The problem with the rain...

Amber doesn't really mind the rain... or the rocks...

She climbs up....

and then slides down.... It doesn't matter that everything is all wet and soggy and muddy. She doesn't really care. The girls seem to find something to do no matter the weather. Like sliding down the driveway in the mud. (If you want to see the video, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgUWvUBpgbE or go to http://www.youtube.com/ and search for tag "utah girls" to see the video, the sound is bad due to the wind.)

Not only does the rain make it hard to set sprinkler heads, or pour concrete, or get any weeding done, or even finish the garden area so that my seedlings that we planted can go in there instead of die like they are now... rain also is hard on a yard that doesn't have any substance to it... no grass, not weeds, nothing to keep it from washing away.

Poor Rob was sick with strep throat and he had to deal with this on Sunday in the middle of the day to prevent the concrete from cracking or breaking. Luckily the girls noticed it so we could fix it, or Rob could fix it anyway. There is a HUGE pile of dirt all at the bottom of the rock wall.

CAN'T WAIT FOR GRASS!!
