Backyard Adventures!

Putting in yards is a LOT of HARD work!! We've got callased hands and our muscles are still recovering - but it was so worth it! Here are some fun pics of us putting in the backyard last week. Huge shout outs and thank you's to our amazing and wonderful family members that came to help us - we couldn't have done it without you and you all made it so much fun. We will think of all of you every time we go outside on our grass! Hooray!

All of the cousins had to try out the new play area as soon as we laid down the last peice of sod. They were loving it! And Carter was so excited to have a place to play.


Me and Shayne and Jana laying the sod. Those rolls were soooo heavy and there were sooo many of them! Thanks so much for all the wonderful help!! We love you all!

And here is Trish, who thought she could lay sod with us - and we said NO! (because she is 5 months pregnant) - she is always so helpful - she and Shayne picked up the wood chips for the play area for us and we let Trish spread them - she did a fabulous job.
Here is my hottie with his trusty pick tool thing (sorry honey I can't remember what that one is called) I like to call him "Captain of the Sprinklers" I love my Dave. What a hard worker.
Also big thanks to Dad Hardman, Liz, and Dad Taylor for all your help and Mom Taylor for watching the kiddies and being willing to pull weeds, pick up rocks and sink in the mud with me. We couldn't have done it without all of you.
