We Have Grass!!!!!!!

It has been a long time coming, but we finally have grass in the backyard. We as a family now can play in our backyard. Next to come is a picket fence so I can trap my lovely children into the yard and to prevent them from being enticed by the pond that sits right behind my house :) But that wont come until next year is my guess.

So two weeks ago we, let me correct myself, Caleb (with lots of my help) started this journey I like to call grass. We started by mowing down all the gorgeous weeds and pulling out all the wonderful debris left by the crew that built our home. Caleb then tilled the ground which was a long, huge, painful, sore task. You got to love clay ground! Caleb and a friend then leveled the ground the in true Southern Red Neck style. It was hilarious to watch. Then the fallowing week we had the sod delivered and had a sod laying party were lots of Caleb's Navy buddies came and helped us lay it down. They started around 7:45 in the morning and were done by 9:45 am. It only took them 2 hours, whoo hooo! We then had a celebratory cook out. All I can say is who knew you could be so giddy about grass :o)
