SPRINGTIME is HERE. . .

. . . And we have been BUSY, BUSY outside workin' and playin'. Here are the pictures of the FUN we've been having outback!!!


Emma and Daddy planting out Cherry Tree. Emma LOVES to be helping with everything we do outside and she especially LOVES helping her Daddy! Plus anytime she can play in dirt, count her in! Emma absolutely LOVED helping us plant our garden this year, as long as she got to do the watering part. Needless to say, she was drenched ALL day long, but at least she had fun. We have 40 Pepper plants, 24 Tomatoe plants, 42 Potatoe plants, 2 Cucumber plants, 1 Watermelon plant, 12 Strawberry starts, and 6 new Raspberry starts. We are excited for the fall time when we will hopefully be able to enjoy fresh produce from our garden!!! Emma LOVES, LOVES feeding the ducks at a duck pond near our house. I took her for the first time this year a couple of weeks ago and it was disappointing. . . the ducks weren't hungry! Oh well, Emma and her friend Gavin had fun anyways playing and throwing bread in the water.


Zachary even enjoyed watching the ducks swim around and walk along the shore. He didn't care to try ANY of the bread. As far as he's concerned the ducks can eat all the plain bread they want!

Emma and Gavin walking around the pond trying to find hungry ducks.Zachary has been crawling for a while and hasn't EVER minded crawling outside in the grass or cement. This past week he has started crawling around on his toes and hands. It rather humorous and I really don't understand it, but hopefully it will make him stronger and closer to walking!!!
We have also enjoyed the sunshine and warmth while swimming in our backyard. The past week Emma spend 90% of the week in her swimming suit. She helped me pick out this lovely swimsuit from the store, and yes, it had to have the ruffle skirt or else she wouln't allow me to buy it!Zachary even enjoyed time in his swimming suit! This is the first time he's been in his swimming suit and got to get IN the water. He LOVED splashing all over the place and especially splashing on his screaming sister!
As you can see we have enjoyed our backyard and are looking forward to a summertime full of backyard fun!!!

Holy freakin' crap! Are you starting a salsa factory? That's a lot of peppers and tomatoes! Did you dig up all of your lawn?
