Updates

We had Jacob's birthday party over the weekend and also celebrated Jim's birthday. Since their birthdays are only 2 days apart, this week is always a festive one!







We always try to take family pictures on the kid's birthdays.












All 6 grandkids


The Paniagua's


On another note, we had some landscaping work done in the front and back. We are getting the boys a playset for the backyard but had to get the ground leveled out before we could set it up. Pictures coming soon. Since the landscapers were here we had them clean out our front beds. We have never liked the yard/beds at this house and felt the front beds were too crowded and needed a little TLC. We are also putting down a stone border which should be done within the next few weeks. More pics of this soon. Here are a few before and after pictures as of now...

After- We are still deciding on what to plant nearest the sidewalk to fill in the open space.

  1. The yard looks great. I can't wait to see the final product next time we come over. The kids will love the play set and I'm sure Jackson will be happy to play on it too. :-) Looks like you guys had a great time at Jacob's birthday party. I'm so sad I had to miss it. :-(
