Mommys Mission!

Shannon brought me a ton of rocks for the yard and I FINALLY got some time to put them in the yard! Vincent loves the new rock walls. They are the perfect height for him to sit on!

Last year my mom went to a Lily farm and got seedlings. A lady there cross breeds them and sells them. You are able to name them too! So, My mom gave me one and named it "Grammy's Buddy Boy". We couldn't wait to see what it looked like. 2 weeks ago it finally bloomed! It is a beautiful Orange color and it has a hint of Yellow inside!

This one is for you Grammy! I told hime to smell it, I think he was hungry cuz it looks like he is going to eat it! LOL

JULY 1st!

I cant believe how fast this year is going by! Its already July!!! That means, Vincent will be 2yrs old in a month. :0( Sniff Sniff! Thinking that is it July and all, I thought it would be nice and hot out......its a little chilly today but we still got to play outside and Vin got to enjoy his swing!

Fire Cracker

Shannon bought me this beautiful Red Fire Cracker plant a couple years ago. They say that it attracts Humming birds. So, I planted it close to the house thinking that it would be awesome to see those little birds! Well, a couple years went by and nothing! Last year, While at his Aunt Carolyns house... We saw one! Those were her favorite birds. So, I was hoping to see one by our house. But no luck :0(........... Until YESTERDAY!!!! I was doing some yard work and all of a sudden I hear this little buzzing.... Sure enough it was a little Humming Bird! Everytime I see one I think of Carolyn! We miss her so much and seeing that bird made our night!

Spike

One morning last week, I heard Chopper barking like a mad man! So I went outside...mind you it was 5 am and still a little dark out. I went by his kennal and what I thought to be a garbage bag was a HUGE snapping turtle!!!! His shell was over 12in long! Just look at those spikes on his tail!!! Crazy!!!!
