[E] Tomatoes from Garden

My dad were staying with us for few months, and here are the tomatoes from his garden. We still get the tomatoes almost daily. It's been awesome to have fresh tomatoes coming out from our yard! Thanks, Dad! 

[E] Falling Brach

After long rain and strong wind, there's a huge tree branch in our yard. I am glad that our dogs weren't outside when that happened.

[E] Fall is Here

I saw this on my way back home - a cute yellow leaf quietly sitting on the sidewalk. Fall is here, even though the weather has been very weird this year. We had a cool summer and a relatively hot fall.

September to December 2013

Since September, we actually did a lot of activities that I was just too lazy to make a blog. I hope I would do a better job at blogging in 2014.

We took parents to Antelope Island in early Sept. 2013

Sunroom is complete and we enjoy the convenience of having it

Sprinkler System Headache

After we moved in to our house in 2011, we hired some one to do our fence. They broke every possible sprinkler pipes around east side of our house. One USA Unit and I got to learn how to fix those by ourselves since it's too expensive to hire someone to do so. We got everything fixed in spring 2012. In spring 2013, we turned the system back on, and we noticed some area of grass was turning yellow...ugh..yes...2 out of the 8 systems were not working properly.

Fortunately, my dad stays with us so that he helped us to dig out the pipe when we were at work. We then trouble shot the problems together and got everything fixed again.

Dogs were really helpful while we were working, as usual!

Rose on the Dogs

We have some roses in our back yard...and I put one on the dogs :D

Aww...Mr. Dachshund looks so cute lol lol lol 

Mrs. Basset Hound looks cute too...and lazy as usual :)

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 05/21/2013

Hubby's lunch box includes:
Big box:

• Black pepper onion pork
• Garlic cabbage
• Steamed carrots
• Cilantro Polish sausage

Small box:

• Polish sausage with ketchup and mustard
• Some sort of lettuce that we grew 

Preventing Lost KAT

Big white "K"at LOVES going outside, but he doesn't know how to come back home. Because of this, we need to be really careful not to let him run out from home. Once in a while, we will let the dogs watch the Kat lol Neither of the dogs want to do that...so Kat usually gets sent to Kitty Jail (aka dog crate) on the deck for a little bit. 

Yard Sale Fun

I was helping a yard sale set-up, and found something so cute that I decided to buy it right there, right then, although the yard sale was suppose to start on Saturday.

I bought 3 books and a frog pot :)

This book is for One USA Unit, because he loves his Kitty Boss very much and I think the cat on the cover looks just like our cat.

I always draw One USA Unit as a frog, so I feel like I need to bring this frog home.

The frog has a backpack - - - a pot that we can plant things. Super cute, how could I not bring this home?! Especially when all proceeds benefit the rescue group that we adopted our Basset Hound from.

Asian Pear Tree is Blooming

In March, we planted some fruit trees in our front and back yard:

• 1 Asian Pear
• 1 Peach
• 1 Pear
• 1 Plum
• 2 Cherry (each tree has 4 kind of cherries) 
• 2 Apple (1 Fuji apple, the other one I don't remember)

Most of the trees we got them from Costco. Hopefully in the next few years, we may have some fresh fruits!
