Our yard is DONE!

Well, as done as it's going to get for a while that is! We do still want to plant some flowers in the front, but that's not work, it's fun!! wow- what a huge project that was. We are still tired. Thankfully the weather hasn't been cooperating, so we've gotten a brief break from the last few things needing to be completed. But here are some pics of the progress!

Here are a couple "before" pics. these were taken while the trenching was being done.

Then we brought in 40 yards of top soil...

Then we found a couple COOL rocks while trenching the neighbors yard. So we had to haul them both over to our yard. Thank heavens we didn't have to convince Keoki they were cool- he KNEW it. He and Kory and Kory's little VW helped Adrian haul our rocks into place in our flower bed. Whew!!

Pretend you don't see the sod there...LOL. Then we spread the top soil and laid the sod! Beofre we laid the sod out, we also had the fence guys come and install our fence!

And here are a few pics of the finished product! Complete with this morning's weather...gotta love Utah!! The first pic is of the backyard from Monday- about 76 degrees and GORGEOUS. The rest are from this morning...30-something degrees and well, snowy.

Despite the snow, doesn't it look GREAT?! We are so appreciate of all the help we got too- we worked so hard!! It does look great though, and in another few weeks when the sod is more established and **hopefully** it's not snowing, the kids will really enjoy it!
