Our yard is just about done!
Rich worked REALLY hard on our sprinkler system. While it was a lot of work I am glad he did it himself. He's learned a lot and isn't intimidated by it anymore.
Ben loves having a yard to dig in and run around in. The mud boots I bought for the kids have been Awesome!
Afton would live on the swings if she could.
We still have A LOT of empty dirt, eventually this whole area will be garden boxes. On the side of our house (top right) we have a mini-orchard with four fruit trees and our chickens are housed up there.
The flooding problems are worse than ever with all the rain. Even though we paid to get a french drain put back there, we are pretty sure the excavator graded our yard in correctly so we still have lot's of mud! arrrrgh
The front of our home.
We still have some fencing/gate in the front to finish and the water problems. But other than that we are about done for now.
On a side note; we aren't really in to holidays around here. Yes I know, lame. When it comes to celebrations on the calendar I seem to always come up a day late and a dollar short, but honestly I don't care all that much. We did celebrate Mother's day with Rich's Mom up in Ogden and had a nice time. I did call my mother, but alas (in keeping with tradition) the card I bought for my mother didn't make it to the mail box until today.
I have kids who don't believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny, but are enthralled by flower fairies and can't wait until we have flowers of our own.
