In the Backyard

The kids love to be out in the back yard and on nice days will spend a good portion of the day out there playing. Right now it is pretty much just dirt but at least it is ours so we can do what we want with it when we have the money and time. We did extend the patio and planted what I refer to as our twigs. Along the fence are now 7 small fruit trees but in time they will grow. Alan's uncle Robert send us a Costco card for Christmas and we wanted to pick something with it for the whole family to enjoy and trees seemed like a great idea. Seems you can find anything at Costco. We purchased three fruit trees an apple, pear, and peach which are now referred to as Roberts trees. The orange tree in the first picture is our G&G tree (Grammy and Grampy, Alan's grandparents) as we purchased it with some money they sent us for Christmas. Lawrence has been a big help and even dug the entire hole for our Tangerine tree all by himself. He has also been helping to water them. In about 2 years we will hopefully have some great fruit to enjoy!


Here is a picture of the girls swinging. The only problem with our swingset is it has just 2 swings so it seems as if someone is always left out and can't wait for their turn to swing again. Laurel's hairdo is courtesy of her sister who styled it for her. She though Azaria did a great job on her crazy hair.
