Okay, this is a really random post but this whole blog is random and I am trying to catch you up! Sorry for a bit of immodesty on Carly's part but this was her first towel wrap on her hair after a bath. She was very excited and proud of it. She said she was a nun! Her hair is getting so long that unless I do this to her hair her jammies end up soaked on the back. 
Next, more yard work. These are Scott's new/old toys. This being our first house, we didn't have any lawn care equipment. But, this being our first house we didn't have a lot to spend on such things with all of the other expenses and just having moved. So, one Saturday morning Scott braved the flea market. He said there were so many to choose from and just when he thought he had his mind made up more vendors would come and set up shop and lo and behold they would also have a lawnmower. He finally decided on one and was able to haggle a little with the guy and got a mower, weedwhacker, and edger for $100! They aren't perfect but they work and get the job done. He doesn't say it but I think he really enjoys going out and working in the yard. It makes me glad our yard isn't any bigger though because it takes a long time to do just what we have. We all appreciate his hard work and enjoy the fruits of his labors whenever we go out.
As you can see we have been very busy in the front yard. Here the boys are helping to pull out
some bushes that were growing around the trees in the front yard. They really enjoyed jumping on the shovel and digging and pulling them out. After taking out the scraggly bushes around the trees our front yard really seems much more open (and less friendly to all manner of wildlife). The same for the bushes right in front of the house. For those of you who never saw a picture of what it was like before they were bushes like what is behind Taylor in this picture. They were huge and blocked so much light. We are liking the openness it gives to our front living room.

Yeah I am so glad we don't have a yard to work on yet! Our front yard of desert landscape is REALLY easy to take care of! Maybe someday I will have to trim up the bushes! Oh and when we do get a yard in the back hopefully John can do as well as Scott on his shopping for yard care tools! That was a smoking deal he got for all those! So when are you going to go on my sight and comment on my fabulous blogs?
