summer

 Three little monkeys with their bananas...

Clayton's faces crack me up.

The boys have been practicing their basketball skills. They're getting pretty good!

 I've been growing, and growing....I guess I should say the baby is growing. And this was a month ago. I don't think I've gotten that much bigger since then, but when my belly is already that big, it's hard to tell. :)

 Finally getting to the landscaping along the back fence. It looks SOOO much better now that there are plants back there. Our yard feels more cozy now.

 I supervised and pointed where I wanted the plants to go. And planted some of the bushes, after Tyler dug all the holes. Poor guy.

The big boys were good helpers, wanting to dig and pushing the wheelbarrow around.

 They have been doing a lot of this, as well. When the weather is nice, they spend a couple of hours out here every day.

 "Cooling off" in the evening. Even Tyler joined in. :)

 Our summer has been fun so far. Busy with projects and activities. Trying to keep myself busy before baby comes!
