Wedding Shoes

Since Jill was home for a long weekend, we decided to tackle some wedding "TO DO" items.

So far we have accomplished the "Save the Date" magnet mailing, ordered the wedding invitations, ordered the favor boxes and purchased wedding shoes.

Check out the bling on these shoes!!!

Palm Tree Trimming

Jill and Josh were home this weekend.
Doug and Josh worked on the '96 Camry Friday night, to repair a sensor error.
Josh was then recruited to trim the palm trees on Saturday morning.
They desperately needed a trim and Doug does not do ladders!!
We completed it in record time and Doug told him to pencil in this date for next year!

Thursday, April 16th was Mom's last day of radiation treatment for breast cancer.
Texas Oncology office in Lewisville was the location where
Mom went for radiation treatments for 6 1/2 weeks.
Friday, April 17th - I treated Mom to a hair cut and style.
We did a little shopping and then headed home where Jill and Josh
had decorated and prepared for Mom's
"Breast Cancer Survivor" pink party.

Mom is shown here with her pink things.
Pink tulips, pink cookies, pink cake, and a big
pink basket filled with all kinds of pink candies, pink fingernail polish,
pink votive candle, pink lipstick, pink pens/pencils, pink notepads/memopads,
pink bubblegum, pink lollipops and a pink feather boa.

Bathroom Floor Remodel

Last Saturday afternoon (April 4th)
Doug, my dad and I went to Floor & Decor

to pick up some marble tile for the master bathroom remodel.

Below is the PILE OF TILE we chose.

Below is Doug's progress on removing the linoleum from the master bathroom floor.
He has a little bit in front of the french doors and the toilet room left.
I imagine we will have to start using one of the other bathrooms soon.


I think he will be happy if he never sees a linoleum floor again.
Oh wait! We still have the kitchen to do!!

Found 'em

The baby doves are not missing after all.
They have been found walking around underneath the hose reel.
Maybe they fell out or were pushed out!!
They don't appear to have "flown" the nest just yet :-)



New Fence Gate


The wind has been blowing alot lately!!!!
The poor old fence gate finnaly started coming apart after one big wind gust that slammed the gate shut. Doug and my dad are shown here, rebuilding the fence gate.
Good as new now!

























Empty Nest

Well I know you are all probably tired of seeing the dove photos...but it's very interesting to us to watch them up close.

Yesterday, Monday April 6th. The two baby doves were left alone in the nest all day.
Last night it was to get down to 27 degrees and the parents still left them alone.
They are shown here, wondering what they are supposed to do for food and warmth.

This morning, Tuesday April 7th the nest is empty.
I guess they have finally decided to see what is beyond the hose reel.
And no...they didn't fall in the pool and drown.
