More Blooming Tulips!

Tulips!

My first tulips bloomed today and there's many more to come!! 

Tom's Shoes

Tyler and I heard about these shoe's called Tom's Shoes from our friends store last year, and they're some of the coolest shoes! Cool looking and a cool message.

I don't know if you have ever heard of these types of shoes, but they're amazing. When you buy a pair of shoes, the Tom's company gives a pair to a child in need of shoes. We thought it was such a great idea and it honestly touched my heart and I felt like it was something we should do, because we not only got a cool pair of shoes :-) but we also get to help out two children!

Here are the pairs we got, and I'm really excited to get them in a few days :-)

Go here if you wanna get some, or read more info about them! It's so neat! www.tomsshoes.com

Garden, Continued...

So I decided I was going to plant strawberries, sunflowers and daises in my little garden, so today I planted my strawberries and I'm going to wait a couple weeks to plant my flowers so the frost won't get them, because we're still having some cold mornings.

Before Picture

Ok... So like I said in my last post, I forgot to take a before picture of the nasty garden that I re-did, so I took a picture of all the stuff that we pulled out and put in the trash and stuff... So here it is! A full trash can, plus 4 trash bags full (one is in the other can). 

New House/New Garden!

So, as everyone probably knows, Tyler and I moved in November to a new, cute, wonderful North End house and we're loving it. The past few weeks I've noticed tulips started to come up in the front of my house, so I decided that I wanted to plant more things in the little gardens around where the tulips are blooming. So Tyler and I went to the Flower and Garden show this past weekend at The Grove and I got a great deal on some lilies, at least I think its a great deal, :-) so I bought 20 lilies and planted them in the little spots in the front of my house. Here are pictures after I got them planted and I will post more when they bloom.

So as you can see in those pictures, the tulips are already coming up, and the empty spots are where I put 10 lilies on each side. So I'm hoping that the lilies fill it out really nice!

And these pictures are of a little second on the South side of our house that had a terribly ugly plant in it that looked so old and like it hadn't been taken care of in years. (I'm kicking myself because I forgot to take a before picture) So Tyler and I dug it all up and picked it all out and now it looks so healthy and pretty! I am wanting to plant something there, I just haven't decided exactly what yet. I'm thinking either some cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes and just filling it with fun flowers. So we'll see. Tyler and I are going to go to the store soon and see what I can find. 

I'll post pictures after I get stuff planted and stuff starts to come up. I can't wait :-)

I FINALLY SURPRISED TYLER!!!!

So... I planned a surprise party for Tyler for his "golden birthday" 22 on 22, and I was so nervous that he was going to figure it out, because he ALWAYS figures out the surprises that I plan for him!!

So we had over 30 people respond and say they'd come, so our little house was PACKED with people! But it was so great to walk in to a HUGE SURPRISE and have so many friends, some whom Tyler hasn't seen in years! Tyler was SO shocked!!! It was GREAT!! 

Here are some pictures from the night!

And of course, Rock Band to end out the night :-) We missed you playing the guitar Lisa!!! ;-)
