Beautify your surroundings

That's what we're doing. This morning we went out and got these flowers and planted them here. Before these, we had some trays that we tried growing strawberries in but they all turned to weeds. It was ugly and now, we just love to stand outside and admire the different flowers and colors. It was so fun to pick them out.

Our rose bushes are really taking off. I got these on clearance for half price. We planted them between each Iris plant. I love the vibrant colors!



I'm now 12 weeks along and to my surprise the morning sickness is over! I thought it was going to last to 14 weeks. so glad it didn't. As long as I eat on time I'm okay! i'm starting to show. I'm not quite big enough to switch to maternity clothes. It will be fun when I am (until that last month! it's the worst) because I think my maternity clothes are alot cuter than my normal ones. hahhahah

HEre is one of the sun dresses I got. This is my favorite color besides green. I love this color! I don't know why it never occured to me until now that I could wear a dress during the week. For some reason I always had it in my mind that dresses are for sunday. Now, I wear a dress almost every day. It's light, comfortable during the 90 degree weather.

Jack and Ginger are proud of their new sunglasses. Jack is also proud of his new toy story shoes and new shirt gramma faye sent. I just think he looks so cute here. His little boy leggies are so cute!

Haven't posted much about Chester so here ya go. He's getting big and heavy! He's really good around Gretchen. He's excited when we first come outside but when he gets over the initial excitement of having our company he is very calm and great with the kids.

Nice to see what you're looking like these days, Summer. Cute dress. Yes, I like wearing a dress around the house in the summer when it's hot (which we really haven't had here, yet!) It's loose and comfortable. Remember my moo-moos?

Pretty flowers in your yard. They make such a difference in how a place looks. Your grass looks so inviting, too. Great place to relax...and in the hammock is just perfect! Chester looks so cute and not such a puppy, now. Thanks for posting all the pics. You got two little movie stars in their sunglasses! : )

If I could find cute dresses that were long enough or even more casual skirts that didn't need to be dry cleaned- I would wear them more often too! I never think to look for that when I'm out shopping, but you're so right- they are SO comfy- esp. when prego:)

You are so cute Summer!! Your dog did get big fast! And I am so envious of your yard and all of your pretty flowers and plants!! Hoping to get there someday:) Oh... and I discovered one pregnancy how much I loved wearing dresses, or skirts rather much more than anything. For me it just took being beyond, beyond hot to discover how wonderful a light summer skirt can be:)
