Landscaping 101

Indeed it's time to start a project that took us all of four years to complete.  Thinking about doing it again and what a labor or love it is, is a bit overwhelming.  Many of you know, that Craig is a self taught professional landscaper.  Not that he is a professional landscaper, just a self taught Pro scaper (the man has a love for it and he is such a visionary, just saying)  I personally had not realized the labor of love he undertook at our old house until the last couple of months before we sold and we constructed a flagstone patio together.  It wasn't until then, that I realized what he had created for his family.  Anyways, I plan to post as we he goes along with pics and all.  Be patient, very patient, because this will likely be a 4 year endeavor.........

A New Boat.....

We are so spontaneous. After waking up at the crack of dawn yesterday about 10:45 a.m., Craig wanted to take us to The San Antonio Boat Show. We spent three long hours at the show scoping out all the new boat models and giving my husband an itch to buy a new one. (I prayed the entire time that the newness of his boat had not worn off) The three hours we spent there was indeed long enough for the girls to run/crawl around and cause Londyn to periodically go into one of those "I'm so tried" crying fits. Afterwards, we decided to go to the "Free" Boat Show at The Bass Pro Shop were we enjoyed dinner at the Islamorada Fish Co.; which I must say offers the best seafood in all of San Antonio. My sister Harmony also joined us there for an adventurous stroll through the store with the one and only Alexis Lynn! After an absolutely delicious dinner we shopped around a bit and then headed home and hit the sac at nearly 11 p.m. We did not awaken until 11 this a.m.! Clearly the day before had wiped us all out! Enjoy the pics that highlighted our adventurous day out with dad!

Alexis Lynn Arrives

We'll, I just figured out how to record a VHS tape onto a DVD. So, if you look over there ------> on my right sidebar you will see the newest element I've added to my newly rendered blog design. Alexis's birth was featured on the local news as she was the 1st baby born on the one year anniversary of 911 in SA at the Methodist Hospital. I'm delighted that I figured out how to transfer, convert to mpg and have the video hosted on a third party site so that it will be kept save forever.

If you plan to view the video, remember to go down to my music jukebox and pause the music.

I just couldn't wait until Sept 11 08 to post it!

New, Sassy & Whimsical Bloggie Design by ME!

This blog brought to you by Me!
If you visit this site often, then I'm sure you have noticed that I have a sassy, whimsical new look! I was really getting tired of looking at my blah, unperonalized blog. I wanted to dress things up myself! So I relentlessly began to searched the internet, for what seemed like months, until I discovered everything I needed to know. I thought about every element I wanted my site to have including a personalized header, signature, coordinating paper, a perfectly matching color palate, music and much, much more. Now, I need to mentioned that my wonderful sister-in-law, Christine (love that girl) began blogging a couple of months ago, with my encouragement, and she too wanted to join in my quest for the perfect site. We began to share the information we had found with each other until we were equipped with everything we needed to become web designers ourselves. We both love the look of a scrapbooking page without all the mess. Now, I just love my new blog design!! It's exactly what I had envisioned when I began journaling the lives of my girls in, "The Princess Diaries" almost a year ago. It is my passion to capture the lives of my family through stories and pictures. I love that my precious, Alexis Lynn & Londyn Paige will have a treasure of diary stories to read when they are grown. I also love the fact that I can change the look of my blog at anytime as they grow. I no longer feel the need of employing a web designer to give me the look I want (the last resort). I hope you enjoy visiting my site! If you have my site linked to your sidebar be sure to update the url address. Feel free to bookmark this site and leave me some love by leaving a comment to let me know what you think.

Enjoy,
