The Yard...








Here are a few pictures to let you see the progress I've made in the yard. As some of you know this is my major project for the summer and is nearing completion. Even though the "Yard fund" has been exhausted I think we are still on track for completion in early fall. My goal is to hydro seed with in a month to six weeks. most of the hard part is done its just a matter of waiting for the funds to trickle in. the front yard just needs a couple minor touches to be completely ready for seed but the back has a few bigger items to be completed. Once the wall is finished I can install the last the sprinkler heads and then its just a matter of grading and moving a lot of topsoil to the back yard. The topsoil is the hard part since I only have four feet of clearance on each side of the house it must be done by hand. I'm told that there is a conveyor that will launch it over my roof into a pile back there but the cost outweighs the benefit. Anyhow, I hope all that can be done before winter so my grass won't die over the winter.

Good! Now I can tell you your yard looks fantastic! You've done a great job with it! I'm really glad you are blogging too...maybe we can talk some more of our family into it. It would be great to see more frequent pictures of some of the cousins kids...Heather? Rian? Justin? Shane? maybe even Brian? Come on guys we need some info :) Maybe some pictures of Stephanie's races and Volleyball games, Em's plays? Alright, I know Aaron and I are the computer "nerds" of the family, but here's to wishful thinking :)

It would be nice to have confirmation of other life in our extended family. Maybe someday?! Its difficult to let everyone know whats going on but to post to this once or twice a month even would be simple and as long as everyone knows where to go look its on them if they have no idea whats going on. This is so much better than the web page cause people can comment and you know they were there.

Just realized I left Josh out of the list of cousins with kids...sorry Josh! (I left Rachel out too, but she is still on dial-up so I don't really think it's possible for her...) Michael and Shannon might want to be mentioned though. I'm sure they have lots of exciting things to share with us :)
Man, our family is getting big! There are now more 2nd cousins than first! Crazy huh?
Our cousin Rob should get a blog too. (Other side of the family.)
Well, it's bedtime. School starts tomorrow!
