Bringing home a piece of Paradise... Part 2

After the tree is finally loaded, we are set to head to Bham!

Once back, TK had to dig this huge hole- we live on a mountain- so it is not easy! OUr neighbor Robby, even came over to help.


The tree is so big and heavy- it took 5 grown men to roll it off the trailer. Once it was off- TK watered it and prepared the hole for planting. Coming soon is a picture of the tree in the ground!
So... after 3 days- and a lot of work on TK's part and others- we now have a palm tree in our yard- close to the house in the flower bed- we are probably one of the few in central Alabama.

Bringing home a piece of Paradise...... Part 1

TK found a palm tree at a palm nursery in Destin- right outside of Seaside. He tried to talk himself out of buying it for 2 days, but couldn't. Little did I know how much trouble it would be to bring home!


So, we call 3 UHAUL places and finally find a trailer that we can take and leave in Birmingham.


We go back to the palm nursery 30 minutes away and they dig it out of the ground- or should I say pull it out of the ground with a bobcat. (a piece of machinery- I am learning!)

Then, all the guys- prepare it for the trailer and a 4 1/2 hour ride home.

Beach Pictures

Trying to take beach pictures.......

Trying to take beach pictures of two little boys is very hard! Jaxson wanted to run around- straight to the ocean- and Brantley was tired of smiling! We did get a few cute ones though!

SanDestin and Seaside Pictures

This past weekend we took a beach trip that was so much fun and greatly needed! We had a great time doing nothing, playing in the sand, and walking on the beach. We loved every minute of it!

From Snow to Sand in 6 days!

I hope we dont get sick! We went from snow on Sunday to sand on Friday! It was great to get away, now I just want Spring to come even sooner!
