Out door fun

So as Tyler and I have been working on the yard the kids have been enjoying tromping through the mud and putting sand all over the yard... well mostly in a pile outside the snow covered sand box. We had a few beautiful days last week and the week before that we were able to get 3 and a half garden boxes done and our fence up! Progress is beautiful! I can hardly wait to plant grass and flowers, but I guess that will have to wait. The weather isn't that warm yet... Plus there is the shed to build and rocks to place for a path around the garden box and we want to do a terrace flowerbed up front and possibly a small one around back. Our yard needs lots of work but it will be beautiful when it's done or at least a lot better looking than now. :) We have been working on the inside as well. Last month I got both bathrooms painted and painted a blue accent wall in the living room. Tyler has been working on the plumbing and starting up a tree business. First he has to have trees so he has 243 seeds planted in our unfinished basement. I wish him luck on his tree journey. He just barely wondered about what he is going to do with so many trees if no one wants them. :) It is a wonderful life indeed even though it has it's moments! Both kids are growing and learning so much. Addison can do very simple math and clark is really working on talking and communicating. He has started doing signs like "more" and "help". Sometimes he will say an entire sentence and it is clear as ever what he said but most of the time he still doesn't talk much. He is going to start talking in full sentences one day and our mouths will drop to the ground. Well I have a few more pictures to post....
