This weekend we had my niece and nephew Kylee and Rylan over because it was their parents anniversary, and because we haven't had a sleepover with them in a really long time. So what did we do while they were here? Yard work. We've got curbing and a sidewalk coming on Tuesday so we really didn't have too much time to spare. So while the babies slept, Ry and Ky helped Trev and I with the yard. They were such troopers! I told them they could stay inside and watch a movie/TV but they insisted on helping! Even when the babes woke up, we all spent a little time in the yard finishing things up.
Here's a picture of Ky girl helping to pick up weeds. She's in her soccer uniform because she had a soccer game earlier in the day where she score TWO goals! Way to go, Kylee!
Here's Rylan raking. The kids took turns shoveling, raking, and collecting weeds. How fun.
More yard work...
Even Brooklyn decided to make her presence. She was quite content on my back, although it made it a little difficult to bend over a lot. She is such a sweet little girl.
Jace had a ball outside in the dirt. He wanted to be right by dad helping him with whatever he was doing.
He loved his little shovel and rake, but preferred the bigger tools...
Anytime we'd set the tool we were using down, Jace would run over and pick it up and try to help. He would pick up handfuls of dirt and put it in the shovel so he'd have something to dump in the wheelbarrow.
We had such a fun weekend with Rylan and Kylee. Even when we're working in the yard, we still have fun. Brooklyn and Jace love to play with their cousins and Ry and Ky are so good with the kids.
As a side note, we did have some fun while Rylan and Kylee were over. We went to the park and had a picnic in the park and played for hours. We also had a movie night with lots of treats. Of course, I didn't take pictures of the fun stuff!

I think your little Brooklyn is almost exactly 2 months older than Morgan. Looks like you guys had fun! You're so lucky to have family around you. One of my favorite memories as a kid is working in my step dad's HUGE garden!
Aren't there child labor laws or something?...JK! I can tell that your yard is looking nice. HOw's everything else in Syracuse?
I'm glad you got a picture of Trevor in there because I was wondering if the guy was still alive. It looks like you guys are whipping that yard into shape.
I can't believe how fast those kids are growing. Rylan looks like he's 14.
What troopers! Looks like you kept plenty busy, can't wait to see the yard as it comes along.
Great pictures...we love 'em all - thanks! It makes me think of "A day with Grandma" in the September Ensign...you don't need to spend a lot of money to be with them - just be with them...read the story - you'll love it.
