Warm weather is here!!

So we have been totally taking advantage of the warm weather! For the past week and a half we have been going on walks in the evening. Caden still loves it, he just sits back in a chilled position and watches everything around him. It's funny, whenever we stop for a second he sits up and looks back like what's the hold up? Why did we stop? Then once we get going again he sits back again and gets comfy. He also likes walking by himself too, although he doesn't always want to go the way we want to go. He thinks his way is better. : )
 We also have been cleaning up the backyard, picking up all of the leaves and trash that has blown in our yard since winter. I tell you, it's a nice feeling getting everything cleaned up, it makes me feel happy. It's like a fresh start to summer. It also gives us a chance to brainstorm ideas of ways to improve our yard and give us the nice curb appeal. The landscaped area in our backyard is going to get attacked this summer for sure. The bushes died over the winter, so they'll go and so we are on a hunt to replace them. I'm not sure if I want to put plain ole bushes in or rose/flower bushes. We are planning on planting a bunch of flowers that will be perennials, so we won't always have to plant some each spring. 
We hand tilled the garden Sunday, and wow did that take some muscle! We borrowed my sister's "Claw" which worked out much better than using the shovel & hoe that we had to use last year. Our dirt is so hard, but once it gets worked up a bit it looks nice. We need to add some more dirt and then we'll till it again, then a month or so we'll start planting our garden! Yay for Spring! Summer your just around the corner, I can't wait for you to come!!
