Backyard Fun!

We have just LOVED the weather this past week. After being cooped up in the house all winter, we finally got to go play outside. The boys wanted to be outside in the backyard every waking minute. They know when I put on their shoes that they get to go outside. So they stand by the back door and yell "shoes, shoes"!!! So cute!

Here they are sharing the lawnmower!

Now it's Gage's turn.
And now Caleb's turn!
Having a picnic!
I didn't get picture of them on the swingset, but they quickly learned how to climb up the ladder to the playhouse. It was so scary! It's a steep ladder! The first time Gage went up, Caleb followed right behind. I was trying to help Caleb up and couldn't watch Gage, and Gage just went down the slide, on his knees, all by himself! Ahh! But they quickly mastered the slide and love to go down face first on their stomachs! They also love to "jump" on the trampoline and play basketball and soccer. And eat dirt and rocks and sticks! Funny boys - just like their mom, they are happiest when they are outside in the sunshine!
