Now our entire yard is covered in beautiful green grass. Yeah!!! We didn't have time to finish the front yard before it got too hot in the spring, but now we don't have anymore dirt to worry about!!! No more kids sitting and digging in the dirt as soon as they walk out the front door regardless of what they are wearing or where we are going.
Also our neighbor is getting ready to pour a huge cement RV pad all along our property line. As they were getting ready we realized we were going to have about a foot drop off or end up with all the water from his yard creating a swamp in ours. So with the help of Mike (our neighbor) and his Bobcat, Nate and him raised our yard about a foot yesterday morning. They brought fill dirt from across the street, then Mike donated some of his topsoil, and then we used some of our extra sod to cover it back up. You can see we no longer have a big slope on the side of our yard. The yards in the neighborhood tend to vary in height depending on whether they were the first house or later house with all the extra dirt. It makes it frustrating for doing yard work. We'd made the slope so our yard would level out with the house next to us, but at that time they were just starting building and the level of their land rose quite a bit. Oh and on a side note-we really need to fertilize our older grass. We just keep pushing it back so the kids can play on it. Where we're the only one of their friends with grass we hate to take it away even for a few days.
Nate made sure the sprinklers covered everything after we finished laying the sod.
Allie enjoyed watching Daddy at work.

Looks good, I love the picture of Allie laying on the sidewalk watching, very cute.
Good job - no wonder Nathan was falling asleep. Give yourself a pat on the back and take a break.
