Grass Growing 101

Recently we started growing grass in our front and back yards.  We planted our first set of grass seed over the weekend of September 17th.  The whole process took a lot of work but we are hoping to see great results!  Since the beginning we've had to put more seed down from time to time because we have some pesky squirrels that like to dig up the seeds and straw!

Here are some more pictures of all the grass growing in our front yard...hopefully it will keep growing in nicely!  Aside from the squirrel holes!

Peter's 30th Birthday Bash

I'm a little outdated on my posts considering I started writing this one about a month ago but I will try to be better!

Peter's Birthday weekend was a huge success!  We had a wonderful time with Peter's parents, David, Megan, Jules and Josie and are so happy they were able to make the long trip!  Here are some pictures from the weekend.


"My Peter"...Jules and "her Peter"
Juliann frequently refers to Peter is this loving way.  It's too cute!



Josie loving the zoo and getting tickled!



The Spike Arnold "Ellington/Palmer" station at Peter's party, which was a big hit of the night!



Beer tasting for the beer guru...I picked 6 different beers from some of Peter's favorite breweries for everyone to taste!

 



The Ellington Crew...pretty good looking bunch:)
