Around the...Yard

Having two little ones we spend TONS of time outside. We take a walk or bike ride almost every day. The girls love being outside and I love that we all get a little sun and exercise.


Blake is old enough this year to be "in charge" (and trust me she likes to remind us) of watering the plants. The reality that these red flowers are still alive is a testament to her diligence :) Flowers and plants usually have a short, hard life if I am in charge of watering them.

So proud...

Have I mentioned on my blog that we have an A+, Number One, PERFECT neighbor? (Like, replacing my garbage disposal before Nick could even get home to look at it/ fixing our fence when it blew down a few years ago, amazing.) He is a generous and caring soul, honestly. I love him like he was part of our family. His name is Vern, he lost his sweet wife, Carolyn, last year and is Blake and Kate's honorary Texas Grandpa. Here are a few pictures from his yard (that we frequently take over.) If we ever do move my greatest sadness will be leaving Vern. We often joke that we will have to find two houses for sale next to each other so we can take him with us.

So there you have it, a look around our front yard...maybe next time we'll do the back yard!
