Mowing The Lawn - March 21, 2016

Monday - March 21st

We love our big yard!  IT is going to be a lot of work to keep it nice.  Roger told the kids that we would be doing yard work today.  Parker has never mowed a lawn before.  He was too young, the last time we were in a house.  He's been looking forward to getting to mow the lawn.  We got two lawn mowers.  Our old one from our first house (Todd kept it and gave it back to us) and Roger's mom's lawn mower.  We were excited to have 2 mowers so 2 of us could mow at once and we would get it all done faster.  When Roger and Parker went out this morning, they were disappointed to find that our old lawn mower had a leak and won't work and the lawn mower from Roger's mom, kept getting bogged down.  It was not doing well.  So, Roger and Parker went to Logan and bought a new mower.  It's nothing fancy, but it works well.

 We love this picnic/bench seats from Roger's mom.  It switches between a picnic table and bench seats.

 The 2 mowers that didn't work so well.  We will get them fixed, so we can have our idea of 2 people mowing at once to speed up the job.

 Alissa thought that she would get out of doing yard work today, since she'd be at school.  she really hoped it would all get done while she was gone.  But, because they had to go buy a lawn mower, they didn't get started until after Alissa got home.  She only mowed one strip.  Roger just wanted her to get a feel for it.

 Here's my beautiful, goofy 'Lissa

 Brinley is getting really good at her cartwheels

Alissa was making some musically  videos.  Eventually I'll get those emailed to me so I can share them on here.  I think musically is fun.

Parker said it was much easier to ride his bike in the grass now that it's been mowed.

Roger is excited about this shed.  He is so excited to have a place to keep his tools and an area he can work on things.

Since he finally has that, he can be a mister fix it now.  I like that.  He is fixing the post on the fence that had come loose.  One of them had fallen off completely in the last wind storm.
