Our backyard!

We are just beginning our final trek to a finished backyard! After 2 1/2 years of DIRT and in one case, just rock, we are THRILLED to be starting our process towards finishing a backyard! It will be SO NICE not to have to wash the boys off of dust, mud and dirt EVERY TIME they step foot outside our back door! The first part is our extended patio! In about another week, we'll be finishing the remainder of the year with grass, trees, rock and bushes! We are so excited! Keep watching the blog as I'll be posting more "progress" pictures, but they are to be finished by at least Christmas! YAY! An end in sight!

Framing the patio!

Laine watching them pour the cement into the framed area!


The boys LOVED watching the cement get poured into the barrels!


Almost the last wheel barrel of cement to fill the area! I think they came back and forth about 50 times until it was completely full!


The guy working on the smoothing. The most amazing "process" to watch!

Doesn't that look GREAT!? :) So smooth and nearly perfect!

Making Chavalah's handprint! Let me just tell you, that was extremely difficult!!!
