well, it was the front yard

...that made us Yard of the Month for July!

no way....

I am way too excited, maybe the highlight of the year.

Really, we do work hard at our yard and flower beds.  Will and maybe 2 other people on our street actually cut their own grass.  I do almost all the flower bed work: planting flowers, weeding, watering, triming bushes, etc.... So, the yard as a whole is a group effort and Jaxon sometimes help picking weeds and watering but I have to highly supervise that or he pulls up whole plants and waters his brother.

You've seen in other posts how much the boys enjoy getting out there with their lawnmowers too.  Will thinks he's training them to take over his job in a few years. ;o)

So, here's the yard.  I admit it's nothing fancy but it's good and I like it.

he's our newest friend from AR (Will's bday present from my mom) and the boys LOVE HIM!
