This is Courtney Alyssa here helping my mom out. . . sigh. . . yet again;)
This spring break our family decided to take on the mother of all yard work.. .relaying grass on the WHOLE yard! :\
So a few weeks ago we had the missionaries over for dinner. . . they offered to help lay the sod.. .just our luck! ;) Gotta love the missionaries!
That was then. . . at ten in the morning TODAY the grass came SIX WHOLE PALLETS! not fun! i was sleeping(with the window open:) Then the crazy driver of a semi truck came honking his horn about 8 times and i wanted to kill him! OH WELL! life moves on :) i probably needed to get up anyway.
The Work Crew :) our missionary in the back with the red shirt looks like Taylor Lautner ;) tehe
the front yard
the back yard. . . this has been dirt for as long as we can remember. . . when we finished jordan said "this is weird having grass back here. . ."
SIGH yes yes GRASS! not as good as Utah grass;)
By the grapefruit tree. . . where weeds were in heaven. . .
Finally! after one day last week pulling up the front and side yard, Monday mom and the kids raked, weeded and raked some more, and today laying the darn grass. A good 10 hours of yard work! WHAT A RELIEF!! Especially for my daddy, he works so hard to keep my mom happy and our house looking nice . . . true love :)
AND....
Gotta love the rocket launches! this launch has got to be the best one i have EVER experienced while living here. . . we were all in AW at the beauty of this! the rumble was SO loud. . .we were just outside in our front yard watching it. we've NEVER felt the rumble from our house before. . . this was a gotta see launch :D
This was about 15 minutes after the launch when the sun started to come up and the line of smoke started to LIGHT UP! haha this was AMAZING! this picture looks professional! yeah this was just from our front yard. . .not across the street, but right in front of our magnolia tree. . . dumb founded at the beauty!
