is it summer yet?

i need some sunshine!
this weekend is one to remember. we were busy busy busy all weekend long.
friday night was wonderful. dan and i were both asleep by 10 pm, which was fine with me since i had a busy week with the girls. saturday we woke and layed around for a little while, then started on the projects!
we started with clearing all the wood/leaves off of my garden area. wow, that was a task. dan decided that since it was going to be my garden i should do most of the work. well let me tell you, those leaves were wet and extremely heavy. and my upper back is still sore! after we did all of that work dan got our neighbors tiller and tilled it all up, that was also a chore. saturday night we had a small bonfire with katy & blair, andy & emily, glendon & trisha... it was nice to stay at home and go straight to bed.
on sunday dan finished all of the retaining wall around the hot tub/back patio area and it looks amazing. dan did such a wonderful job and we both couldn't be more pleased about the outcome. tomorrow we will finish laying the landscaping fabric and plant our shrubs, annnd dig up more rock from the side of the house so we can mulch and plant more shrubs and flowers. also, sunday night we planted all of the veggies in the garden. i really hope that they all grow so i can have some delicious veggies this summer.
this week also marks the first week of dan working on his beloved mud trucks... the mud runs are may 28-31.. which will be an eventful weekend. it's so redneck that i can only handle one night. the last few weeks dan and andy have been working on glendons house, until 10 pm? i doubt it... but now theres another project where i won't see my husband on the week days. i've made him promise that he will stay home two nights this week so that i can.... go horse back riding!!!! my mom is house sitting at sue and jims and that means that i can pretend to live on a farm! i love it! i think katy and i are going to bring blaise out there one day this week so he can ride the little pony, precious. plus, we've moved lilly (my horse) out there so now when my mom's house sitting we can ride! i haven't been riding for almost two years and sometimes i forget about little lilly being a part of my family... she's so beautiful and getting so big!

this is my beautiful lilly!

and this is her friend & pony, precious!
