~A Day Of Firsts~

So yesterday, Dave decided that Hunter might be old enough to learn how to mow the lawn. We let him practice on the backyard. He did a pretty good job for his first time :) When Dave asked him if he'd like to start mowing from now on, he got excited and said, "Yes!!! That was fun!" I just wanted to document it, so one day when he is complaining about having to mow the lawn, I can remind him that he was once excited to do it. :)
Another first for Dave and I are that we planted a garden for the first time. We have been talking about doing it for some time, but neither of us really new where to begin :) We decide to start with a small garden to get the hang of it first. We planted strawberries, pumpkins, grapes, tomatoes, watermelons, canteloupe, peppers, corn, and snap peas. Mckell was in Heaven! She is our little gardener, and can't wait until things start to grow. So we shall see if Dave and I have the "green thumb" or not. :)

we had kasen try to mow the lawn a couple of weeks ago also. it really is sad that they are growing up so fast and able to do this chore. but at the same time it just so happens to be a great reward for the parents to be able to pass off some chores. dawn told me that we should just not tell him that is is work and maybe it will always be fun.

good luck with your garden!!
