We have a backyard!!! (July 19)

It feels like a long time coming, but we FINALLY have our very own backyard! Since we moved into a brand new home there was no landscaping done in the backyard. That was almost exactly 1 year ago.

In May I started feeling very antsy about getting it done (VERY antsy....just ask my husband!). We thought about doing it all ourselves, but Wes wasn't really thrilled about doing that, not to mention we really had not idea how to do any of it. We found a guy in our ward that does landscaping so we decided to hire him and have him take care of it (fence, sod, patio). He did a great job! We still can't walk on the grass for a couple of weeks, but we sure do enjoy hanging out on our patio! Today was our first patio dinner and it was a pleasure to have Tara and Darren join us!

And, we sure lucked out with the weather....it down-poured before dinner, and then hailed after dinner.

YAHOO for backyards and summer time! :)

PS: I am FULL TERM today!! Dr. says baby is 7 lbs. Anytime now baby, anytime....

That is terrific for you guys. Nice to have a place that is safe for Olivia to play and to have dinner with family and friends.

I hope your baby arrives soon for your sake.
