Yard Work Helper

This August we will have lived in our house for 6 years,

and for 6 years my hubby has been promising we would landscape behind our back wall.

Last summer, we cleared it (actually, we paid Kaitlyn's little brother to do it).

This spring, we finally added dirt (which Eli LOVED)

A huge pile of dirt provided hours of fun ~ digging, climbing, sliding down = F.U.N. Fun!!!

Following Daddy with many loads was also fun!

Finally, after 6 years of "planning," today was the day for buying and planting ~ YEAH!!!

Mommy placed plants where she wanted them, but the boys were in charge of planting.

 While Lukey napped (and Alli was with Barbie Gramma) these two handsome men worked hard.

Okay, the big guy worked hard and the little guy had fun with worms and asking questions:-)

Daddy found lots of worms while digging and Eli could not get over how cool this was!

He LOVES worms :-)

Our plants are small, and it may be another 6 years before it looks complete, but it's finally on the way and I could not be happier.  Poor G on the other hand has a sore back but a very appreciative wife!!!
