This past Saturday members of our church...the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...were involved in a huge community clean up day. AKA "Mormon Helping Hands". My ward was assigned to the Rusch House at Rusch Park. I was able to take Blake & Sonny & we were able to participate in this great service project.
(Sonny in the beginning.
He kept calling his smock a Jedi cape & he really wanted to keep it.
Guess I should learn how to make one for him.)
I was a little worried about the timing because Blake also had a baseball game at 10:00 & not at the same park. That would've been convenient though. Well...I decided that we would go for at least an hour. I'm so glad we went. We had a great time & spent most of it digging & planting flowers with Colby & Kylie's Grandparents (Lisa & Paul Durston) & 2 girls from young women's.

At one point Blake asked if he could come over & help us because he thought he'd be better at digging than weeding. It was so cute & of course I let him switch tasks. We learned how to transfer flowers from plastic containers into the ground.
(Blake is great at digging!!!)

(Blake & Nolan)
(totally ready to go home)
(he decided it would be easier to crawl down the grass instead of walking because I wouldn't carry him)
(ok...guess I'll just wait it out...I'm glad my camera takes great outdoor pics)
(just messing around...I do believe this is my best angle yet...hahaha)
Here I am with my 2 very happy boys before we left. Blake didn't want to leave because he was having too much fun. I'm glad he had a good experience.
It was fun & a great experience to clean up & beautify!! And we made it to the game with no problem but it was super cold!!!
