The yard almost done
Ben and Jade working together.

We finally got our grass for the back/side yard. It is really the side of our house but we call it the back. It has been a long time coming, maybe it will cut down on all the dirt in the house. I went to Cedar on Friday to pick up the grass and when Ben got home from work that night we starting laying it down. We had Ben's nephew Jade help us out and he earned every penny he got paid. Ben told him if he wanted to come help and worked hard he would pay him 10 dollars. Of course almost every kid is willing to help if money is involved. Jade worked hard and did a really good job. My parents came when we were almost finished so my dad helped with the rest of what needed to be done. Thank you Jade, Mom and Dad for all your help we appreciate it. Patton and Addilee loved every minute of everything they wouldn't leave the yard and wanted to play on it all night. It was almost like they had never seen or played on grass before. You would have thought anyways. It was lots of fun and lots of hard work but we got it done and it was well worth all the work. Now we are going to install a cement wall all across the back of our yard. It will be so good to have a fenced in yard so the kids can just play and play. I can't wait till it is all done the finished project will be wonderful.
About our dogs we have had Charlie for 7 years and he is a golden retriever and is the best dog ever. He is getting old so we decided to get a new puppy for the kids which is a boxer/lab mix. He is so cute and lazy Addilee decided that she wanted to name him Pluto so we said it was okay. Not long after we got him we were playing outside with him and she said to me mommy when are we going to paint Pluto yellow? I starting laughing and told her that he was black and that you can't paint dogs. I think it kind of broke her heart so now she always is asking my dad when is he going to bring the paint over so she can paint Pluto yellow.
It's amazing how grass, a swingset, dogs, toys and the outdoors can be so much fun. How could it not. It's wonderful, love it. Chas is working on our swingset, it's quite the project, but a little hard work makes it all the better.
