Mission Accomplished

The yard is DONE!!!! WE DID IT!!! It took a lot of work and a lot of help, but we got the front/side yard in. We started early Friday morning with the 3 concrete blocks and didn't stop until Sunday afternoon with the final piece of sod. It was a big project but we had some fun and good laughs with some great friends and family. Here are some pics to look at the final look!

the start of the project weekend

digging 5x5x8 holes by hand. not my idea of a holiday (most of the time)


Our personal Cheerleader

Garrett loved being outside all day!

Next time we'll plan to have some machinery to dig holes like these.

One block down, two to go, and taking a break


got the blocks in and sprinklers trenched by Saturday morning!
making excellent time!

My parents helping put in sprinklers. They were suppose to be in St. George but the plans fell through so they decided to help us!

Taking a quick lunch break.
