Enjoying the outdoors!

This past weekend was both wet and beautiful!! We had rain pretty much all Friday and most of the day on Saturday. However, Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day. Brent got to spend most of the afternoon playing some golf and the kids and I played outside for an hour. The kids have really started to enjoy playing out in the front yard and, of course, our steep driveway! This makes a great little hill for them to ride their bikes down or the tractor! It always fun!! I have a video of Jake riding his tractor down the street. It's quite hilarious to watch. He has way outgrown it but, still insists playing with it.

Today Hannah and I went on our weekly shopping trip to get groceries. While we were there I found an Easton glove and ball set!!! We have talked about putting Hannah in T-ball with her friends this fall. I wanted to see if she would find it fun and see if it would even be worth it. Turns out, she really likes it. We threw around some grounders together this afternoon. She's pretty good. Although, there was the occasional distraction...butterflies and birds!! She would stop and say "look mommy...aren't they pretty??" Oh well, so maybe she is the kid in the outfield searching for caterpillars. That's okay. I caught a couple of pics of her anticipating the ball!! Pretty darn cute!

Also, I took some pictures of all of my beautiful landscaping the back yard. It really has come full force this year. So beautiful!
