Happy birthday mom

We went to Fabbioli Cellars this afternoon to celebrate moms birthday. It was absolutely gorgeous out! It was the perfect afternoon to share with mom.

Happy birthday!!!

New, New Patio

We scratched the idea of grass and went for pavers.  The guys did an amazing job and finished it in 2 days! We have been sitting outside and grilling a ton and enjoying our new outdoor living area.  It makes our home feel so much bigger.  This weekend we are going to have a few friends over to christen it!

Story of my life

Happy Easter!

Brett and I stopped by Brenda and Joe's house to see them and Jackie and Dillon.  They are the cutest! I have some cute pics of Brett and Jackie sitting in their new boat and i'll post them when I get them off Brett's Phone. After, we went to Mom's house for Easter dinner. We had apps on the new porch and then Gram cooked dinner. It was delish.  I always love a "mom's home-cooked food" day. So glad we live so close to family!!

The yard gets a makeover!

Brett and I have lived in the condo together for 3 years and have never done anything with the yard. It was just dedicated to Cam as her bathroom.

Well, we thought it was time to be adults and have an outdoor living space. Yesterday Brett hired a day worker from Home Depot and he worked in the yard for a good 4 hours clearing brush, some ugly shrubs rocks and  leaves.  He dug out everything between the stone slabs and then put down soil and grass seed. It is going to be amazing when the grass actually grows.  Of course the week we plan to do this, it is the coldest it's been in weeks. We ordered a set of wicker furniture- 2 chairs, a couch and a low coffee table of sorts.  The 2 chairs came today.  The couch comes tomorrow. We are both really excited for this spring/summer!

I wish i took a before pic, but here is after

All the shrubs and gross things were taken out.  so much better! I can't wait to make it cute with huge potted plants, and perhaps a bird bath. Must choose what to make from Pinterest!
