Memorial Day weekend was a pretty laid-back, but enjoyable weekend spent at home. Jeff suggested taking a trip, but after all the traveling we've done, I preferred to do things around home!The kids had fun playing outside, and have re-discovered a fascination for bugs.
Lots of bike riding, scooters, and playing basketball, soccer, and tag.
We decided to try out the local zoo. Even though it was extremely hot, we had a good time and enjoyed seeing all the animals.
Matthew loved the giraffes, Jacob and Caleb liked the Rhinos- especially the new baby that was just born.
Emily loved the little squirrel monkeys- she kept squealing and laughing at them. It was pretty funny.
Making dinner at home and bathing the baby at the same time. Emily's new favorite!
We also did some work in the yard, and on our garden. We don't really have a great place for a traditional garden, so Jeff built a few garden boxes. The kids were great helpers.
Emily loved to be right in the middle of everything. She was cute, but she kept trying to eat and play in the dirt. She wold also squeal and scream when Jacob and Caleb showed her the worms in the dirt- it was cute until she started trying to eat those too. Gross! (She tripped over backwards and landed in the box- she definitely earned herself a well-deserved bath that night!)
Our three cute boys!

Yay for you guys! Seriously we are so excited for you. I love, love, love the kitchen sink bath time!
So I don't even recognize Matthew! He has grown up so much! The house looks beautiful and I love the garden box. Ben got the book "square foot gardening" for christmas (gardening in boxes) and built us two boxes but then we haven't had the time to get dirt to fill them to actually grow anything..I guess that will happen next spring :) baby steps! You will have to show us what you end up grwoing
Your new place looks so nice! I hope you like it there!
Garden boxes are the best! Less weeds. Yours looks great, nice work!
