Monday Mugs

This weeks theme is "The Backyard"

When we lived in Iowa we lived on an acreage in the country. 8 acres for our kids to play in and grow and roam safely. It was a great place to raise kids.

But 8 acres was a lot of work. When we moved to Ashland two years ago, Keith said he never wanted a yard that big again and that he wanted a postage stamp yard. Be careful what you ask for because that's exactly what we got. Mowing both the front and back yards takes 20 minutes.

From this angle the back yard looks bigger than it actually is.

Not a big yard for two big dogs but they make do.

Keith keeps wanting to take this play structure down but I keep telling him our kids haven't outgrown it yet.

Andrew defying gravity. He likes to yell, "Indiana Jones" and jump off the deck. The older he gets the less he does this.

  1. Whoa! Andrew is really catching some air! Our backyard is probably similar in size to yours but as far as AZ yards go, ours is huge! Whenever anyone comes over they say "You have such a big yard!"
