It's Coming Along

Well our yard is just about done!! All of our sod is in and it looks great, there are just a couple of yellow pieces here and there. But it should pull out of it soon. We put in a water fountain, some rose bushes, and we planted a red maple tree in our front yard in a little flower garden. And the best part; we found a place to put all of our big rocks! We put the rocks around the fountain and we lined the outside edge of our flower garden. The boys were such good helpers. We were up til 11 trying to get the fountain and the rose bushes in. We made a million trips to the back yard for rocks and the boys were right there to help. Jaxon would get 2 big rocks and lug them to the dirt and Alek would get 2 little rocks but on his way back he would stop and pick up more little rocks. So Jaxon would make two trips in the time that Alek would make one. I am so excited that we are almost done with the yard!

Jaxon and Alek took a break and were playing on the trailer with the extra sod. They were playing a game, where one of them would throw a ball off into the dirt and then go get it, but when the one would be off getting the ball the other one had to lay down on the sod and pretend to be asleep. I was laughing so hard. They played this game forever.This is really how Alek sleeps, his butt is always sticking up in the air

Here's Braden working hard. He had to run wires for our fountain and our lights. I'm glad that he works so hard to get our house done. I love him!

I didn't read the description for the pictures before I looked at them and thought that jaxon and alek were really asleep on the sod.
That would have been hilarious!
