Spring is Officially Here!

We had such a beautiful weekend!!! Hope you all had as much sunshine as we did-it was between 65 and 70 the entire time. If the whole summer ends up like this weekend, I wouldn't complain a bit! We spent pretty much the entire weekend out working on the yard. Dave and his friend RD managed to get the gravel spread for the kennel and it looks awesome. We'd hoped to get the lot lines cleared and leveled for the fence, but the ground is still too wet and the bobcat kept getting stuck. They even managed to blow a tire trying to get out of one hole. We'll have to rent something else and try again later. I swear we're never going to get this yard done!!! I had a little more success working on the flower beds and moving the raspberries to a new area around the side of the house. Fingers crossed that I didn't kill everything!!!

Owen kept busy digging around in the dirt, playing on the gravel pile, blowing bubbles, and drawing with chalk on the driveway.
As you can see, he's invented a new Xtreme sport. He drags his wagon to the top of the gravel pile and then tries to ride it back down!!! Fortunately, we caught him before he did it on his own. He is such a dare devil!!
Owen totally dug being outside all day and wanted to help his dad do everything he was doing!! He loved riding in the bobcat and climbed all the way up into the cab before we noticed him while Dave was strapping it down to the trailer!!!! He has no fear and is super nosey, not a good combination!!
He was super exhausted by nap time both days. On Saturday, I had to bathe him before we put him down because he had mud from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet! Sunday he was especially exhausted and apparently too hot. He never sleeps without at least one blanket!! We ended the weekend with a trip to town and dinner at Shawn's. Dave was supposed to go with all of them to Airplane Expo thing, but we just didn't make it in time. Nobody won the airplane again this year!!! It's got to be our year one of these times!! :O) Hope you all have a really great week.
