Cars & Garden

It's amazing the things you can do once the weather gets nicer. You can actually be outside and garden, wash you cars, go to the park, go on walks... so glad Spring is here.

The SLC Marathon was going on this weekend, and ran right by our house, so we started out our morning by strolling outside and watching the runners for a while. Then we took a long walk because all the roads were closed off. Much longer than we ever walk usually so it felt good; and Luke fell right asleep in the jogging stroller like a good boy. We then got back to the house and Luke and dad spent some quality time cleaning the car together.
 He had a grand ol time playing in the bucket of soapy water
 quick break to check out the birds
And thanks for the hat Rich & Erin. Came in quite handy and is adorable!
 It was so cute to watch Luke copying everything dad was doing
Can't forget to clean the rims!
Pretty funny, when Luke saw Chris with the tire brush Luke would take it and dip it in the bucket, then start brushing his hair! haha. And with the mit to clean the car, Luke would lift up his shirt and try to clean his belly. So hysterical.

 After our the boys car washing sesh we headed over to Home Depot and got some new flowers to plant. We weeded our completely overgrown garden and planted flowers for about 4 hours. And were both very sore  and sunburnt the next day!! Hard work but actually a lot of fun.
This is supposed to be a "before" picture, but you can't really tell how bad the weeds were from it.
planted a bunch of lily's, which I love, and these cool orange flowers
 And thought I should get a shot up of myself at 25 weeks. Getting large and in charge these days, but luckily still feeling well!
Here's our "after" picture. A lot more neat and tidy. We will still need to get a few more flowers but was a great start. Our first gardening adventure. 

Such a great weekend hanging out with our little family. 
Glad you're mine forever!
