Back-yard lovin'

We are for sure one Back-yard lovin' family! We love love love to take advantage of the sunshine and swing set time the afternoon has to offer after a hard days work. Not to mention the humidity and plethora of mosquitos that Arkansas has to offer on any given night, but still it is worth it. The smiles and the memories are worth it that is. Both Ali and Dustin and Grammy and Poppa have such AWESOME back yards, and we totally take advantage of any time we can spend in them-and with the summer came many many good afternoons of just chillin' and watching the kids play on the swing sets and in the yard.

We are so lucky to have great family right around the corner who can stop by at any time to enjoy a few minutes of relaxation on any given night. This makes it fun and allows the kids to see the grandparents and for us to watch them interact. Seth's parents are so good with the kids, of course Grammy is more of the lover and disciplinarian and keeps the peace with the kids, and then Poppa being the "kid at heart" is the fun loving game player that cant be stopped at any cost. He goes and goes until he cant take any more. Needless to say, they make a good fit for the kids and the kids are insanely spoiled because of them. haha( yes I said insanely spoiled-but I aint complaining!) better to be loved than not, right?! Seriously, we love Grammy and Pappa and the time we get to spend with them just relaxing in the back yard. Elem and Cecilia could be content being stuck outside all day as long as their is a slide, and some dirt. hehe.



THANK GOODNESS FOR BACK YARDS!

On a side note, we are currently making plans to "better" our back yard. We have an awesome one as far as size and what not, so next on the agenda is a fence, and then immediately following will be a deck. Hopefully, it will be immediately following. So more to come on the fence soon. I can for see many nice cool autumn nights filled with yummy food grilled by daddy on his brand new grill, with my little family of three in our newly fenced in back yard. Ahhh, cant wait. Just gotta get Seth on board to begin with the project. :) That my friends, will take a little doin-but I am the woman to do it!
