This week has been a fun one for us. Earlier this week the weather was so nice I went out and weeded one of our flower beds. It actually is going to be our vegetable garden this year. We're holding off on doing a lot of new things to our yard until we have $$$ and a good idea of what we want to do. Luke LOVED being outside with me. He ate dirt, crawled all over the place, and spread weeds everywhere as I plucked them out of the ground. It was so much fun! I love, love, love having my own yard.

The one change we are doing this year is finishing off the fence in the backyard (thank you tax return). Hurray! The installation guys came on Wednesday to get started. Brandon and I are both so pleased with the results and we are so thankful we hired this job out. It is so labor intensive. I'm also glad we chose the company we did. Not only are they local, but we discovered that the installation supervisor lives right behind my parents in Payson. Fun, fun times.

This is Luke doing what he loves best. I typically have this cupboard tied shut with a rubber band (a super cheap way to baby proof your kitchen), but he somehow caught me when I had the rubber bands off.  He was completely stuck there and he wouldn't move forward and he was too scared to move backward. Being the good mother I am I rushed over to get the camera and started snapping pictures like crazy.

Brandon had Friday off from work this week so he decided to do a little project in the kitchen. He is replacing the caulking around the laminate counter top. I just couldn't resist snapping this picture of him having fun.

Finally this is a project Peter and I started today. We got this fabulous idea from my April edition of Martha Steward. We are working on coffee filter daffodils that we will put jelly beans into. Yummy! The only downside is the filters take forever to dry....so worth it though. Peter loved dipping the filters and the cleanup was so easy! The food colored water wiped up so easily - particularly the splashes Peter got all over the floor :-)
