Landscaping!

This spring we decided to work on our front yard landscaping! Over a couple of weeks we visited nurseries and got ideas on what we wanted out front. Then Jon headed out bright and early memorial weekend to get the plants out at west olive nursery! What a great place to go for deal! The kids enjoyed lunch outside with some friends - which they loved!

the kids even got to help.

We called this the loading dock and the kids loved it that we let them fill the wheel barrel with dirt!

The biggest/hardest part of the whole project was the rocks! A couple of the rocks we bought weighed 700 lbs each! Wow! Jon had to drill one of them and then use a sledge hammer to break it in two...it all worked out! We inlisted several family members and neighbors for help on moving these! Thanks guys!

No we just need to wait several years for the plants to mature! :)

Its so fun to have some plants and color out front! Maybe next year we'll work our way around the side of the house! :)
