The New Lawn!

BEFORE

AFTER

We are soooo grateful to all who helped us at the sod-laying party! (Jason, James, & Jim) You guys worked so hard, it could never have happened without your help.

A Very Special Thank You

To our wonderful and amazing Daddy! He worked sooooo incredibly hard for almost 2 years to give us this amazing front lawn: a place where we can't wait to make millions of memories playing ball, hunting for easter eggs, playing catch, running, racing, rolling, jumping, screaming, laughing, hiding, seeking, cart wheeling, skipping, slip 'n sliding, eating, and partying! Dad, we have never seen anyone work so hard...and you did it all for us and all by yourself! (saving us thousands of dollars!) You dug truckloads of dirt, hacked forests of ivy, transported grass, sledge hammered cement slabs, sifted dirt, leveled dirt, mixed dirt, layed new dirt, raked rocks, layed gopher wire, carried endless wheel barrows full of rock and dirt, transported plants, nurtured plants, researched, researched, researched, installed a whole sprinkler system......the list is endless. The greatest part is that you did most of this work after we went to bed. You worked till midnight (the only time you had free time) on endless nights, shoveling away in the yard under the light of the moon and our Christmas lights that served a huge purpose being up for an entire year! ;)

We love you Daddy! 

 Thank you for working so incredibly hard to bless us!

Take a look at the realty companies virtual tour of this home just before we bought it. Gosh, how much we've changed....the kitchen...the back yard....the living room....THE FRONT YARD! Be sure to watch it till the end to get a good comparison of the before and after of the lawn.

Here's a couple of pics during the lawn makeover process over the past year and a half:

We are gonna miss playing/digging in the piles of dirt a bit :)

We had a little hand in helping create our new yard too:

A few pics of the yard before. It was pretty, but very small, lumpy and non functional for a family.
