Happy Friday-Eve!!!!

 This has been a short week for Matt and me so we can't complain. We had a great weekend with family. Saturday my mom and dad came up from Hillsboro. Mom and I went shopping while the boys worked on the flower box that's in the front of the house. Matt had put cedar over the brick and we had stained it the other week. So the guys worked on finishing it off and putting wood on the top. It looks way better than it did. Now, I need to stain that top part and we need to get some plants for inside the box. Still, deciding on what plants would do best there. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Its a pretty shaded area because we have a big Magnolia Tree in the front that shades it. Here are some before and after pics.

Hopefully, one day I also want to get our brick painted but thats down a ways on our to do list right now. Next, Matt is planning on building a deck on our back patio....wish him luck!! ;-) 

To finish my story on the weekend, Sunday Matt's Auntie Mel and Uncle Julian came up to Dallas. Matt and I both took off on Monday to show them around Dallas. We took them to South Fork for the "Dallas" tour and showed them some other sites. It was a nice day and we enjoyed our visit with  them. 

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Matt and I  are taking off to Katy tomorrow to go stay with my sister and we are taking Paxton to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday. Can't wait to see my sis and of course Paxton!! I haven't seen my sis and the little bugger since July!!! He's getting so big! I'll be sure to take some pics and will post next week.

Also, I wanted to let you guys know that I have started another Blog. It's called Eat Better.Live Better.Paleo . Check it out. I'll be posting recipes, tips on what to pick to eat while dining out, motivation,  and fitness. I decided to start it b/c I can speak for Matt and me in that we have never felt has healthy as we do now. It's not about a diet...it's about changing your lifestyle.

Enjoy your Thursday and have a wonderful weekend!!!
