Our summer project

Today, we began (and finished) a HUGE project - we put in a new yard! Front AND back! Watch the event unfold....
First, you need a yard in desperate need of help...

The weeds outgrew Maddie

One truck load of dirt...

One yard ready to go...

Two huge piles of bark dust and beauty bark...

Two guys playing on big boy toys....

And finally, two little helpers!

Let the FUN begin!


The finished product!! With a little help from A LOT of water, there should be little sprouts popping up in about 7 days.... stay tuned!

My sweet little flower mound. I am SO excited about this. It is so pretty.

This was a CRAZY undertaking that took a better part of 12 hours, but we are excited to have a yard for the kids to play in next spring... Yeah!

MAJOR thanks goes out to my brother-in-law, Mike, and my father-in-law, Jim. Thank you both for ALL your help today!

Phew! I'm tired just looking at it! I've actually done this a time or two myself and I KNOW what a HUGE, GIGANTIC job it can be!
