Our Backyard Transformation...






























So these pictures are backwards but you can get the general idea... I also took pictures of Josh shoveling all of the rock out of the backyard but I can't find where I saved those. Our Backyard was originally just Rock... and more Rock... and MORE ROCK!!! Josh Shoveled all of that up and then got to work tilling the ground and flattening it out. We then asked Gordon, Ian, and Josh's buddy from work Clint to come help lay the sod. They did a GREAT Job as you can tell (thanks guys). They also built this play ground area... well not the swing set... but the frame and the pavers with rubber mulch on top. Josh also built a garden area in one corner of the yard. We have 3 different kind of Tomatoes (Big Boy, Early girl, and Roma), and two green pepper plants, and a Zucchini plant... we also got 2 strawberry plants (YUMMY). Wish us luck with our first Garden!!! As you can see from some of the Pics we ran out of sod and need to get a little bit more... Hopefully this weekend! I will take a picture of the final project then. Hope you enjoy the pics half as much as we are going to enjoy playing in our new backyard!!!

Completely jealous . . . that's me! You remember German yards? Oh, yeah, they don't exist here. Someday . . .
