Memorial Day Weekend

We had some fun times over Memorial Day weekend! The first was when Mike mowed the lawn. We have been saving our grass and putting it into our garden to help keep the weeds down (and then to mulch it into the soil later in the fall.) Mike was putting the grass clippings into the wheel barrow, which soon resulted in a grass fight with friends.

Little Miss M getting grass to throw at Little Man.

Grass was flying everywhere!

The aftermath. A bath was definatly needed this evening!

This is what Baby K thought of the grass fight!

Little Man loves helping out with Baby K. He loves getting his binky, swinging him in his swing, bouncing him in the bouncer, and lately, changing his diaper. After the incident when Baby K peed on Little Man his first couple days home from the hospital, Little Man has steered clear when changing diapers. However, this has recently changed and Little Man wanted to help. Since his help is very enthusiastic in other areas and borders on possibly hurting Baby K, we are happy to help find calmer ways he can help. {grin}


Gotta wipe really good!



Baby K was excited this diaper change was almost over!

 We soon headed to the desert to have some fun. Mike has a bb gun that he has had from when he was little. He has now told Little Man this is his (I wonder how he will be when he finds out he gets to share this with his brother when Baby K is bigger?) This is the first time he got to shoot it andhe was excited! Mike helped him hold it, but Little Man pulled the trigger. He was pretty good and got the targets!

My boys having fun!

No outing would be complete without digging in the dirt!

Mike then got to take Little Man on a ride on Grandma and Grandpa Proctor's 4-wheeler, something that he loves to do! Imagine his and Mike's surprise when the 4-wheeler started and it imediately jerked forward? Little Man had the throttle down and they enjoyed a rather jerky ride forward. Little Man was scared and now knows he doesn't touch ANYTHING on the 4-wheeler! He did enjoy the ride that daddy took him on afterwards though.

I love that Memorial Day signals what fun we get to look forward to during the summer! Here is to summer fun in the sun!
