Water Baby

We planted 4 new trees in our backyard this weekend, thanks to my husband who dug all 4 HUGE holes himself (I wasn't much help) also, Blake's brother Trent who helped carry the trees from the truck to the backyard, and Blake's dad who helped lift the trees into the holes and plant! Our yard is starting to look full and it's nice looking at trees rather than brick wall! Anyway, I decided to get a sprinkler for the grass so Ashlyn could play in it on hot days! While the guys were planting I tried it out and she didn't seem to like it at all, she mostly ran away except when she wanted to get the balls that were right next to it.

She had to help by wearing the gloves and picking up EVERY tool she saw (including a pick, hammer, shovels, pliers, saw, and the measuring tape)

I decided to get Ashlyn out of her wet clothes since she was SO unexcited about the sprinkler and she QUICKLY found a new toy - the hose that had a leak at the connection! She got SO wet and not only tried drinking the water, but would put her whole face in it. Why wasn't that cool an hour before when she was in her swim suit!
After cleaning up the backyard from the planting mess I was calling Ashlyn to come inside with me and all I hear is her start to cry, she had walked right next to one of the new trees and fell in the mud (from watering them) She was totally stuck and on her knees - she realized she hates mud, and being cleaned off even more! She is full of surprises!
