Boys and Sticks and Dirt

I'm a day late on this because it is now, as I type, raining again.  But the past 2 weeks have been beautiful here (definitely not typical February Seattle weather) and my boys have rediscovered the joy that is playing outside. 
H put on his boots and found a stick.  K got his new big truck and they went to work. 

While I am less than thrilled about the new mud pile now sitting at the bottom of our slide (of course I told them to put the dirt back when they were done, but apparently hearing and listening are 2 entirely different things), I love watching my boys enjoy our backyard and get a little dirty once in awhile.


This picture has nothing to do with anything, except it was cute. So I put it in.

Nice dirt pile. Maybe you can use it as a new flower bed? It would have good drainage:)

I am sad I missed some sunny days in Washington. The kids are excited to play with your boys now that we are home =).

Oh, BTW I didn't take the pictures of the kids at the park. Jessica did. So you will have to get tips from her.

That picture of Miles is so cute. What a little man.
Sorry I didn't get your message till later, I hope the lava cakes turned out yummy.
And as far as picture taking goes, I don't have any tips other than I usually use the low flash setting indoors and I take a ton!

Hey! Three boys?! Wasn't it just yesterday that Kincaid came into this world? I was so excited that you "ran into me" via blog. That Greenwood Ward sure had a lot of really great people, and Dan and I have frequently wondered about you and Sam and where you ended up. I look forward to following your family .
