So basically we spent all Memorial weekend gardening. I guess you might say landscaping our front yard actually. We had these ugly evergreen bushes that I wanted to get rid of so Peter and Dan did it for me. Dan's mom (Dr. Mom) Helped me plant flowers and bushes and such. She was giving me Martha Stewart gardening tips all weekend. Now what I learned is , I in no way like to garden. It is dirty and sweaty and there are bugs and it is gross. I love the way it turned out but I would much rather have someone else do it for me. Dr. Mom says she gardens to relax and I have to say what we did Saturday and Sunday was not relaxing...It was sweaty work! But I am glad there are people who want to do it because then my yard would not have turned out so nice. We also planted a maple tree in our front yard. There is a special story behind this tree. You see when my mom was pregnant with my brother Max we planted a maple tree. Well my parents moved out of that house and Max and I were upset that we couldn't continue to watch the tree grow so I took a part of it and planted it in our yard! I am so excited to watch my tree grow:) Anyway here are some pics of the festivities!
Here is Dan and his brother don't they look handsome in their work boots!
Here is my sexy hubby pouring some ice tea. He worked hard he deserves it:)

It's beautiful!! I love your lovely yard (especially the flip flop stepping stones!)
My mom got me those as a house warming present...hey by the way I put the wrong zip code on Andy's b-day card so it got sent back to me...but I resent it so he should get it soon! miss you!
Andrea, I agree that I would love to have someone else do my gardening for me. I find other things way more relaxing than being out with the bugs and the weeds. :)
That's one of the coolest gnome's I've seen. He's totally lounging! I want a garden gnome sooo much.
