Back Yard Chipping

Matt took his 3 day weekend to chip through an enormous pile of branches that have accumulated over the past several years and grew to such an expanse that it was causing an eye sore. Roman enjoyed playing in the chipped wood, climbing on the rocks, and overall getting a dirty as possible.

GG this is your little daredevil of a great grandson standing tall on this boulder that he climbed up himself. He was so proud of his accomplishment...and don't worry, he was as steady as a mountain goat and never suffered one bruise :)

Roman also enjoys throwing the mulch in the air- so above is the action shot of him jumping and throwing dirt to ensure he is filthy from head to toe.
Maggies chuck-it was a source of entertainment for both involved. Roman is trying to figure out how to make it work and Maggie is anxiously awaiting for him to figure it out.

I forgot to get a "before" picture of the pile of brush, but above is the "after" picture. The pile of branches stood over 6 feet tall and spanned from the fence on the left to past the rock on the right.
Daddy's little helper.



All this yard work makes for one dirty boy.








Our strong independent boy had to carry the bucket himself. But the independence is quickly given up for a free ride in the bucket by daddy.

We are so thankful for our little boy who loves the outdoors even if it means several changes of clothes and lots of laundry.

HIS facial expressions never cease to make me smile - when he grows up, he is going to do something outdoors!
