My boys working in the yard

Over the past 11 months (since moving into our new home) we have been slowly working on improving our backyard and making it more family friendly. Presently we own about an acre of land but half of the land was wooded in the back. Trying to preserve the woods yet expanding our backyard has been a challenge. First because everything costs mega $$$ and second it's just nearly impossible to do everything at once. But with some time, patience and perseverance we are really starting to see some results. Most recently we plowed more trees and bushes, filled in the low lying areas with top soil, smoothed everything out and planted some grass seeds. Just before we planted the seeds, Walter and his parents worked hard to try and get up all the rocks and roots still present. On this day I caught my boys working hard on Pawpaw's brand new riding lawn mower. Caleb's new favorite thing! Can I just say that Pawpaw's lawnmower has become Caleb's OBSESSION!!
