We have the most messed up yard on our block. I guess it goes with the 100 year old house we are fixing up. Our sidewalks are so worn that when ever there is a large gush of water, the front yard fills up. Well we had quite a rainstorm a couple of weeks ago and this was what my front yard looked like.
The water reached my front porch this time and it has never done that before. But it was kinda cool to see how fast the water filled up the yard and it only rained for about 15 mins.
And here are my kids playing in the puddles. And yes I have bought them a swimming pool, they sometimes prefer to play in the dirty puddles. Kids like mud more.
In may Brent and I rebuilt our crappy flowerbed that was in the front yard. I planted some flowers knowing that I might move them in the fall, or just rip them out if I don't like them. The gardener at the nursery told me it takes about 5 to 7 years to really develop your flowerbed, and then after that don't ever think your completely done. So I am prepared for that....but what I wasn't prepared for, was this flower (I can't even think of its name). The tag said it was suppose to attract hummingbirds, and instead it is a beehive.
I went to water it and I was seriously attacked by a swarm of bees. They are all over these plants and I only have 3 of them. The part that sucks is that I planted these right by my front porch. So when I'm on the front porch I have bees flying all around.
I like the color and Brent does too, so we think we will move them on the other side of the house. It just scares me when the baby starts heading towards them with a shovel in his hand.
Ry had a field trip to the fire department in Pleasant Grove. They all loved it. Rylee saw one of the firemen had a bunch of stickers and after that her attention was completely gone. I think she asked him a million times if she could have a sticker.
And she finally got her sticker. We had fun with all of the kids and then all of the kids went to the park to have a picnic. They loved it!

So my little guy is around 16 months old and he still only has 2 teeth (on the bottom gum). I keep checking the top ones, and they look like they are just starting to come in. Then yesterday when we were playing in the backyard, I lifted him upside down and he laughed really hard. And to my surprise he has 2 freak'n molars! Now I have never seen a child get his 1yr molars before they get their 2 front teeth. No wonder he has been cranky, he was cutting molars.
On thursday Nate and Sarah were married at the Mount Timp temple. It seemed like everyone there was so excited that this day had finally arrived. They have been engaged since Feb, which is a long time in Utah.
