~ aNd wE'rE baCk tO pReSenT tiMe! ~

So, I'm pretty much caught up with blogging! Yay for me!

The most exciting thing I have going on right now is a tomato.. Yes, a tomato! Caleb's mom got me a couple Purple Cherokee Heirloom Tomato plants(my absolute favorite)for mother's day to put in my whiskey barrell..

Our whiskey barrell used to have a pine tree in it. However, I killed it. :( I kill pretty much any plant I put my hands on. That, my friends, is why it's so freaking exciting that I actually have a tomato!!!

See it???

Caleb and I also invested $3 on a cat nip plant for Pepper at Walmart last night. Pepper is slightly addicted to it. We have to keep putting it up on really high places so he can't get to it because I'm afraid he's going to overdose.. 

 Caleb didn't believe me when I said Pepper would eat it. He thought he would just "smell it." Haha.. silly Caleb!

Lastly, Caleb has been pretty slow at work the past few days, so he made this for me while he was bored...

It's kind of hard to see with all our grass, but it's a flower made out of horse shoes. How cute is that??

We are enjoying our summer so much! We have a lot of fun stuff planned and can't wait to go camping and start enjoing our warm (finally!) weather! :)

~Spring Break So Far~

Spring break has started, which means two weeks off work for me. WahOO! I haven't been doing too much yet, but here are some pics of what I've been up to so far... First of all, my giant, fat, cat Pepper and I have been spending some quality time together.

He looks so sweet and innocent right? Well, poor Pepper got a sore on his lip while exploring the great outdoors while at Grandma's house. So, being a concerned mother, I tried to examine this sore to make sure his lip was not going to fall off. However, this is what happens when you try to look at something he doesn't want you looking at...

He trys to claw your stinking nose off! This picture does not depict the damage very well. I took it about two days after it happened so it had healed a little. Oh man did it bleed and sting. So much for quality time eh? Luckily for the cat, I kind of like him or he would've been taken to pasture, as we like to say in the country (code for shot and killed for you city folk). 

On a brighter note....

Today I went with my mom to get our hair done. It was a lot of fun going together. Much to her dismay, I told her we had to take pictures so her sisters could see! :)

Before

After

My most favorite part about these pictures is that I am the one taking the picture, but notice I am looking at the lense. My mom kept looking at the screen instead. Silly goose. Anyway, I'm sure more adventures will be coming on my two week vacation, so stay tuned! ;)
