It's About Time!


Well, as some of you know, our backyard has been nothing but a big dirt pile for MONTHS!! Arlan worked so many hours to get our rock wall finished and it looks georgous!! We finally finished everything last weekend. Planting, seeding and mulching. My back hurts and I've got a few callouses but it was all worth it.

Jon Chappell did the design and the kids, as you can see from above, helped with the physical labor as did Arlan and I.




Below is the pictures of the semi finished look. The rock wall and steps, and some of the flower/plant beds that we landscaped with.
I can't wait for next spring to arrive and see all that hard work bloom into vibrant colors and a cozy backyard!!

i'll tell you, children were given to us to do the hard work and it's just nice to see someone truly putting that into practice. it's about time parents step it up and get some help around the house!!

It's been awhile since I checked your site...looks like y'all have been busy! Wow, I love the rock wall, what an improvement over that old prickly ground cover & oversized bushes! The boys were just looking at the pictures on your last couple of entries & wishing that they could go to Trey's house to play again. Kendric wondered "Is Trey a boy now?" :-) ;-) Not sure where that question came from!
