Happy Halloween

Done

Before

After




David finished up the landscaping yesterday. It really gives the house a whole different look.

We have Sod and a Wall

When we left for our fishing trip, we only had about 2 rows of wall. When we got home, the wall was finished, the debris hauled away and the grass removed. Since Wednesday they have trenched the yard, even digging a trench to the back for irrigation, added a new paver walk-way in the front of the house. They put in the sprinkler system and we layed sod today. It looks great.

New WallNew Sod and Sprinklers...I have always wanted a sprinkler system!



This is actually a rock wall/planter. It is hard to tell just how high it is in this picture, but it is about 3 1/2 feet tall.
Rock wall and new sod.Old walkway all tore up.(In the front of the house going to the back yard.) This was an unexpected add-on. They tore out the old one while we were gone.
But it sure looks really nice now!

Happy, Happy Birthday....

For Pat's birthday we went to Agness, OR and fished the Rogue River for Chinook salmon with Jim Dunlevy. Pat caught a couple, but Lucas was the big winner. He caught 3 pretty big salmon and landed 2.

Morgan caught 1 steelhead but we threw him back for another season. He had just as much fun playing with Hannah.

Lucas tried to wack this Chinook to death.Lucas is our little angler. The boy loves to fish and the excitement we see in his eyes when he lands his fish is worth every penny.


Mom with yummy Coho...guess what we are having for dinner!

We had a great time with some great stories from the trip that I can't wait to blog about. Our family and friends will remember our honeymoon trip, that almost ended in annulment, to the coast on the Galice-Gold Beach road? But alas the laundry awaits and it smells like fish.

Happy Birthday

Today is my mans birthday. Thank you for "growing young" with me, I look forward to many more!

Happy Birthday to Mike as well.

Day 2

More digging, connecting a water valve for the sprinkler system, delivery of wall blocks

Eyebrows

Okay just something fun.  I was looking at pictures of Kellen that Toni had posted and noticed that he had an eyebrow just like Morgans.  One that grows a different way from the rest.  Morgan has been plucking at his to keep his 'uni-brow' in check but they are mirror images!  They have to get it from their dads!

Signs of progress

The landscapers didn't show on Tuesday, but they showed up today and made a huge mess.

David keeps telling me it is a sign of progress.





 

Know What...

got Pat excited this morning? Seeing a woman out moving rocks all by herself before 8:30am.
The sexy orange scarf didn't hurt either!The Kubota was dropped off last night and the digging will begin sometime today.
