Friday was my birthday (yeah!). Unfortunately, I was up at 4 am and headed to Madison by 5 am. I returned to Howard at 5 pm to start my birthday fun with a 4 mile trail run. At the end of the run Chris and Jackson met me with a picnic and presents. For my birthday they got me a massage and had Merry Maids at the house to clean that day. YES!
Trail head where my birthday officially began. Running with bears makes things interesting...
Too much birthday cake post-sugar courage: Dukes of Hazard style exit.
The neighbor was cleaning out her garage and look what she found for Jackson, a four wheeler. Mark my words: He'll hurt someone, hurt himself, have it taken away, or destroy something before he out grows this thing. The first thing he hit, the house. Enter the helmet.
Sunday was Breakfast on the Farm, an annual tradition for us. For a little boy nothing beats a morning with a good farmer's breakfast, tractors and animals. This event is ALWAYS a huge hit!
We finished our Sunday with impromptu swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's pool. Jackson stripped down to his underwear and in he went. Who can tell a 4 year old they can't take a dip with their Grandma and Grandpa? Not me!
We wrapped up our Sunday afternoon with planting a rock garden on our deck. I came up with the idea and Chris laid out the plant types and locations. We're very happy with the way it turned out. Now we can only hope the hardiness of each plant will truly stand up to our winters.
A full view of the finished planting.
I had to post this picture - check out Jackson in the background. He has the sprayer pointed right at his face.

Great job on the rock garden! I love that Jackson was wearing that nice big hat at the farm. We're working on getting Henry to "like" wearing hats! Sounds like a very fun weekend!
Awesome pictures! :)
