time change and yard work.

Ok so i don't know what i am doing when i downloaded the pics because they are backwards this is suppose to be the last picture that you see so skip down to the bottom pic and work your way up!! sorry i will figure out how to do it properly next time! you have to imagine the yard being level to where john is in that hole and that there is a rock retaining wall that is U shape. Wait for the finish product. I believe by Tuesday it will be fully done, well my dads part maybe not the new plants or grass..anyone know where to get cheap sod,we want instant green grass!!

Beautiful arch...GONE!

This a pic taken from our front door above the hill is Orchard drive.

This is take from the road our drive way is to the right of this picture

This is our drive way coming from the road, the retaining wall we are doing is on the right hand side, i forgot to tak e a pic of it yesterday but all the poles are out now and it's just dirt. We are making the drive way a couple feet wider as well on the right hand side there.

this is also taken from the front door.

So it's quarter to 8am and my family is all still sleeping as janae is still on the old time clock! so yeah we all get to sleep in...well excepte me. Camryn slept through the night til 6am and then i fed her and she was up for half an hour and now has crashed and well i am awake! so i thought i would write a blog to update you on what is going on over here... outside my house. I looked out the window this morning and discovered a big dirt mound in my front lawn, all my shrubs and stairway and arch have dissapeared and i am left with is a big dirt pile and a hi hoe sitting in my yard! I am so excited my dad was finally able to fit us in in his very busy work schedule to do our yard. We live in a hole and so our whole yard is a hill! So there really is no yard space for the kidlets to play.> Janae and i played in the pool in summer in the front lawn and water only was on half the pool!! So the plan is to level out the front yard and give us a good flat surface and then build a 6 ft rock retaining wall in a U shape and then build a fence ontop and flatten the ground and then build another 2 ft retianing wall and then flatten that area to the road so our tenants have a nice parking spot. And then we have to replace our rotting retaining wall on the otehr side of our drive way. And that is all we are doing thsi time around as my dad has four days to complete this project as he is very busy with work. So here are some picutres i will try and describe them the best way that i can so you can picture how our yard looks like!

I also had a progressive day inside the house. Janaes first birthday party is next weekend so i want the hosue to be spot less. well i always want the house to be spotless but that doesnt' ever happen! So i cleaned up the living room and put away some of janae's toys cuase she has so many and doenst' play with them and then I washed the floor and not just around the chairs but i actually moved the chairs this time and really washed the floor!! and that was about it but it sure looks great!
