Picnic with mom

I have been meaning to post sooner, but our busy schedule did not permit. This last week i had the wonderful pleasure of helping my mom prepare her home for potential buyers. I took great before and after pictures of the landscaping and i will show them later. With lots and lots of paint, flowers, new kitchen appliances, and beautiful accessories the house is in perfect condition. I personally think it will sell in a heart beat. Mom always has great ideas for her home and I think it helps a little that she watches HGTV and designed to sell whenever its on (love you ma). Sam had baseball games all weekend and is feeling the effects terribly in his knees and hamstrings. Every time he calls a ball or strike he does a squat from the knees. It's definitely hard work. The weather was gorgeous this weekend and I couldn’t pass up the idea of going on a picnic with the boys. We went to Pleasant Ridge Park. We hiked, played by the river, and saw a beautiful waterfall. Bailey came along as our protector and the minute we entered the forest she could smell everything. Her nose was going in so many directions. There is no denying that her breed was meant to hunt. The beach area doesn't open till memorial day weekend so we can't wait to go back and enjoy the sandy swimming area. Samuel’s birthday is on Wednesday and I am having a hard time believing that he will be 6 years old. Sam was telling me the other day honey we have no more babies in this house and its so true. Ethan wants no help: brushing teeth, getting dressed, eating, and when he goes potty he tell me I need to turn around or close the door. I think with each passing year as they get older my boys will still remain my little babies.
