As most of you know.  We built our home 3 years ago.  We haven't had the money to do the yard.  This is what it has looked like:

Cute home...but no grass.  This is hard on a homeschool family...especially a bunch of nature lovers like us.  lol

My hubby has been working feverishly for a few weeks getting in a sprinkler system and putting down top soil, getting my flower garden ready etc...  Today we got our sod for the front.  It's so pretty.  We spent the day laying it out and fitting it to our yard.  I just had to share pictures.

This is my hubby (middle) our 15yos (right) and a gentleman from our church who dropped by to help.

Even the little ones got in there and helped.

My 7yos:

and my 9yos:

and here is the (almost) finished product:

Tomorrow we put in some flowers, strawberries, and maybe a bird bath and some flowers to attract butterflies.

Our whole family is so excited!  I just want to do the happy dance.  We also poured a cement patio in the back, and have a fire pit framed so we can sit in the back yard by the fire and gaze at the mountains...when we aren't hiking and camping in them!  lol

Did we do okay?  Hubby used to do this stuff when we first married.  He worked two jobs, one running a printing press and another doing landscaping.  Doing this lawn brought back a lot of good memories.
