Mother's Day/Father's Day Gifts....

Being a homeowner, there are so many projects that always need to be done. And, of course, there is never enough time (or money!) to get everything done when you want it done! Within the past year, we have changed so many things about our house. We have lived in our house for almost 3 years now (hard to believe!), but little by little, we keep updating it and making small changes. Besides the basic painting to update our house, we have remodeled our bathroom (totally gutted it!), tore out the carpet in our house and added wood flooring.
Our latest change to our house has been our landscaping. We've tossed around the idea of redoing it, but really never had to. With Miss Laney receiving a swingset for her 2nd birthday, we know we will be spending a lot of days and evenings outside. While she is enjoying her new swingset, we are enjoying our new landscaping!

She loves loves loves it!

We are so happy with how it turned out. It was a lot of hard work, especially on Benji's part. Getting a total of 10 tons of rock and unloading it is HARD work! That boy deserves a little credit! Thanks, Benj! We are already loving our new backyard. Grilling out, playing with the kids and dogs, listening to music (Benji's Bose SoundDock for his 30th bday...another AWESOME investment!), and having a few cocktails are some of our favorite things to do in our new and improved backyard!
