Spring fun without mom

I have been taking 3.5 mile walks at night and since its been warm (a little windy though) Brett has been taking the kids outside to play after dinner while I am on my walk. Last weekend we drove up to Logan to get the climbing dome. And a couple of weekends before that we went to Orem to pick up the tractor tires. We have 4 more just haven't set them up yet. All the branck piles are from the trees we cut down and have yet to chip (waiting for our tax return). I am so incredible grateful that we have a house with a huge yard for the kids to play in. Even though we have taken 3 trailers of yard stuff to the dump we really haven't even put a dent in what we have to do. There is ivy everywhere that has to come out, there is a BBQ that once was very nice but due to neglect will probably be destroyed and behind that is a rock waterfall but its so full of dirt and spruce needles that is will probably only have flowers now. I would take the whole thing out but the base rocks are concreted together. I'm not even going to mention the pond. Its going to take a lot to clean up this spring because we didn't cover it last fall. But we don't have to worry about anymore walnuts falling in there. We took off the last live limb. We also limbed up the other trees so the kids could play. Brett rigged the tire swings so they are like the ones at schools, luckily he put a swivel hook so they can't spin until they puke (like I use to do). While I was on my walk last night Brett was pushing them on the swings and Khloe and Gage collided and Gage went flying. Not too injured though. The kids love to play outside and I'm grateful for that!Jett and Khloe on the climbing dome

Spring Time!.....almost












I'm so HAPPY that its been warmer lately so we can go outside and enjoy the sunshine! My daffodils are blooming, the kids are getting dirty and Belle is running around. This is by far the best time of the year......well except for the surprise rain and snow storms we get this time of year. We have been working hard in the yard and have made some progress but we have a LONG way to go. Give us about 3 years and we will have the best yard in the neighborhood.
I LOVE SPRING
