Last weekend my dad took Jason on the annual men's golf trip. My mom decided to come and visit since both of the boys were gone. We got the whole yard done! It looked somewhat like fern gully and was in much need of work. We took out 12 stumps and cut down trees, mulched, and planted several new plants. Last year Jason and I focused so much on the inside of the house, the outside didn't get any work. Everything is finished and we can relax...until we get our puppy.

This is the mess that we started with.

Cutting down the overgrown trees.

The finished yard. We planted several things that have yet to come up.

The deck from the back of the house. The fence is getting done sometime this summer.
