Taking advantage...

of the beautiful weather because we're not sure how much longer it will be around! Our winter is coming. We went to the pool the other night with the Minnick's and Nicole and I went in the sauna. We asked ourselves why we were doing that since it was the hotness we would be living in in a couple months! So we're taking advantage of outside activities that don't involve a pool for as long as we can!
This, of course, includes the Train Park.

And swinging competitions.
And help with swinging. I think this is so sweet. And that little hop he does is something that's he's picked up since his foot problem. By the way, we saw Dr. Hrasky this past week and he said Braden looks "fantastic!" We were all very happy with that report! 
 We got a raised garden to put in the backyard! We worked on getting it planted on Friday because it was supposed to rain on Saturday (I think we got about 20 drops in total). 
Braden planted
 
and watered.
Hunter got in on the action, too.
 Everyone got there hands a little dirty. We're calling it our salsa garden because we have tomatoes, peppers and cilantro. We also planted some basil, mint and a random parsley plant that we thought was cilantro. No starting from seeds with these happy gardeners! We'll see if we can keep them alive here in the desert!
 I should have known that my dirt lover would especially love the wet, fluffy dirt of the garden. We always know where he is in the backyard these days! 
 Braden wanted to go for a ride on his bike today for the first time since his foot infection! 
They are really turning into dinosaurs these days!
