Oh, the yard work

Since it has been raining the past couple of days I am feeling a little restless.  So my thoughts have turned to yard work.  We have been working on the yard while the weather was nice.  This last weekend we started the boys with weeding.  Connor was initially not impressed with the idea, but finally warmed to it.  It was nice to get the backyard cleaned up.

I finally let Garrick outside.  I have been kind of waiting for him to start walking so he doesn’t get all dirty crawling in the grass and mud.  Oh well, when do kids ever go by their parent’s schedule?

He not only found the dirt, he enjoyed eating it.  

Now, I just have to post a picture of the infamous tree.  Dan decided to prune our trees on Conference weekend.  He told me he was going to be “trimming a few branches” (Yes, his words).  Then I looked out my kitchen window and saw this:

 

The tree used to be over 20 feet tall.  Needless to say Alicia lost it.  My family is still laughing over it.  I do find a bit of humor in that it looks like Dan is giving me the finger.  Oh well.  That’s all I can say at this point.
