Yard Work/Leaves

We have been working hard to make our new house our own. Last year we were remodeling the kitchen/living room and the outside got a little neglected. So this summer and fall we have painted our trim, got rid of some ugly bushes and dead trees, and planted new trees and flowers. Our last big project was to make a new path from our mailbox to the driveway. The last one was just packed down dirt and rocks and got tons of weeds. We put cement pavers down and seeded the dirt so hopefully we will have new grass around the path and our newly shaped flower beds. Fingers crossed this will make it tons easier to mow next year. It looks great! Luke found a little salamander friend digging in the dirt. Ryker tried to pick it up and squish it with love. Jax was a little more wary. He couldn't decide if it was cool or scary. 

Stormtrooper Jax wasn't happy the paparazzi was taking his picture. 

 After finishing up the walk we got to work getting the yard ready for fall. I cut got rid of all the dead flowers and weeds in the alley while Luke and the boys raked leaves in the back yard. It was too much fun! The boys thought it was the best thing ever to jump into the leaves.
