My Little Precious!

Lance and I do not have any kids yet, but we do want at least one in the next couple of years. We are having so much fun with just us right now. However, we do have this little dog that we love as if he were our child. We actually call him our son...I know we are crazy dog owners. So, since we love him so, we thought we would post some updated pics of the little guy for all to see! I just love him to pieces!

He loves to ride in the car!

The Azalea Trails of Tyler

Well, Lance and I finally finished our backyard. Yeah, you're right, we wish!! This weekend marked the 5oth anniversary of the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail. There is a historic part of Tyler with older AMAZING homes, and every year there are about 7 different homes that are part of the Azalea district that open up their Garden's for the public to walk through. These are honestly some of the most beautiful, well put together gardens I have ever seen. Flowers are not my expertise, but Azalea's are GORGEOUS! I know most of you think of roses when you think of Tyler, but roses pale in comparison to Azaleas when the new blooms come out in the Spring. I mean they have a district of homes that are named after the flower! Everyone's homes are just about full of Azaleas, and I just love them!! Here are some pics of the tour. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

Now that is A LOT of Azaleas!

An up close look at the beauties!

Just a cute little house.

Valentine's Day

Since we are farely new to the Tyler area, we don't know of all the best restaurants just yet. A co-worker of Lance's told him of a place called Jake's that is located in downtown Tyler. Lance scoped the place out, and made reservations. This was all a suprise to me, and we really couldn't have gone to a better place! The atmosphere and food were so amazing! We had a really great time! Along with a great dinner, Lance had gone to a florist in the area and asked them to make me an arrangement of Peonies, renuculas and others we used in our wedding that I LOVE so much. I have such a wonderful husband! They were/are GORGEOUS! I am not much of a flower girl, but I do have a few favorites that really make me happy! Needless to say, we had a really great/simple valentine's day! Here is a pic of the flowers...

They are SO pretty!

Ahhh...I have such a great husband!
