Look at My Grass!

So, if any of you have moved into a new house and have had to finish the backyard, you know how happy I am right now! We have grass in our backyard, yay! Jason has been working on this darn yard for a month and a half now and we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

You may look at it and think, "why is it taking him so long?" Well, if you had seen this yard when we moved in, you would know why. He had to do a ton of work. He had to level it out a ton because there was such a steep grade, that took a while, then it was terrible dirt, so we had to get some topsoil and he had to bring it back one wheelbarrow full at a time and let me tell you, we have a long driveway! He had to put in all the sprinklers and attatch them to the pipe in the front yard. On top of this, he has been working on the front and side yards laying bark and planting flowers. What a man, right?!

Obviously, there is still some work to be done, we are going to plant some flowers and trees and stuff, but I am just exicted about the grass! We hung out back there last night and the kids thought it was great! Thanks Jason for working so hard, you're the best!

Wow, that is real grass with a real backyard! I am so jealous, all we have is a crappy wooden porch that gives us slivers, and a dying pine tree that doesn't give enough light for our "grass" to grow so zack just ends up digging in the dirt.

It looks like Jason has been hard at work. What a man is right! I bet you love your new house, the pictures look awesome, I can't wait to see it.
