My Little Gardeners

After a long walk/run for Mama, lots of swinging, some play time in the pool, and chasing Cooper around the backyard with the water hose, the boys settled in the grass to help me with some gardening. Oh, and who says you have to wear clothes to garden?

Cooper was so sweet and protective of Austin, watching out to make sure he didn't put anything in his mouth that was dangerous. I kept hearing him say, "No, no Austin Buddy. That's dangerous. That's only for big boys. You have to be careful on construction sites." Makes my heart smile.

Baby Austin, I love you so much. You so cute! (I hear this almost on a daily basis from Cooper.)
Mommy (while squeezing my cheeks), you adorable.
Mommy, I teach you how to catch pompeno. Daddy, can you teach Mommy how throw the line?
Me: Coop, can you take this to your room? Coop: I can't do that right now; I have go work on my tractor. Just call me if you need anything. Oh wait. My tractor broken. I go work on my harvester.
