My Daily Reason to Smile

Just because we think she is so darn cute...here are a few pictures of our Libs.
(These two pictures I caught just at the right time. Don't know how I got those smiles on camera but I did. She sure melts Jedd's and my hearts.)

(This is her teasing me not wanting to look at the camera. She is too smart for her age sometimes! She giggled right after this and I was laughing so hard I didn't take pictures of it. Darn!)
(This is her showing me that she finally got part of the camera that I was trying to not let her have. Sometimes she is such a stinker and she knows exactly what she is doing. But we sure love her!)
(This is her focused/concentrating face. Look at that tongue! She gets this from her daddy.)

I need no more reason than to just look at her face and my day is made!

It's finally GREEN not Brown

...........our yard that is. After a year and a half of living in our home, we finally were able to put everything together and put in a sprinkling system and grass. I love being able to see GREEN and not brown dirt when I look out the window. In fact it still doesn't feel like it is actually our house that has green. It is still a muddy mess everywhere, but I tried to get a few pictures without walking on it.
The front view:

The south side. This side yard is huge and we love that when our kids grow up they'll have a big area to play in.
The north side. We are close to our neighbors but both of our houses have garages right here so we never hear anything. And having this north side be so narrow allows us to have the south side big.
This is the best picture I could get of the backyard. I could only stand on my deck, but you get the idea.
Next year will be the fence. It seems that our budget for the fence went to Jedd's medical bills this year so next year we'll put something up. Luckily both our neighbors decided to do fences this year so all we really need to do is our backyard and finish the sides to our house.

Anyway, we are LOVING our sod...soon to hopefully be grass that is growing like crazy. Once we stop watering like crazy and it stops being a muddy mess out there, Libby and I can go play and be outside. I'm so excited!
