Happy Birthday, Clyde!

We celebrated Clyde's 34th Birthday on Friday by going out to dinner, eating cake and ice cream and... you guessed it... yard work!  Nice present, right?  Actually--he loves it!  The girls weren't too enthusiastic at first, but they got really into it.  All 6 of us (especially Kona) really enjoy the improvements.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

The girls did the decorating!

Clyde and the girls spread mulch (after pulling out lots of overgrown plants!).

The girls, after helping Dad lay weed barrier on the other side of the house.  Check out the trailor with all the old plants and debris!

The old fountain...

The new fountain!

Aiden is upset to be sequestered to the backyard.  I brought him out to visit the others in the front, but he was not content to be held and wanted to get down and run around!

Still not content to be held (by anyone)!

... Ah, that's more like it.

Dad lit the tiki torches for our evening.

Lauren pauses her play to smile for the camera.

And so does Ciala.

And so do I.

Clyde tests out Aiden's favorite seat.

Though Clyde's trusty assistants had to return to South Carolina, Aiden and Kona stepped in to help test out the back patio fountain. 

They each believe it was placed there, just for them.
