The yards.

I took this picture a couple of days ago for 2 reasons. One Daisy was being so nice to Taylor and sharing her Barbie head with her. I thought it was really cute. Daisy and Marybeth have been doing a lot better lately with playing and teaching Taylor things. It almost seems like they take turns playing with her. One of them will play with her for awhile and the next thing I know she the other sister will have taken over and she will be following them around. The other reason I took this picture was because Daisy was actually practicing a new thing her Aunt Tracy taught her. While we where in Ogden last week Tracy taught Daisy how to do a braid called a fish tail. (At least I think that was what it was called) She was teaching her on the tails and mains of My Little Pony's. Daisy did really good at it. When we got home she started practicing on her Barbie head which I am sure is a lot easier to do because it is not so small. Taylor is the only one right now with long enough hair to do the braid on but... well she is 4 and does not like to hold still to even have it put in a pony tail. She has better things to do.
This is a flower we have in our backyard. There are 2 colors of flowers and then there are the ones that have crossed like this one. We thought they were very pretty flowers. We have been wanting to put a flower garden in our front yard but have not had the money to do it. So we started looking around the backyard and found starts of flowers that had come from our next door. Then there was a yellow rose bush half in our yard and half in the next doors yard. Which had a bunch of starts. I have actually been noticing the yellow rose bushes in a lot of yards around the area so it must do really good.

This is Willie getting a couple of starts for the front yard. These bushes had the flowers like above on them. These flowers where in the back corner of our yard. They have grown in all 4 yards, the 4 corners so to speak.










This is a picture of one of the sides we did. We put a flower bed on each side of our step. After we got done planting the flowers Willie put a little white fence around it. The beds look very cute. The lady who lives next door loves what we are doing with the yards. She has lived in her house for 35 years and says this is the best the yards have looked for more than 10 years. No one on the street can believe how much work we are putting into the yards when we are only renting the place. But we are really enjoying it. We all get out there as a family and do what needs to be done. The kids are learning a lot and I think they enjoy the time with Willie and I.

All in all we are having a lot of fun in the yards. Now I just wish the weather would make up its mind and stay warm.
