Spring has sprung!

We, in the Hayes Household, know when Spring has sprung when Daddy fires up the tractor and begins his daily roam of the grounds.  Daily?  Yes, he can always find a reason to use the tractor.  If he's not mowing the grass, he is spraying the lawn with some concoction of beer, dishwashing detergent, salt and who knows what else!  Whatever it is, it works!  This weekend he launched an all out assult on the dandelions.  Alex still enjoys riding on the tractor now and then, but Tyler won't have anything to do with it yet.  Daddy keeps trying to coax him onto his lap, but he is adamant. 

We put new play sand in the sand box and the boys have kept busy displacing each piece onto the ground.  Tyler is officially too big for the baby swing.  He actually sits on the regular swing and holds on while I push him. We don't go very high though.  He has also discovered the superman style of using the swing!  The boys love to run around the yard kicking a ball or shooting rockets.  They are ALL boy, let me tell you!

We are taking them to the beach later this summer and Alex is looking forward to seeing the ocean again.  Tyler loves the water, so he will have a good time too.  We are driving them to Florida so that should be fun for Mom and Dad...
