Putting in our Yard Yea! About time

So for some of you, you already know that we have our yard in. But for the rest this is new to you. We are so excited to have our yard in. It was alot of work for Cory. Especially when you have a little helper. Niklas had a blast helping Cory with the yard from putting the dirt into the wheel barrel. It was fun. Cory then decided to go and rent a little bobcat. It was way to funny to watch him actually drive it.
But what can I say it made all the difference in the world. We were able to move that dirt in half the time. We also let Niklas have a ride in the bobcat. Unfortunately I forgot to get the camera for that. But he had a blast. He loved to watch Cory move the dirt in the bobcat.
Until we got our sod, this is how Niklas always looked when he was helping. Lets just say that Niklas got really sick of baths. But isn't he so cute. Especially when he has dirt all over his face.

But again Niklas can't stop helping. He tried to so hard to lift the sod off the palets and lay it with the older boys. We had lots of neighbors come and help and we appreciated it so much. Even one of Cory's 11 year old scouts came and helped. I guess he really wanted the service credit. We are so happy to finally have it all finished. I have to say that Cory did way more work in the yard than I did. But it has now cut down on the dirt in our house. We can now let Oreo out and not have to worry about mud. Which is wonderful. Pretty soon we will have the rest of our yard finished.

It will be so great to have the grass for Nik to play on. I can't wait until I am able to have a yard. I am so sick of the apartment life!!

And it does look great!!! She didn't tell everyone, but she is actually also sporting a pond, courtesy of her neighbor and his terrible sprinkling system. She is also growing frogs. Lucky Lou!!

How fun!!! I remember when we put our yard in. It took all summer and was such a pain, but so worth it! (you are lucky to get sod) I absolutely love the picture of Nik with the dirt all over his face.
