Front Yard is complete!!!

I am going to claim that our front yard is complete but I am sure that we will be changing stuff as the years go by. 

We have grass in our front yard and, if I do say so myself, it looks good!!!!!

A hedge of boxwoods along both sides of the front, and a Ligustrum tree outside A's window.

We also added a Sealy Oleander in the corner near the garage. Ace Hardware had trained it to be a tree instead of a bush and I love the color and height that it adds. The only other tall thing we have in our yard is our huge Oak tree. 

I am in love with the Oleander. I know that it is poisonous but it is SO pretty. The pop of pink really stands out against all the green in our front yard. 

I know I said the yard was complete but I realized that is a lie. There is one other thing I want to add to the yard, a swing to hang from one of the Oak Tree branches. I love the idea of a swing and being able to swing out front while the kids ride their bikes or run around. 


To Do:
* put down grass
* add some color via flowers
* add a swing to hang from the Oak Tree
* create a deck area across the front step & dining area
* get setting on deck area

So excited for what our yard and house is becoming.

Yard Update

So... grass is starting to grow in the backyard. I know that this doesn't look like much but this is very exciting for us!

The grass is such a dark green and seems like it is going to be very soft and cushion-y. 

We had sod delivered on Friday for the front yard. H was enthralled with the delivery process. The whole time he was talking about grass, big trucks, tractors and helping daddy once he gets home from work. 

It kills me how he stands with his arm behind his back. Is that not the cutest thing!

The guy who delivered the grass was great. He honked the horn on the truck & the tractor for H and H was eating it up. He also let H ride on the tractor with him. I don't have any pictures of that because it scared the crap out of H. It scared him but he could not stop talking about it after the delivery was done. It was the first thing he told JJ when he got home from work.

Hope you have a great day!
