Patio Project

Sooooo we decided to put a patio in this year!
August marks our 2 yr mark in the house and we have been improving since we moved in. It has been so much fun to be able to projects, like put garden in, put up a swing set, put a shed up, maintain our lovely green grass.
Our latest project is to get a patio in to enjoy this summer!
Side of the house that leads to the garage

General area of the patio

There will be a walk way from the gate past the garage and then around to the patio, and another walkway from the patio to the shed

As we were out working Isaac decided to get dressed. and although it matches (for a 5 yr old dressing himself) That is his church sweater.

Gary kept Ashley company while Greg and I moved all the pavers to the back of the house

This was my workout this morning. It was delivered on a pallet and then we had to move it all out to the backyard. Each one of those bags weighs about 50lbs. and the pavers are about 40lbs. Greg helped as much as he could but he had to go to work. We got all the bags out and he was able to get some pavers out before he left. and after he left I moved the rest (about 70 pavers at 40lbs a piece) to the backyard by myself! Luckily I got it done before it started pouring!
That is over a ton (literally) of stuff!

The pavers! I love them!

Area marked out for the patio (the square is going to be a fire pit!)

In other new, Ashley is 4 months old! and she rolled from front to back!
