New Yard!

Hello:)
It has been quite a while since I blogged. The last time I left you, I had almost killed poor Adyson. I am happy to report that we have had no more close calls, and Adyson is doing very well. She just turned nine months old on Saturday! I can hardly believe it! I have several blogs that I want to write, so I may post several in the next few days. It should be fun reading, though. Well, at least it will be fun writing. :)
Three weeks ago, we had some guys come put new sod into our back yard and our front yard! It is increddible to see the difference. When we bought our house last spring, it had been a foreclosed home for over a year and the grass looked like it. In fact, I would say that the grass was non-grass. We had dead grass all summer last year and a mud pit in the back yard this winter. As you can probably imagine, we have had quite the interesting cleaning extravaganza everytime Charlie would come in from playing outside. I am so excited about our new grass! Ady and I have gone outside to lay in the grass several times now, and we just love it!
Here are the pictures to document the transformation! It is crazy!
This is what our back yard looked like. Rocks. Dirt. Rocks. DIRT.
And below is a picture of our front yard.
The guy came and tore out some of the rock in our back yard so we could have a nice even grassy area instead of a crazy dog-bone shape that we had in the back before. Here's the dirt all fluffed and ready for sod.
Then the sod arrived....
It took a team of five guys to put in all the sod and an entire day, but it looks great. They even fixed the sprinkler system! They did such a great job!
We all just love the grass! Here is a picture of Ady and Charlie testing out the grass for the first time. So precious!

  1. We have the same background on our blogs! :) Your yard looks great -- we might have to ask for a recommendation when we decide to take care of our "mud pit".

  2. I LOVE your new grass!!! How fun that must be for your kids. :o) Have you let Izzy go explore it at all? He would probably eat it and puke. Poor cat.
