Who needs a scary Halloween when all you had to do was come and look at our yard? It was truly frightening looking out and seeing everyones exquisitely and professionally done yards and only seeing boulders and rocks in our yard. 
YAHOO!! After 2 1/2 LONG years of hard work, we had grass delivered on Halloween!! On Saturday, we were so thrilled that first thing in the morning, about 10 neighbor men showed up to help Andrew lay the sod. I was so touched I was brought to tears. So I bought everybody doughnuts and chocolate milk. With all the help, it only took 1 hour to lay all the sod, front and back! It would have taken Andrew forever to do it alone. So THANK YOU to all the good neighbors who gave such wonderful service to us. 
Even though it has been so difficult cultivating our yard over the last 2 1/2 years (thanks to this ROCKY substance they call Herriman), we have grown so much as we have humbled ourselves and have done the work as a family instead of hiring someone to do it. Each member of our family spent months throwing rocks into the wheelbarrow, raking, and shoveling up dirt. But the greatest thanks goes to my husband, Andrew who has spent every minute of sunlight, before and after work and every weekend to put this thing together. WOOT WOOT! KISS MY GRASS!!

yea for the new blog back ground! And love the Kiss my Grass title- LOL! So happy that you and your cute hubby were able to finish the yard. It is great to do something yourself- and next spring you'll be enjoying it- sipping lemonade!
Yeah! It looks awesome. Guess that means I'll have to come see it sometime. :) I am so happy for you. Just in time for the snow to fly. Glad the weather was good for you guys too!
Yay for grass, now you need a puppy to help break it in! I am glad you have some great neighbors who are/were willing to help! Love the new background and I'm inviting myself over to dinner because I think your Thursday and Friday meals look/sound delish!
Hurray! Good things come to those who work!
Awesome work! It looks great! How do find the time, you are amazing. I want to come sip lemonade next summer!
Hey I am so excited about your grass. Did your bff neighbor get her little butt over to help? I miss working with you. I feel like I haven't seen you since 1902! Enjoy the fabuolous yard!!
Yeah! Good for you! We've been 're-doing' our yard (translation: ripping out the mess and doing it right) for 2 years now. Since I design for a landscape contractor- people think I must have a GREAT yard. Hello! Knowing WHAT to do and having the MONEY to do it are two different things.
