Well we have been finishing up our backyard. Here is how the process went. When we bought the house the builders "landscaped" to sell the house. Well landscaping a backyard from a builders standpoint meant making an odd shaped piece of grass that is about half the size of the yard and filling the rest with tiny rocks....wow! So we doubled our usable yard area by expanding the grass. We seeded and waited for the grass to grow.
Almost a year later after the horrible Las Vegas heat and when Nathan had enough time off from school. So during our Spring Break we worked hard! We planted 3 trees, 2 plants, and 3 flowering vines. We also made an attempt to hid our 2 AC units sitting right in our backyard, so that's what the bamboo little wall is, we will see how that goes. Oh and did I forget to mention what happened to all those little rocks that used to be in the yard....well Nathan had to move them ALL OF THEM, and spread them around the house....eek. Thanks sweetie! Our grass is sorta growing in and our plants our in, patio is adorable. Thanks Mom and Dad Richards for the flip flop string lights. Yeah our yard is done....still waiting on our grass to grow in fully but we are finished and very happy!
Easter came and we watched Beckhams first egg hunt! Melissa taught us a new technique to color eggs which was totally awesome, it shall be a continued tradition! Of course you can't have Easter morning without curried eggs, so Mike made them for us! Delicious! We got the "Beckham show" wow that kid is a busy body! Although we took babysitting duty while he was supposed to be taking a nap and M&M ran to the store, but he woke up, fortunately I was able to get about 45 minutes of pure cuddle time with the little guy, apparantly a rare occurance and I loved it! He was so tired. Nathan entertained Becks with his "monkey" impression and Beckham became very demanding for more "do it!!" He yelled straight at Nathan when he wasn't getting more "monkey" HAHAHA awesome!
When we researched looking for a place to eat Nathan found this one online called the Painted Pony and the first thing that came up was a picture of the owners. The guys last name was Richards and the girls was PACE!! Can you believe it??? Fate I tell you, so we ate there and it was delicious! Long story short, we both FROZE all night in the little house! We were able to laugh about it by about 3am when I said lets just go home but of course we didn't. We learned that we both enjoy hotels with a phone to pick up for room service of any kind and individual thermostats in each room that we can decide the temp of the room. hahahaha And most recently Nathan sprained his ankle playing basketball, nope not church ball, school pick-up.
