Putting in the lawn

Summer has swept us away. So much to blog about so little time. I am going to document in the right order. We have since painted the front of the house but haven't finished the trim so that is for later. Here is a long awaited update on the house. There was no grass in the backyard and the front yard was weed in infested so we killed it and put in new grass. When I say "we" I mean Jamin. He put days of work into preparing this yard to have sod lay on it. He rota tilled the back and front yard, added top soil, and rolled it. We had my dad and nephews drive down to help lay the sod but as we began our process one saturday morning the same men who trimmed our trees happened by and offered to lay our sod for a couple hundred dollars so we went to the beach instead. A proud moment for us when a few weeks later we actually got to mow the lawn. I'm sure we wont always be excited to do that. Most of the plants were taken out of the front yard so it looks quite different from when we moved in. The front door is new too.
