Helping Hands

I have the most helpful little boy! He is so sweet. He always wants to help "stir", "fweep" (sweep), "dishes", "dusing" (dusting), "Asher" (dishwasher)...you get the idea. He will even sing the clean up song with us :)

It's a miracle!

This year we were determined to get our tiller fixed so we could do a big garden again. We did one three years ago but then the tires came off afterward. Since having Spencer we've slacked off but only because we couldn't figure out how to fix the tires. Finally this last week after many, many hours of frustration and hard work by my husband, we finally got the tires on and working. And it actually started right up after being idle for so long. We are so glad it is working and now our garden is huge!
I do have to show my work too... The side of our garage has been infested with weed trees. There is cement but somehow through the cracks in the cement massive trunks have been formed. Jacob cut down all the trees but then I cleaned the rest out. It had become the place where everything blew if there was a wind. And I do have to say I'm proud of myself for making it look better than it has our entire married life!

PS you can totally see the biggest trunk on the right, right next to the garage just growing from a crack. There is also one growing through the chain link fence at the back.
we also planted an apple tree. it's going to be a few years before we get any fruit.
of course you can't forget spencer, he helped play in the dirt. this one is all boy he loves to play in the dirt.

all in all I'm excited to have a yard again and for the nice weather. we can't wait to get things planted. even my daffodils are aready coming up in the front yard.

ps I'm using voice writing no that's why there's no capitalization.

It's almost spring!!!

We got Spencer a swing for our backyard and figured out how to hook it to our patio support beam. He loves it! We've been out almost every day, multiple times a day. Now we just need a slide/climber so he will be entertained while we do yard work! I've also been looking for a bike trailer I can hook behind my bike so I can take him places (mostly the library) without using gas!
