Who new?

Who new what a blessing our very own backyard would be? We LOVE it. It is the best feeling to say, "go play in the backyard!" The kids love playing out there and I love having at least a few minutes to myself! We are so lucky that it is totally fenced in so we don't have to worry about them wandering off. I can't wait to get a trampoline and a sandbox, but right now they are content exploring together.

Here they are making their own fun. They dragged these boxes over to the steps and jumped into them! They thought it was great, and Ella even blind folded herself while jumping:) Who needs a playset??
I spied on them while they were having a "picnic."
Hiding in the trees
This is my favorite part of the back yard. The SHED. It is so nice to have the extra storage space!

We also have this super nice jacuzzi. We just need to have someone come out and get it running for us. Then we can have people over for hot tub parties!

It will be fun to slowly add to the backyard and make it a fun place for the kids.

I LOVE having the backyard for the boys to run around in.... they get TONS more baths now that they have a hill to climb :) but it is awesome!!! I remember many many hours spent outside in your backyard as kids. or the bushes in the front yard :) fun times wish I could let my kids run the streets like we did
