We Have GRASS!!!

I feel like this event has been almost seven years in the making. Since Scott and I were first married (and quite possibly even before that), we have been talking about this "yard" that we would someday have. It sort of feels surreal to me. I know that might be a little over the top, but it's like finally we have a place where we can go outside, enjoy the fresh air, and not have to share it with ANYONE!!! Just kidding about that last part...sort of. We totally enjoy having people we love surround us, it's the whole public park thing where there are unmonitored kids using potty talk that I can do without!



WE go our sod on Tuesday afternoon, and I am proud to say that Scott and I did the front yard pretty much by ourselves. The one of our wonderful neighbors came along (YAY, Tanya!) and helped out. By the time the Bishop got to our house we only had a couple of pallets left, but he worked like a madman! He was so fast and it was good timing for the rest of us, because by that time we were pretty much out of gas. Seeing someone else work so hard helped us scrape up the last amount of energy we had. A few more people showed up, but by that time we were done.


I am so greatful for all the good friends that we have. Seriously, what would we do in this world without friends. Tuesday was a big milestone for us, because not only did we get our grass, but we also celebrated our first year in our house. One year, one yard and many good friends later, it finally feels like home.

Our boys have had such a good time with the grass. Taz said, Mom, we can do all the sports on our new grass! We can do gold, and soccer, and baseball, and football, and GOLF!" It was so cute. Mostly when we are outside, all they want to do is RUN!



These are a few pictures that are proof that we want our family and friends to com over:

Taz...RUNNING some more! We actually had our first BBQ in our yard last night. We had Haylee and Brandon, and Jeff and Grandma Shorty. It was great. Everyday my kids beg to go out on the grass. I'm sure that one day we will be tired of mowing it and the novelty will wear off, but right now it feels GREAT!
