We have been spending a lot of time outside lately. It has been warm for the last two weeks up until yesterday. The boys have gotten tan and are wearing shorts. They love being outside. The other morning I was outside weeding and the boys were playing on their bikes and my friend/neighbor (and the love of both Doran and Brock's lives) Kenzi texted me to look across the street at the park and the picture above is what we saw! There were tons of deer! It was pretty cool to see. I didn't know deer even came this far down into the valley.
Jayce slept over Friday night. When I woke up this is what I found. Doran is a cuddler! I don't think she was very happy about him laying on her!
A little bit later Brock came out and laid on her too! They are watching Bakugan which explains why Doran wouldn't even look at the camera. This last week he has been saying "My name is not Doran, it is Dan." Dan is the main character in Bakugan. He has had many names: Astro Boy, Junior (Dale Jr.), Battle Force 5 which was later shortened to Burt, and so on!
This is pretty cool! I brought the bikes Santa brought the boys outside now that is warm and Brock knows how to ride it! He will just get on a peddle away. I don't know when kids usual learn how to peddle but Doran still can't figure it out so we thought it was pretty fun that Brock did!
Look at him go!
Last year I posted a picture of a peacock on our house. That night I realized it wasn't that cool when I heard how loud they are! Well this was our neighbors house this morning! There were 6 peacocks just hanging out on the front and side of their house! I had to take a picture!
Ok we are starting to finish the back yard. I decided to take some pictures. I never put pictures of our progress last year so I figured I would now! This picture was taken when we were under contract. It was a jungle!
Here is a picture of one side looking down from the porch. We put in the concrete curbing last summer.
Here is the other side. We also put in mulch last summer with the help of my brother Ry-cracker. Way better but I still need to plant some flowers. I hate yard work!
We had the backyard graded a few weeks ago and brought in dirt and had it trenched. He also trenched the strip up front and we will put grass there when we do the back. Saturday Seth and our neighbor Adam laid concrete in our back yard and this little square up front so people can walk up to the house without stepping in the mud until we get grass. I think it was a great idea Seth had to put it there!
We put road base on the side of the house to extend the RV pad back. Hopefully in a few years we will be able to have it be concrete all the way back.
Here is the pad they laid outback! I think it looks so awesome! I am excited for the yard to be done so the kids can play on it and maybe have a table out here so we can eat too! I am glad we had a neighbor who was willing to help and did such an awesome job! We are gonna owe them big time!
Here is the back. I wish I would have taken a before picture of it too. It was a jungle! Weeds were taller than the deck! Once the sprinklers are in we will probably grade it one more time so it is smooth and then on to the sod! We can't wait to have a backyard!

Wow! All the work you've done on your yard looks amazing. That will be fun to sit on your back patio.
That's great that Brocky can pedal. I don't think Jayce could until she was 3ish.
It looks like your going to have your hands full with the boys this summer, we hope to be apart of it!
You have done so much work, it looks great! ALso, from your next post, Doran loves the picture of the worm when I show him the letter W. He gets so excited and yells worm!
