In preparation for Mom and Dad to come visit and help us get a lot of work done with our house we started working on the backyard. We have a long list of things we are going to have Mom and Dad help us with, so we figured we better get started so we can get the list done by the time they leave. We are wanting to put sod down in the backyard in the next week or two but we first need to clear out some over grown, unwanted flower beds to prepare them for the grass. The part of the fence where the flower bush is still up is how that whole side of the fence used to look, now it is completely cleared out. We need to finish up some finer details in getting a lot of the weeds and things out of the dirt but for the most part that section is done. We still have another bigger section that has become infested with weeds. It will be more of a challenge to get that section cleared. We also have several pampas grass bushes to take out so we can extend our lawn towards the back fence. Man, I'm tired just typing all that, and this is only the backyard. We still have several huge bushes to remove from the front yard and some major tree trimming to do. Home ownership is HARD WORK!
You may notice Paisley is playing in the dirt and think "that is very unlike Stefanie to let her play in the dirt." Well she was such a good helper and she was having so much fun that I turned my head away and didn't pay any attention to her getting so dirty and we gave her a bath later.

Yes it was very unlike you but as you now know, she survived and you survived and so perhaps she can do it again sometime?
Good job Stef! Dirt, like milk, does a child's body good! :)
Why do you have to pull out all of the bushes? The grass plant is beautiful and I'm getting ready to spend a fortune to create flower beds and put in grass bushes! Don't do it! Save the bushes!
Have fun with Mom and Dad.

So you finally got it done! Great. We should come visit and see it live.
