We had lots of fun last Saturday. The weather was nice so I went to Depot and bought a bunch of new plants and flowers for the front yard. This also includes what I thought was a tree and after planting it found out it will be a "large shrub".(A large shrub in the front lawn ~ yea, interesting I know). Oh well, it probably won't grow out here anyway so I'll give it some time!
I have found that I LOVE working in the yard. Digging in the dirt and planting new things has become something I really enjoy and look forward to. So Mike did all the other yard work while I planted and the kids played. I recently took the kids to Toys R Us and let them pick out their first car so they played on those mostly all day. Jake got a 3-wheeled scooter and Kenzie got a Barbie bigwheel. Oh yea, they have turned into a big deal. Jake wants to ride the bigwheel and Sis loves the scooter. After a while it warmed up more so the kids got in their swimsuits and we turned on the ever so large owl-head sprinkler. Jake always talks about "running through the sprinklers" so we thought we'd give it a try. This is the scenario:
Intently watching the small sprinkler. Testing out the water drops.

Lounging....Tanning.....kind of watching the sprinkler.....just being a girl
Testing it out with an empty plant box. Kenzie enjoys filling various containers with various things all day long around the house.......food, toys, food, shoes, food, etc.
Running in circles around the sprinkler. I had to jump through the first time with him but we won't show those pictures. Believe me, you would rather see the kids do it.
Finally, a test run. Sis never did run through but she enjoyed watching from the sidelines.And finally, is it ok to be jealous of my little sweet baby girl? She was born with great skin that tans well, like her grandma. Why didn't I get that from my mom?

What a fun day, your kids look so cute running through the water. Your grass is soo green!
I love gardening too. I just get frustrated that a lot of things do not grow well out here. I bet your kids loved to play in the water. I am excited to do the same with Elsie someday!
Ok the lounging pictures are hilarious. I think your yard looks great. I may come up again in a couple weeks to see how things have changed. I enjoy gardening also. It's fulfilling to see new growth even if something doesn't make it. And your lilac bush will look fabulous right there.
What a great day!! Your kids are adorable. Ever time I go to your page one of my girls always says, "I love Jake. He is so cute!!"
Hi Kristina! These pictures are so cute! Finally, we're getting some great sunshine, great to get out isnt it!
