The tulip killer, before his life of crime

Category: My son Trey | Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 1:28 am

I just thought since I started a blog on my pets, I better start one on my son Trey. All of my family lives in Texas so they don't get to see him very much, so I figured this would be a good way to let them see some pictures of him. These are kind of old ones, but they are too cute not to post! Just thought I would share!
These are when Richie was building my bed for my tulips. If I had only known what Trey would do to them when he was 2 years old. He is 16 months old in these pictures. He sure was trying to "help" Daddy!









This picture was taken at a family get together at Richie's aunt's home.


I will add some more pictures later! Let me know what ya think of these!!
Take care!

My other babies

Well, since my mom put pictures of Oreo on here, I figured I would put some pictures of my other babies on here. I have 2 cats named Buddy and Maggie. We had 2 dogs, but both have passed on. I was pregnant with Trey when we had to put my dog Tucker, a Yorkshire Terrier, to sleep. Being pregnant and having to put him down wasn't a good combination. I think I cried for 2 months straight. We also had a Black Lab named Zach who was mainly my husband Richie's dog. Richie let him out to go potty one morning and he didn't come back and scratch on the door like he always does.It was 5 am and like 15 or 20 minutes after Richie let him out, the sheriff came to our door and said he had just ran over and killed Zach. My husband cried for months over him as well. So we have decided to wait to get anymore dogs til Trey is a little older. But we still have our kitties! Our first cat we got was Buddy. We got him 2 months after we got married in 2001. He was in the city pound and was going to be put down the next day,but we saved him. He is such a sweet cat! Then there is Maggie. She doesn't really like people, except us. She has to have a few days to warm up to you. She really doesn't like Trey and he has only caught her once and that was because I held her so he could at least pet her. She is a calico and a very snobby cat. :) But we love her anyway! Here are a few pictures of them all.

Here is a couple pictures of Zach





Can you tell who's dog he was?


He sleep with Richie and I most of the time. He is laying on Richie's legs in this photo.


He helped Trey learned to sit up on his own. We would prop Trey up against him and Zach would just lay there.




Here are a couple pictures of my baby Tucker. I loved this dog!


He hated to be woke up!This is the funniest pictures I have ever seen!








Ok, now out cats Buddy and Maggie. Maggie is the calico and Buddy is the fat one. :)




Like I said, Buddy is the fat one!


I'll have to get some more pictures of Buddy and Maggie. I have some, I just can't find them right now.

They are green!! Or at least most of them!

Category: My roses | Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 4:54 am

Well, I have been trying to take some pictures of my roses and other flowers for the last few days but it has rained everyday that I have tried. I'm not complaining, considering Montana has pretty much been in drought status for the last 6 or 7 years, but my tulips sure don't need anymore water.(Just ask Trey) But today it didn't rain, just stayed overcast all day, so I got a few good shots. I actually have 22 rose bushes, I think I had posted earlier that I had 20. Not that all with live, but a couple I always say are going to die and they turn out the biggest blooms every year. I'm also including a few other flowers and shrubs that are blooming as well. Let me know what ya'll think! If there is anything that ya'll know that I can do to help my roses, please feel free to give me some advice! I will take all that I can get!

My neighbor calls this shrub a Snowball bush. If anyone knows the correct name of it, please tell me. It is my favorite thing in my backyard.


A couple of closeups of the snowball bush




My Irises are starting to bloom!




OK, Here are my rose bushes.(Sorry so many pics)





These are a couple of the bushes that I never think are going to bloom. Eventually they do.














This is one of the roses I planted.Can you tell?


Another one I planted


Yet another one I'm guilty of planting




Another rose I planted. I really wanted this one to live. I LOVE white roses!




I'm afraid this one has no hope...








This one has bloomed every year we have lived here. I'm not sure what happened to it, but maybe it will make a comeback. Doesn't look to promising though.


Ok, not that I bombarded ya'll with photos, I hope I get some good feedback. I am really enjoying this website and I'm glad I'm a part of the fantastic four along with my cousin,sister-in-law and mama.
Here we come to save the day!!!
Take care ya'll!

Here is a pic to show how brown they turned



Here is a picture of the whole tulip bed in all it's glory.. or not



Another pic of how brown they are.



My poor decapitated tulips.. they never had a chance!



A pic of the water hose wielding, tulip decapitating bandit(With nacho cheese Doritos on his face and in desperate need of a haircut!)



If anyone has any advice on my tulips, I sure would appreciate any!! I also posted some pictures of my rose bushes that are starting to finally come to life.. go take a look!
Take care ya'll!

Well, my tulips turned brown a little...

Well, I think Trey watered my tulips a little too good. :) The leaves on my tulips turned a little yellow and brown all of a sudden. My mother-in-law said it was ok that they just got a little too much water and they would turn green again as soon as it gets hot again, which will be in the next day or two. So, I will post some pictures of them as soon as I shrink them down. Well, it seems like most of the gardners in my family has recently joined gardenstew. My sister-in-law and mom just joined in the last few days. I can't wait to see their pictures!!! Please pray for my tulips!! They look pretty sad! I also have irises that are fixin to bloom! I can't wait to take pictures of those little guys and post them here!! Will update soon!

The roses are starting to grow!

Hello ya'll!

Just thought I would tell ya'll that my roses are turning green and starting to grow. I was afraid that they weren't going to come out this year, but they fooled me again. A couple of the rose bushes aren't looking to good, but it is only like 2 of them out of 20.. yes I said 20 rose bushes. I didn't plant them all. All but 4 came with the house when we bought it, so of course 2 of the 4 I planted are dying. That's ok, I'll just wait a week or two and see how they are doing and if they are indeed dead, I will replace them. So hopefully I will start getting some rosebuds on the bushes and I will take some pictures of them and update them as they grow. Hopefully some of ya'll can look at each picture and tell me what kind of rose each bush is because I have no idea what each of them are. My tulips were violently attacked yesterday by a 2 year old little boy named Trey armed with a waterhose. :) Boy, he sure did have fun though. But,all is not lost.. I still have a lot more that hasn't bloomed yet. I'll write more later!

I didn't kill my tulips!

Category: all my tulips | Posted: Fri May 12, 2006 12:02 am

Hello Everyone!
I am new here so I will just kind of explain about my tulips. I got them as a birthday present and I planted them and prayed that they would bloom in the spring. Well, I pretty much kill anything I try to grow, so I was really suprised to see my tulips survived!My cousin is a member here, her screenname is jubabe296 and she told me about this website. So I thought I would post a few pictures of my yard,some lilacs and my son with my tulips. I will hopefully be posting some pictures of some roses I "inherited" with the house my husband and I bought in 2002. So far they are still blooming every spring and I can't wait to see what they do this year!
Take care!
