The Princess and the Dirt

Unless it is raining we try to spend a few hours a day out in the backyard playing. I love our backyard and now that Jersey has been walking for a few months she loves her independence out there too! This day was so nice outside, I was writing in my journals and sunning my face, Trace was jumping on the trampoline and Jersey was exploring the dirt!

She liked the way it felt in her hands. The moist gritty texture was new to her and she dug it.

And she ate it....

See Mama! I guess even a princess like to get dirty every once in a while.

No matter how many times I would tell her "no no Jersey Girl", she still wanted to eat it.

Not sure what this face was doing but she steals my heart, even with a mouth full of mud!

Bad to the Bone!!

My son loves monster trucks, so when we saw they were giving rides in this monster school bus we had to take him. I think I was as excited as he was! It was huge!

Daddy and Trace getting ready for the big ride. They were the only ones riding this ride so they had the whole truck to themselves!

Look how big the tires are. It was so awesome to compare the tires to how tall Joe is.

We seem to small compared to this huge truck, no wonder they are called "monster"! This year Treysons birthday is all monster truck themed. He got to ride this truck and in March, the day after his birthday we are taking him to the Monster Truck Finals, he can hardly wait!

Worms!!

We spent the day outside doing yard work and playing. Treyson and Joe took a break and went digging for worms....and they found some!

Trace loved them, he called them his wormies. He carried them around for hours!

Ewwwww

This one was the Papa worm, he was pretty long and plump! I guess boys sure will be boys! I love watching him get so excited over gross boyish things like worms. It was a great day!
