Busy Little Bees

I know, I know – I’m behind.   We just got back from a week long trip for my dad’s 60th birthday at their “cabin” in Swan Valley, Idaho.  It was A LOT of fun.  It was the first time in, well, at least 7 years, that we have all been together, spouses and children, and no babies presently on their way.  But I’ll post more of our trip later on…

Joel has been super busy the past couple months.  He laid a slab out in front of the garage, which for some reason he thought he would be able to use, but the kids have just been so happy riding their bikes on it, we only recently have been able to park on it.

The other BIG thing is that he finished laying down sod for our grass.  I forget how much sod there is is total, but I think it is bigger then the square footage of our house.  The slab was for him, the grass is definitely for me.  I LOVE it.  It is so nice to go out in our bare feet, not having to worry about pokies.  It is super windy out where we live, so the grass is also nice to reduce the sandblasting we were accustomed to getting.  The pictures were taken just walking around the horseshoe.

The next big house project is probably going to be outside paint.  The to-do list is getting smaller, it is crazy to think that we might actually finish the house someday…maybe then it will be time to move somewhere else…just watch…you’ll see…

Oh how nice! What a beautiful yard- you guys have done amazing things these past years. Whether you live there or not it will be such a sweet part of your family history.

It would be sad if you moved away w/ all the work that you've put in to it. But, I guess that is just how things go- if you gotta go, you gotta go.

Your yard looks wonderful and fun!! It really changes the look of the entire yard - what are the dogs thinking about all that wonderful new grass to try out? Just like Charly, your mother loves to roll around in the grass - especiallly when she has no shoes on!!
