Growin' Up



Here are some pictures of all the work we've done on our yard lately. We've done A LOT of work around here in the last few weeks. Brice's parents came out and we leveled the rest of the front yard (you would not believe how much work that is!) and put in sod and a tree! Brice and I love Weeping Willows, so that's what we decided to get. It's a tall, wispy thing, but they grow fast, so it will be big and beautiful in no time. And a big thank you to William and Angel for helping with the sod and leveling, too. It is SO nice to have grass! No more dirt or weeds or thorns. Yay!
And here are Raelin and Ryker practicing their baby wearing skills. I carried them in a sling carrier when they were babies, so they wanted a baby carrier for their dollies. Can you tell they are excited for a new baby in the family?
Ryker is our little helper around the house and the yard. He loves to help cook and unload the dishes and he likes to "wash" the dishes, but that mostly just means he likes to play in the water and make a really big mess. In the yard he loves to water things. Here he is watering our long row of sunflowers.

Look at this amazing girl riding a two-wheeler all by herself! For family night on Monday, we went to the park and helped Raelin and Ryker practice on their two wheelers. Raelin had been really close for a while and open space was all it took! Now she's riding like a pro and she loves it!

800 degrees outside and she still wants to be out riding her bike! I love it! Ryker also made some progress. With some practice, he'll be riding a two wheeler soon too!

So fun to see your beautiful family! Congrats on another one on the way. Sounds like things are going well for you guys. Love your house and the sandbox is great! The kids always love the water, don't they!
