BEFORE, AFTER, and the things in BETWEEN

For the last month we have been working on our yard.. I am so excited to have it done. We have had so much help from family and friends raking rocks, Trenching, placing sprinklers, re-leveling and LAYING SOD here are a few ok alot of pictures of all the work that went into it.. It will be so great to be able to go outside and play without having to pack up the gear to go to the park... Which is nice sometimes but not when you want a quick outside play time..

The next couple pictures are the family over on memorial day raking raking digging digging






Having a little fun riding on the tractor to push the rake down so it will level out the dirt





The cement pad out back (to put a shed someday when we save our money back up.
This was an attempt to put Ella hand prints. It did not turn out to good.

Laying the sod it took them about 21/2 hours not too bad we had a lot of help






The party after it was all done.. PIzza and some lounging on the GRASS! It is so fabulous





Jason, Ken, Michelle, Kevin, Krew, Suzi, Drew, Jess, Thanks Everyone for all your help and hard work

It took lots of man hours to get his done. And tons of help from a lot of great family and friends We are so excited to finally have it done. Now we just need to bring all the rock in for park strip, out back, and the south side of the house.
THANKS AGAIN to everyone that helped we love you all and owe you big time!
