I Know...Enough, Already!

Sorry. I couldn't help posting one more photo of the backyard. Luke mowed the lawn for the first time today, and I think it looks awesome!

Ta-dah!

Luke was ready for the sod as soon as it was delivered and got started right away. Dylan thought it was awesome, and Izzy was in charge of taking pictures because I was at work. She did a great job!

We owe our fabulous friends a huge THANK YOU for all the help. It is so nice to look out the window and see green grass! We couldn't have done it without you guys, so thanks for everything!


One project down, fifteen to go...

Green!

Our sod is going to be delivered on Monday. I can't wait to see the end of this project and enjoy our backyard!

A Work In Progress

Luke is working so hard on the backyard. It is such a huge job, and he has been doing all the labor himself. He is amazing! I took a few "before" pictures so we'll be able to see the difference when everything is finished. Here's one of the photos; I was standing by the gate at the northeast side of the yard when I took it. I'll post some more "befores" when we get some "after" shots. If Luke makes it that long, that is. :)

We do have one project that is almost finished. Luke built a shed in the orchard last fall, and we're almost done painting it. Aside from putting in a window, it's pretty much done!
Before...

After...

It's starting to come together. A few more weeks, and we'll be able to enjoy it!

Congratulations, Dylan!

On Thursday, Dylan graduated from preschool. He did a great job during his program and is looking forward to Kindergarten. Way to go, Bucky!

No Training Wheels!

Dylan is officially huge. He hasn't mastered starting or turning, but he can stop and get off by himself. He is so proud!

Have You Seen Me?

Myrtle Spurge is pretty common in our area--I hate to admit it, but Luke and I even have one growing in the backyard (not for long). It has recently been listed as a noxious weed in Salt Lake County. And let's face it. Who wants a noxious weed in their yard? Not me. So, on Saturday, REI is ready to take this spurge off your hands in exchange for some really cool native plants that are enviromentally friendly. It's a win-win for everyone.
