. . . st tyler's day . . .

. . . memorial day was hot last year . . .
. . . no big deal . . .
. . . tyler {and his dad ~ thanks ernie!} installed
this awesome water basketball standard . . .
. . . he had previously cut down
all the old/overgrown shrubs
in the pool area . . .
. . . {note stumps in the background} . . .
. . . which he then proceeded to dig out . . .
. . . one by one . . .
. . . he also shored up this brick pillar . . .
. . . which was really leaning . . .
. . . not too pretty, but it worked like a charm . . .
. . . after which he tore out and replaced
all of the antiquated drip lines . . .
. . . his slacker mother-in-law
finally got around to
picking out some plants . . .
. . . he immediately dug every hole . . .
. . . and perfectly planted them all . . .
. . . resulting in a nicely revamped back yard . . .
. . . with summer just around the corner . . .
. . . he finished his outside chores just in time
for our weekend painting party . . .
. . . where he tried to leave his mark . . .
. . . happy birthday, t-jo! . . .
. . . we're lucky to have you around . . .

Can we have him cloned? I love the cool stuff he knows how to do. That's awesome when your child/in-law/friend/neighbor can, on their own, just go about fixing things etc. I hope he had the best and greenest birthday ever! It was a beautiful day, wasn't it?
