Oh boy....

Roasting hot dogs.
look out, Brax has his stick!
thinking they are pretty darn cool.
a mothers greatest fear!!

Although it snowed today we have been getting excited for spring and summer. We built a fire pit this last week and got it done just in time to enjoy it once before the storm. Jason & I had been watching DIY trying to get good, affordable ideas to build one ourselves and after a quick trip to Home Depot we got all that we needed to do it. I have to give Dylan credit for digging out the grass and helping level it all out. He did great. We finished it and roasted hot dogs that night. The kids think it's great. The fire pit is all part of our "making memories" idea. Our other "making memories" idea, rather Jason's other "making memories" idea was getting himself and Dylan dirt bikes. Yup, I said dirt bikes. We already have 2 four wheelers, one being a child size one for Braxton to ride because I refuse to let him ride a dirt bike. But what is dirt biking without all of the gear??? I quickly got an answer to that question - you have to have the shirts, padding, helmets, socks, gloves, pants..... the whole thing. It's been lots of fun at the Carter house. They have only been able to go riding once but they can't wait to go again. Can't you just see it now - Natalie out there in a few years with her pink bike stuff on? We are having fun and most certainly making memories.

Love the firepit! We have one too, and it tends to draw in the whole neighborhood...which is just great! We do smores all summer long...I keep a basket full of stuff ready to roast at a moment's notice. We also upped our number of marshmallow roasters to around 20...gotta have enough to go around :) You will love your firepit even more in the summer!

Love that firepit! That's something we definitely want to get someday when we get a backyard. Love the kiddos in their bike gear as well:)
