WE HAVE GRASS!

WE HAVE GRASS! I am so excited! It was truly a miracle. We weren't going to be able to have grass for a long time, but then a miracle happened. My mom was on the second-hand sod list at a sod farm across the freeway, and they told her that we probably wouldn't get enough for our whole yard (if we got any at all) because it is a busy season. However, the other morning, they had two huge cancellations and we were able to get our whole yard of sod and extras for half price! It looks so amazing! Here is before:


And after:

We had the kids working for us for a while, but they got hot and jumped into our pool! The adults were helping the neighbors move, since this was completely unexpected, so we had no adults for the first hour or so.

We called my dad the work horse because he dragged this extra wood around to flatten the ground!

Eventually, we had a couple more neighbors come over. Thanks so much to Ryan Freeman, Jeff Compton, Marty Sandgren, and Jon Bacon, and of course, my mom and dad!
