What a Weekend!

We had such a great 4th of July Weekend. (Ours was Friday and Sat.)

The whole fam showed up for a family BBQ after a long day of yard work.

Kirra learned how to do a backbend this past week at gymnastics. Yay Kirra!


This is a shot of the soon to be (in the fall) a wonderfully lanscaped front flower bed. We hope to put a tree, bark chips, plants etc. as well as some height.
David and his dad cleared this flower bed and broke up all of the concrete strip for more flowerbeds.
BEFORE: Front of house. All of the four trees against the house are gone, the two little trees (one pictured) with pink flowers are gone, the wagon wheel is gone, the cement squares around the pink trees are gone...that's what's done so far.
Also BEFORE: The rocks to the side of Kirra are soon to be gone and curvy flowerbeds put there too. That cement strip is gone too. The rocks farther behind Kirra are all gone too.
This piece of concrete also came up. That front strip of grass that is missing was put on the otherside of the driveway to fill in the squares that were vacated last month in the main front lawn. There were two little pink trees (see previous BEFORE pic) that we took out. Yay, progress! This strip will be a tree or two and flower beds too.
Marilyn and I cleared teh garage and in two days got it all organized and our van INSIDE! Yay, more progress!
Our clean and organized garage.

Our van in the garage!
