Yard Work....

or killing the weed invasion, whatever you want to call it :)
THE BEFORE
crazy huge, i know!
so the saturday my mom was in town David decided he wanted to tackle the yard. He is in his busy season at work (dont forget about YOUR costumes) and there wont be many more saturdays he has available so since Kevin was here too, he took advantage, rented a bobcat, put Kevin to work and went to attack the invasion of the massive weed party! ha ha

Even though it was a lot of work, a full 8hrs, he said he did have fun bouncing around in the machine....men and their machines, go figure :)

Tyler took a little break outside watching uncle Kevin and Daddy hard at work
and I thought he was looking extremely cute and very giggly, so I got my camera and shot some pics!





Love the sunglasses on his head. He took them from David and wore them on his head for about 3 days straight, it was very hard trying to get them off for church the next day

Okay, all done.....
this was not the day of, this was tues night, after Craig and his dad came to level the land and after the 4 truckloads (10-12 yrds each truck) of dirt too
THE AFTER
(minus weed invasion)
Lookin' good huh?!
now we just need more dirt (is that possible-yes it is), topsoil, sprinklers, sod......and the list goes on and on and on
Thanks for all your hard work Dave, thanks to Kevin too for helping and of course good ol Craig and his dad too!!!
We'll keep you updated, hopefully we get grass before it starts to snow! :)
wish us luck that the weeds dont start coming back before that!
