Putting in the Yard....

Jake and Reed have been busting heavies trying to get our yard put in. The goal was Torey's birthday, and then Reed's, and now mine. It is hard work as the dirt is mostly clay and there is a lot of hand digging necessary. Jake has learned to work like a man doing things like driving the back hoe, and learning how to dig properly. He even talked Reed into a shovel just his size.
They have really been getting after it and I am so happy with their progress. Jake is a very dedicated worker and won't quit until quitting time. We have even seen Taylor out there a time or two. I think it had something to do with avoiding laundry.

Can't wait to see the progression of the yard.... Wait! I haven't seen the house yet either. Guess it's time for a drive.

Happy Birthday Reed!! You deserve a cupcake.

First Days are hard sometimes. Good luck at school guys!

I haven't seen your house yet either. It will be so nice to get the yard in. I bet it will look great...especially with the kids assistance. You guys are such great Kids (talking now to jake, torey and taylor).

Looks like fun! I avoid the laundry too, Taylor. Can't wait to see the house.

Can't wait to see how all that hard work will turn out. Make sure you plan the sprinklers around a trampoline though.
