Yard work

Mowing the grass and yard

Friday we had to get the yard mowed and ready for the big BBQ on Saturday. Colin was very interested in what Shelby was doing while watching him with the weedeater. When that part was done and Shelby was ready to mow I took Colin outside with his mower and he was in heaven. He followed Shelby all over the yard pushing his little mower along side. He was so funny because he had to go in the same direction as Shelby. No matter where Colin was, when Shelby got to the end of the yard and was ready to turn around Coling would frantically turn his little mower so that he could be mowing in the same direction as Shelby.

The yard is looking really good now. All the trees are budding out and things are growing and popping up everywhere. The flower bed garden is all planted and cleaned out now and the wildflower garden is starting to show signs of various things growing in. The BBQ went well, the weather was gorgeous. Shelby and his friend/coworker were up at 6am getting all the meat (ribs, chicken, pork roasts) ready to go on the smokers and grill. Skylar brought along his dog Bailey, the Boxer we puppy sat for over New Years. Colin was super excited to wake up and see a dog downstairs, even more excited to see the guys were going outside so early and he was ready to go with them. He was begging for outside all morning long. There were lots of kids running around and a bouncy house thing in the yard so he was wore out by the time bedtime rolled around.
