The BEFORE picture
Getting stuff delivered---we loved watching the big dump trucks
Getting the rock wall in place
About half way done--looks better already!
Rest of the wall and some plants in
Flagstone to help fix the builders stupid driveway mistake
The left side of the house completed
Closer up of left side
The AFTER picture-we love it!
Quotable Quotes along the way from Jacob:
"I think I want to be a landscaper now. But I only want to drive the Bobcat and put in the grass. I don't want to do all that rock work." Smart boy--pick out the fun stuff.
And my favorite was the day it was done, he woke up the next morning and said,"We aren't white trash anymore Mom! Well, maybe just a little since we still haven't done the backyard." I almost peed my pants. Do you think he heard us joking around. Oh I love that mind of his!
We can't wait to play on that grass once we are allowed to walk on it. Then anyone is welcome to join us on our tiny patch of greeness!

It looks so great Mindy! I LOVE the WT comment from Jacob-hilarious.
That's Awesome!
It looks so great! How great that you guys got so much done so quickly...that was a lot of work! Way to go, it looks amazing!
That is so funny about Jacob saying you aren't white trash. I can almost hear you say it to Bart! I'm glad to see you have some drought tolerant landscaping in there. Smart!
Things look fabulous! How nice to have it all done and ready for summer. Way to go Bart on the design, too!
It looks so nice! You guys have been busy!
So fun to get your yard landscaped! I can hear that wt comment coming from you...must have passed it along to the next generation! Isn't funny to hear our kids repeat things we say? Anyway, you have a serious cake decorating talent....are you self taught? It puts my bday cakes (I mean cupcakes) to shame. Will you pass along some pointers?
Yea! It looks beautiful!
LOVE it! Green makes me happy! Time for a bar-b-que!
hey I just found your blog! Happy day for grass! I love the comment by your son! how funny!
The pictures are beautiful and Jacob once again is hilarious! And if he wants to pursue his landscaping dreams, send him to our home, we will hire cheap labor!
Hey there! Now I've found you too. Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day - looks like you and I are doing the same thing lately, which is LANDSCAPING. I can't tell you how much I love paying other people to do my work. Awesome. I wish my stint in Primary hadn't been so short - who knows how often I will see you after today!
