Home Update!

We haven't been doing a lot to the house lately, but Chance did buy me an outdoor fan because I'm always complaining about how hot it is out on our patio. We also hate the fan in our master room, so we got a new one in there, and moved our master fan into the 3rd bedroom.

Thanks babe...and Matt for helping him with all the electrical work!

We also recently purchased new bikes, since we had so much fun riding in Florida. Our view here is a little different, we had to trade the beach trail for the lake trail. Either way, we are really enjoying them!


I also took a few pics of our flowers in the front yard. I killed my pink polka dot plants by the front door, because apparently there weren't any drainage holes in my planter I bought by the front door. 
 Our potato vines are growing like crazy, so I pulled them up and re-planted them throughout the front bed and closer to the back of the house. Now they are filling space throughout the bed.



Here are the pink polka dot plants, and the ivy that I replaced them with.

Lots of yard work!

We have been working in the yard a lot.  Here are a few pictures of what we've done, and since I'm so far behind on blogging, we've changed things since then, so the new pictures are also below.





I added some Caladium in between the grass. 
I planted a Texas Hydrangea at the end, with some purple and lime green potato vines.



I removed the Marigolds, because they were starting to look sad from all the heat and replaced them with these Celosia's, as well as added some Lily Turf.







And about 5 weeks later:

We also bought a lime and lemon tree:

New Wood Floors!

While I was in D.C., we were getting our floors replaced. I was hoping to come home to a new house, but the crew took off on Sunday since it was Mothers Day. They came back Monday and Tuesday and finished it all up! Below are the pictures of the BEFORE:










And here are the DURING:















One night, a Hummingbird got stuck in our house and Chance had to catch him and release him.

And here are the AFTER:
