Walking baby!!

Sweet Baby

After all the hard work...

So we finally decided its time to landscape our backyard. This whole year it has been just plain dirt. We were getting so sick of it and smalls just dug holes all over and dust was getting in our home so much it was a pain! Robs amazing parents flew out here to help us do it. They were serious life savers!! There is NO WAY we could have done it without them. Well we could have tried but...it would have taken FOREVER and we probably wouldn't have done a very good job. It was a lot of preparation but well worth it.
Judy and I decided to make trellises ourselves instead of buying them. So we cut the wood to the right size nailed it together and painted them. It was actually pretty fun.

Rob and I laid out the sod all by ourselves yesterday on Halloween day. It took all day long but.. we got it in. We didn't realize how heavy sod rolls are. Thanks to a neighbor of ours who let us borrow their wheelbarrow. Without that we wouldn't have gotten it done in one day

all the plants are mini right now, but they will grow and it will look much better. Once the vines grow on the trellis it will add a lot too.

We wanted it pretty much all grass and simple and that's what we got. Its so nice looking out the window and seeing green grass instead of dirt. Its relaxing and we cant wait till we can go out and play with smalls and Makayla! It was tons of work, but....YAY ITS DONE!!!!

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Little miss Makayla was a very cute lady bug. Surprisingly she never tried to pull on her antennas which was pretty amazing. Our neighborhood had a barbecue which was a blast and mnm got to play with all of her friends. We have a couple neighbors who have baby girls all around Makayla's age so it was fun to get them together for a picture. They weren't wanting to cooperate though so it was impossible to get a good shot.
after the barbecue we went over to a friends house and made a ginger bread haunted house and hung out. It was a great night!!
