The Great Outdoors

This is our first year having a full backyard and we are enjoying it to the fullest. Asher begs to go outside constantly. At first it was a bit annoying, until I found out that the more he is outside, the less mess he is creating inside. Our friends, the Grossnickles, just got a new swing set and gave us their old plastic climbing toy/slide and Asher and Maddie think it is the best thing ever. Thanks Janna and Peter!


Asher and Maddie sampling the local 4 star rocks. Seriously, why do my kids like to put the rocks in their mouths. They both do this constantly.

Our Lilac bush finally bloomed. Asher smelled the lilac bush in about 10 different places and said "mmmmmm" each and every time.

Hey Honey, before the kids finish off all those rocks, can you box some up for me. I'll be running a little late tonight and I would hate to miss out.

I am so glad the weather is getting warm. We were all getting stir crazy. We went to Wheeler farm today with the neighbor, just to get out of the house.

That is so awesome. Did you guys put a fence up? I couldn't tell if that was yours or not from the photos. Does Asher eat dirt? The boys do. They love it. Crazy toddlers.

We just have the parts of the fence that the neighbors have already put up. We are installing our fence on May 10th. I am so excited!
