Weekend Projects

Here are some of the weekend projects we have been doing over the past month...

I apologize for the picture being so bad, Sam took it!! It is supposed to say Openshaw, just in case you can't read it... We broke a whole bunch of tiles up to make this. It looks better in person! We are going to hang it up on our patio in the back yard.

Backyard is slowly coming along! Here is the sidewalk that Sam is working on. It is big pieces of tiles pushed into cement. He still has to grout it but it looks really really good! I can't wait for our backyard to be finished.

This should have been only a weekend project, but 2 1/2 years later I finally finished it! This is a sampler quilt that I made in a class that Brittany took with me my Junior year of College. Sam hung it up in our hallway and it looks pretty good from far away!( Sam took these pictures too)

I bought some material to do a rag quilt this past week, so hopefully this next one will not take so long.

Our new minivan

Before Sam & I got married, we promised each other we would never own a minivan. So, this is as close as we will ever get to a minivan!! This is the new truck we got this weekend.

And the backyard fun continues....

We got some more progress on on our backyard! Thank you Dad, Tammy, David, and Anthony for your help!!

Sam finished the grass/rock border a couple of weekends ago, so my dad came down to help him put in a sprinkler system. This is what they did.

Talk about confusing...They used a trencher for most of the yard.But Sam did have to dig under the cement border.

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE SPRINKLERS!! A step closer to the grass I am so excited for!
Our trees also got planted this weekend.

They started out hanging on the wall... Then Brayden ventured out into the middle of the ice..Coltan being a good big brother. Look at Em' go!!After a long day skating!

Golf, Backyard, Garden & Crash

The last couple of weeks have been kind of boring at our house, with the exception of these few events...

We went to the driving range

Sam finished the border for the grass in our backyard. He is going to put in the sprinkler system next, then we can PLANT GRASS!! YEAH!

Hopefully our grass and other plants are going to grow better than my garden, because everything except my tomato plans died! I purchased them at the Home Depot because they have a 1 year guarantee on all of their plants, so I took the dead ones back and here are my new ones... I think they didn't have enough sun, so I relocated my garden to another part of my yard and hopefully this will work out better...

This is my tomato plant that has baby tomatoes on it!!

A couple of nights ago we were going to the gym and this is what happened....

Ok, so Sam really didn't do all that damage. Well, he did it, but he didn't physically do it. We were driving along and the sun was in a really bad spot, the vehicle in front of us stopped and we didn't have enough time to miss them, so this is the results!!
