Yard completed

Our yard was completely finished about the second week of June. I love having a place where my kids can go out and play. They love it too. The other day, Devin was saying his prayers and he thanked Heavenly Father for our new fence and our new yard "cause its so esciting". It was so sweet and great to know that he appreciates it. Since we had a nice new yard, I wanted something out there for the kids to play on. And because work's been so hectic for John lately, I knew I'd be waiting for a while. I decided to start to put it together myself. Well, I did it little by little in the garage, when I had time and then John helped me carry it out back. I am so proud of myself! The kids were pretty impressed too. One of the neighbor girls came over when I was working on it and said, "I didn't know moms did work with tools." Well, the kids love the swings, and it was worth every sore muscle.

My parents stayed with us for a couple of nights while Erin was off track this month, and they decided to take us to the Living Planet Aquarium. (This picture is of my favorite, Turtles.)

Well, I have never seen Colin more excited! He loved the fish! And he loved walking from tank to tank like a big boy. If I'd known he'd love it so much I would have taken him sooner! (This picture's blurry, cause I had it on the wrong mode, and he kept moving so fast back and forth to see the fish.)
