What the!?!?!?


Ok, so remember the end of my last post about the chainsaw? Well...here is what I ran out to find him doing.

He cut down my tree!! Apparently he didn't like it and I told him he could do whatever he wanted. And get this...the tree isn't even in the backyard, it's on the side of our house next to the drive way. I forgot to take a picture of the tree after it was all cut down. Not to mention that after this picture was taken he told me that he needed my help because he needed to use the ladder to get to the tallest branches. So, I (being the best wife that I always am) went to hold the ladder. Next thing I know he has the chainsaw right above my head and the branch falls right on my arm...AND it wasn't a small branch. So now I have a great huge black bruise on my hand and my wrist is a little swollen (I know!).

Anyway, enough of that (maybe I'll take a picture tomorrow of the stump that's left, and the pile of branches that he just left in the driveway)! I know I haven't posted in like forever, but I decided that I might as well post a whole bunch in one day, and then you can't all get so mad that I don't post everyday! Anyway, we finished the day by going to Mimi's Cafe, neither one of us had ever been. I must say it was quite tasty, and they have the best fresh lemonade I have ever tasted, it reminded my of chic fillet's lemonade. After dinner we made the long trek to REI, which I must say, it was quite a white out at the top of the mountain, you couldn't see 100 ft. in front of you. We finally made it to REI and we looked around for all the camping stuff that we are longing to buy and then Brian let me buy a new backpack!! For those of you who don't know we are also taking up backpacking this year and are now all gung ho about it! So, if any of you would like to go on a backpacking trip with us, let me know, we already have a few planned out! We also saw the cutest backpacks for Harley and Ace...I'm not quite sure they would do any good, but they would be so cute with them on! We finished off the night by going to Brian's parents house and watching Invincible with them. Brian's mom got out of the hospital today after having hip replacement surgery, so we also went over to help get her in bed. It was very fun! Ok, I'm going to end this post (I'm going to read more on landscaping and on trails to go backpacking on)!!

P.S. I can't quite figure out how to post two pictures, I mean I can post two, but I can't figure out how to move them around. Everytime I try to post another picture it just ends up at the top of my page and I can't move it...HELP!

Brian is so awesome...just cuts down trees for fun! But, I didn't like that tree either it leaves nasty stuff all over the cars! We are all slowly getting better over here, Carlos and I almost have this strep under control. You gotta let me see your drawing and then maybe I can make some suggestions or whatever. Love you guys!
