest House Happenings in the past week.....

This is me ever so excited to once again, mow a lawn.  Although my face doesnt really show it in this picture, I actually enjoy mowing the lawn.  Its quality "Lynsee" time.  I dont have to listen to any kids or nobody in that matter.  Its just me and the lawn mower and I like it that way.

 This is the new Japanese Maple we planted.  They actually are really cool trees once they get bigger.

 This was the tree I got to pick out.  Its some kind of Weeping Cherry Blossom something Tree.  Its really pretty in the spring time, full of flowers, and when they get bigger, they get more "weepy" and pretty.

 Mikes BIG project has been planting our "shield" trees.  Here is Mike and Addison digging a hole for one of the trees.  I thought this was a cute picture of the both of them digging together.  

 Dig Dig Dig

 This is how the girls have been occupying their time while mom and dad work in the yard.

 In this picture, Addison is demonstrating how we ALL have felt at the day's end everyday this week.  And YES, she REALLY did fall asleep like this at the top of the stairs...sort of funny, here.

 She is passed out.

And there you have it.  I hope to get some updated pictures of our house soon.  But as previously mentioned, I want to post them all when everything is DONE.  We are getting closer so hopefully sooner than later I can get the pictures up b/c I am really excited to show this place off because we LOVE IT!  And its that adorable!  So soon, very very soon.
