landscaping

5/3- Today the landscapers came back to finish off our yard/landscaping!!  The boys wanted to be outside with them so badly.  I put them to work getting all the new rocks from the court back to the rock area.

The guys were sure patient with Boaz & Cainan.... answering questions, etc.

Myka's new favorite spot in the house.  She can see all the backyard action from here.  And she likes the AC vent!

Since the rock area is finished up, Luke started working on installing the nets tonight.  Our neighbor, Kevin, came over to help.

The guys thinking and planning...  I think some neighbors are as excited about this as we are??  :)

5/4- After almost 7 years in this home, we FINALLY put some bushes, plants, and flowers in the landscaping!!  For some reason, this always got knocked down to the bottom of the list.  We're so happy that our outside is finally looking nice! Cody (landscaper) joked that if we'd done this right away, we'd have nice mature landscaping by now!!  

The boys helped me water our plants today and were excited about their new Yo Gabba Gabba shirts.  

Watering bushes will become a part of our routine this summer... and they like it!!

Playing ball...

With the nets finally installed and the mud pit filled with rocks, we cranked the hoop down to 6 feet and let the boys shoot at it for awhile.  Neither one of them made a basket, but we'll get there!

It's still just a little bit too high.

I predict by the end of summer they'll be making all kinds of shots on this hoop!!

Another concert tonight.  We have multiple concerts each day.  Cainan is really getting into drumming.  (I secretly do hope that at least one of our kids is a drummer!!)  On his first birthday, he had a cake with Animal on it... he reminds me so much of Animal back there banging away and screaming a word here and there.   Just love my little Animal!  :)
