Yardwork is Hardwork

Last weekend Jackson got to spend Saturday and Sunday outside! Nic and I were doing some yardwork. We lost a lot of our plants from the freezes this winter. We went to Home Depot and purchased some new plants and enjoyed spending time outside in the sunshine. Jackson loved all of Nic's cool gardening tools and even got to hold an earthworm...such a boy! Here are some pics of our hard working weekend!

Gotta love that child labor!

The following videos are not meant to be offensive in any way....Jackson is proud to be an American and has respect for those who are serving our country and those who are holding important offices such as President Obama. We hope you enjoy...our little Republican (remember his Nursery is done in elephants!)
