Finally Finished!

We finally have a yard again. Between tearing up the sod to put in underground sprinklers and finding the perfect bushes for our flower bed, I am glad that we can say Done! Although the backyard looks pretty much the same as before, it looks ten times different from when we bought our house 2 years ago.

This is what the house looked like when we first bought it. Minus the car. Although the front door did go quite well with it. Bright Blue!


This is the front minus the Cedar Bush, Spruce tree and one other bush you can't really see in the picture above. We added the stone around the flower bed and found these mini cedars for some color.



The door is now white, but that will be changing soon as well.


The side yard and boulevard, it used to be all grass, but we took that out because it was too hard to water. And added the stones and boulders, plus the cement curbing around the bushes.

The horrible back yard. Notice the 3 different colors of paint on the fence. Scary!! The path was alright but we needed the room for play stuff (which we don't have yet) for the kids.

Pretty much a blank slate. We have plans to put in a shed, plus hopefully a swing set and who knows what else. There is plenty of room that's all I know.

Ohhh.. your yard is so pretty. Our's is completely weeds. I want yours. And, when I am looking to run away, I really might get a ticket to your house. So, you better be ready for me.

Jessie you guys have really done a great job with your house. It looks so nice and I'm sure it feels so good to have it done. Why didn't you keep the blue car and blue door, I think it really adds some personality to the house! :)

Also, I know what you mean about running kids here and there. I have just come to the realization that that is my new life until they have a drivers license of their own. I'm glad your kids are enjoying school. Yay!

Once again...I am impressed with your and Pat's "skills"! You have proven that you don't have to have a blank canvas to create a masterpiece. :)

You have done so much to your home--I'm always so impressed! It looks awesome. It gives me hope--our sod goes in next week. Then hopefully we will get some rain.

Great to catch up on the family!
