My cute Ladybug

Gotta love Kindergarten.

Breaking in the riding lawnmower

We finally got to break in our riding lawn mower and cut the Grass for the first time since planting it last fall. Woo-hoo!

Or should I say, cut the weeds. Lets be honest here.

Holy crap, we've got an acre of weeds.

But we sure had fun playing out in the yard on the trampoline and playset while Dad buzzed around. It brought back memories from my childhood with the smell of the fresh-cut grass and the sound of the lawnmower. Those are some of my best childhood memories with my family, staying up late on those long summer days, playing in the yard, not having a care in the world.

We had a fun day together. Dad even gave everyone rides on the lawnmower. (Too bad there was no one to take a picture of Mom getting a ride on Dad's lap!) Anyway, here are some of the kids:

Winter in May

We woke up this morning to this:

A chickenspot you say?

Jacob: Mom, look, I gotta chickenspot.

Me: You mean a chickenpock? No Jake, I don' think you have a chickenpock.

Jacob: Yep huh. Yep I do. Look right here, a chickenspot.
