It Took Jared Going to Africa...

...for me to finally mow an entire lawn for my first time!!!  Spoiled?  Maybe? ...but in my defense, I had a couple older brothers and a little brother, so that job fell to them.  When Jared went to Africa, I went to work and mowed the lawn, front and back!

 I was pretty happy with the job I did, and the kids enjoyed it, too.  They helped pick up sticks, played, and posed;o)

This picture depicts the following two things: that my Emmy is delightfully dimpled and that I mowed but obviously did not weed wack!

What a fabulous work out!!!  I mowed two times before Jared came back home.  Now, I finally know the joy of creating linear patterns in the grass;o)
