First big event! Last week my baby turned 3!! I know he is not such a baby anymore but he still seems that way to me. Can I tell you how much I love 3 year old birthdays? There are no expectations, no asking for huge presents, no planning gigantic birthday parties, just the simple little things. He loved every little toy we got him. His favorite presents were from Tyler and Sydney. They each gave him something of theirs. Tyler gave him his Flash wristband and McKay has been wearing it ever since! I think that was his favorite thing! Sydney wrapped up one of her old dolls, I am not sure he really loved that but it was sure thoughtful of Syd. We had cake and ice cream at the Jones home and celebrated McKay and Brooke's (cousin) birthdays together! I really am still in denial that he is already 3, but he is such a sweetheart, he is kind of the center of attention around here. He keeps us laughing a lot. He tells it like it is and sometimes that might not be such a good thing. For instance, he was playing at the neighbors house the other day and this is how the conversation went: they were talking about dads for some reason?
Neighbors mom: "Mckay, where is your dad or what is he doing, is he at work?" Something to that effect.
Mckay's response: "He is at home right now farting."
My neighbor didn't quite know what to say to that response, she thought maybe she misunderstood him, so she asked again and she said it sounded pretty straight forward. What a character, I am not quite sure where that came from but that's our little birthday boy!! We couldn't imagine life without this little guy. He keeps us on our toes and gives us comic relief daily.
Onto our next big event--We finally see grass growing in our yard! As many of you know, we have been putting our yard in and it seems like it has taken an eternity! Yes, we have learned lots, mostly in patience, forgiveness and humility! Yes, Brent did an amazing job, considering he really had no idea what he was doing in the beginning!! Yes, it has turned out beautiful! Yes, we have saved lots of money, but spent a lot as well! And Yes, we are still married! No, we will never do this again!! I repeat myself, hopefully we will never do this again!! Thanks to the family for all their hard work. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Here are some pictures for pure entertainment. I will say, I think the guys had fun driving the bobcat, backhoe, etc. and acting like they knew what ther were doing but I don't think anyone enjoyed digging trenches and shoveling what seemed like a million wheelbarrows of dirt.:) I am so thrilled this project is coming to an end, at least until spring right?!? There is always another project to be done!
Do you see the little green fuzz, yup that's grass!!
Happy Fall to all!

Happy Day to your little guy and congrats on the green fuzz. It is very beautiful green fuzz!
Happy Birthday McKay. Boo is right there behind him. Yea for the yard. It is such a nice feeling for it to be done. But you are right you will want to do more when spring hits. It looks great, and I love watching the grass grow!
You have a huge backyard!! I can't believe you guys took on that project by yourselves...way to go.
McKay's response to your neighbor is the funniest thing I have ever heard. I am dieing!
Can you believe how fast time flies..My oldest turns 5 on Friday and I'm dying because she is still my baby :) Great looking lawn!
What a great post, Heather! Sometimes it feels so weird to be "grown up" and have kids that are growing up. Congrats on the yard! I definitely can appreciate what a HUGE amount of work that must have been. It looks amazing! I love the trampoline dug into the ground - I still remember going to Brent's in California where they had theirs that way. I always thought it was so cool.
Yay for a yard! We are putting grass in our backyard too and its been a project haha! I feel ya! :)
