Spring "Break"

Well, this week has been wild and crazy but lots of fun. It seems that we cannot help but do major house projects over spring break. So even with a 2 month old, this year is no exception! Austin built a corner garden with the girls and then everyone (including visitors!) helped lay sod in the half of our yard formerly filled with weeds.

*Edited to include "garden" photo and carnival photos



Mariana sports "big pigtails" in honor of Aunt Karen, Jake and Jared visiting



Thanks, Jake, for helping!

The girls enjoy their first trip to the carnival










The garden...this new one has a nectarine tree in the middle and flower seeds planted (hopefully to bloom in a month or two) as opposed to Austin's other garden with a grape vine and pepper plants.

We want photos of the garden! Let's see the chile peppers and everything else! I'm so jealous of people who have a normal-sized back lawn - unlike us and our scrunched-up, steep-sloped, weed-infested backyard that forms puddles and has ZERO room for a REAL garden. I can't even put a play gym in the yard because it would have to sit on an incline and topple over.....most likely onto my wimpy garden.

Agriculturally, I have to live vicariously through people like my Dad and Austin.
