isnt this beautiful? this is our back yard.  we live at the corner of the housing development so this brick wall is the back of the sign for the development. our landlord has someone do the yard for us so it looks nice. i LOVE the big trees behind us, it is so nice to look at all day long. i feel like we are out in the woods, but we are only a half mile from a main road. so GREEN!

Mothers day was lovely. both justins mom and mine are in california ( not together) so we spend the day with our own children. i went to church by myself (which was wonderful. dahlia and valen have been sick so i didnt want to take them ) and then went shopping for some clothes. when i got home justin had the kitchen spotless and a gift for me on the counter. so sweet. and dahlia told me happy mothers day. she said

"appie mommy day"
