Happy May Day!

Happy May Day to everyone! Spring has sprung around the Neeley house. We have been getting some yard work done on a few lovely days we had. Brad has done a fine job cutting the grass and weeding the yard.

I went and got some plants and flowers to re-do all my hanging baskets. I decided this year to do them myself instead of spending more money on ones that were already done for you. This way I could take a little more pride in the work that was done. And as always, Brayden was very excited to help. He planted some seeds in the class recently, so he is an expert gardener now!
We also added some new bark dust or mulch (as Brad calls it) to the flower beds.

Here are a few photos for you all to enjoy.

The backyard.



And the front yard.







Happy Spring to you all!

I love all of your flowers! This is on my list. I am hoping that Mama Carol wants to help me. I don't know where to start!

I had not been since I was younger.  I had wanted to take the kids in the past couple years, but we just did not make it. We had a clear, dry night and took advantage. :)

Moved & Ready for Visitors!!!

Image
We are officially moved people!!!! After a month and a half of constant work in getting the place ready, we have made the journey and came out in one piece for the most part.  We have gotten things unpacked and put in their respective places.  And been finishing up some details in several rooms.  We have some smaller projects left, but the majority of the work is done and the house looks great!  We now have it decorated for Christmas and ready for Santa to make his stop. Brylee would like to give you a tour! Enjoy the pictures: The front of the house: The side view of the front yard: A view into the backyard: The front porch: The Sunroom: The Kitchen (a little dark), but the paint looks awesome!

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go!
