Saturday is a Special Day!

So Jesse decided a little while back that he wanted a new kitchen table, which was fine with me! We had a counter-height table, so it made it really hard for me to get on and off the chairs since I'm slightly vertically challenged. :P We had gone to HEB plus and saw a table there that both of us fell in love with immediately. SO, we sold our old table (which we actually just got last October) and went and bought the new table today! Here's a few pictures of it!
This is Jesse putting it together.
Here's the finished product.
And here's another angle.

Lately, we have really been into gardening. With spring/summer coming up, we want our yard to look really nice and pretty. We bought some bluebonnet plants and planted those around our 2 trees in the front yard. I can't wait for those to start blooming! we have also been wanting to start a little garden in our backyard, but this year we won't be able to because of timing. Instead, we bought a little strawberry plant. When I was younger, my grandmother had one for a few summers, so my cousins and I would snack from it all the time. I remember those strawberries tasting so good!! Here is our little plant! You can already see where one strawberry is growing!
Jesse and I have decided that Petunias are probably our favorite flower right now. Our flower bed in the front yard is covered in Petunias from when the builders originally started our flower bed. We thought they would die during the winter, but we were wrong. They have come back in full force and are starting to take over the flower bed. They are beautiful! Here's a picture of them. It's just half of the flower bed. There is even more at the other end of it!

6th Folder/picture

So this is the 6th picture from the 6th folder. Wow! I can't believe how tiny Molly and Rowdy used to be! I remember when we first got them, they would sleep on top of mine and Jesse's chest laying down long ways. Now only their stomach would fit there! haha! They are just so big now from when we first got them! Next month they will be 1 year old!!


Now it's your turn! Have fun!

You have to:
1. Go to my documents/pictures.
2. Go to my 6th file folder.
3. Go to my 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.

Valentines day & Michael's birthday

My little brother's birthday is on Valentine's day, so we always try to make sure his birthday doesn't get forgotten or pushed to the side. It a tradition in our family for everyone to get together and eat at the birthday person's chosen restaurant. Michael decided that he wanted to eat at the Catfish Parlour in Georgetown. It was really good. I thought it was funny that Jesse's chicken fried chicken came out in the shape of a heart. My dad quickly informed me that they always do and it wasn't anything special. Haha! Oops!

I do not know what is wrong with the men in this family! Haha.
After lunch, Jesse and I were going to run to PetSmart to pick up a few things for our doggies. Jesse said that we needed to make a quick stop before we went there. I had no idea where he needed to go. So before I knew it, we were walking into Kay Jewelers. This is the same place we got our wedding rings and we have become really good friends with Karyn who is a sales lady there. Jesse told me that I could pick out a necklace from Jane Seymour's collection. Here is a picture of the one that I picked out. I love it!!

Pre V-day Surprise!

It's been awhile since I have blogged. We have just been so busy. It's nice to finally start slowing down and actually take in everything that is going on.

Last night, 2-13-09, Jesse and Ethan Mittelstadt decided to lift weights and have me watch the Mittelstadts' daughter while they work out. Later in the evening, the guys sent me to pick up Kelsie from work in Georgetown. Kelsie and I laughed about how the guys sent me and we were joking about them being lazy. Well, whenever we got back to her house, there were roses on the sidewalk leading to the door. Both of us were like, hmmm... what are they up to? As we opened the door, we could smell that they had been cooking. It smelled so good! They had the lights down low and candles lit and rose petals all over. It was really sweet. They cooked us some lamb, mashed potatos, and steamed veggies. Needless to say, it was really sweet of the guys and they caught both us completely off guard!

Here is a picture of the table.
And just FYI, that is not wine on the table, it is Martinellis! haha
