Beautiful Late Summer Day

Our yard has come a long way since we moved into this house, it is still a work in progress but for the first time we're starting to see more green than dirt! This is also a picture of our swing set (or as the boys call it, our park). We were blessed to have this swing set given to us by a really nice family we met through Craigslist. This has really been a fun addition to our yard. It took a few months but now both boys can climb up and go down the slide on their own! (The swings are flipped on the top because Bauer chews on them. ) Now if we could only teach the boys how to pump on the swings they would never come in!

Bauer, our fabulous dog. While he has not made getting the yard in decent condition any easier (pulling up new sod, digging out our bushes and breaking branches off of our trees) he has been a fun addition to our family.

Pretty Dog (sorry Bauer, handsome dog)

That look says, I'm up to something!

Who would have thought, a patio table with a hole for the umbrella, and a lava rock could be a basketball and hoop? Only to my little Chasey!

Trying to catch the 'basketball' (ie: lava rock) as it falls through the 'hoop' (ie: hole for umbrella)

He shoots, he scores!
