Landscape Part 2

Heavenly day!!! We are finally done with landscaping this year. Our last battle was the backyard in a corner of the house where the grass did not grow nice and it just was blah. Fortunately we have a connection with a friend who works in a greenhouse and has a way brighter green thumb than I do! Here are some before pics as we were getting started.

We started by putting a little stone border. Before there was just that pile of dirt that you can see in the corner.

Tor and I had picked up some plants here and there, returned some again and again and made many trips to the greenhouse and hardware store to redo the underground sprinkling.
But all the work was worth it(and yes I did help lay brick, spread dirt and plant and not just give my decorative insight!!) because now.....



A cute little spot under the sunroom window.


All the plants are really little and I am excited to see them grow(as long as I remember to water them..which that is not my favorite thing to do!)


I am finally starting to see this house as more of our home. Just doing the work with Torrey and adding our own bit of taste makes it seem more like ours.


Thought I would share a few pics of the boys since they are way more interesting and cute than landscaping!

I don't know where he gets it but this little man is already into doing tricks on his bike. He will also ride it sitting sideways and standing up. I don't know where his pants ended up for this one?!


And this picture just makes me giggle. Cameron was shooting his dart gun(this time not at his brother or me) and decided he needed to quick write a note and his name. He sat for a whole 10 seconds and was off again. He has to be quick when he has his dart out because his little brother nabs the darts and bites the ends off. It's a game to him because he knows it bugs Cameron!
