WE'VE GOT GRASS!

So Heavenly Green...

This is a piece of our yard before. The yard is pretty big and it wraps around the house. It was all rocks out back, very tough , and hot, on the feet. Tommy and I missed lounging around and having picnics in the grass, so we created our own. He spent time doing two others yards as well, and they all turned out so awesome.


After a great amount of hard work, we finally got our grass! Tommy put in 980 sq feet of sod. It is the softest, fullest, grass I have felt. Kea loves it too! Now we have our grass, a gazebo with mosquito netting curtains and patio furniture (so nice to sit in while it is pouring rain outside!), and a nice cool pool to play in. Tom really loves mowing the lawn every saturday, just like his dad use to when he was a kid. We call the grass on the other side of the pool "the football field" because it looks so perfect. Good job Tom!!




Kealani was a little hesitant to be on the grass before. She would just sit in one spot and not dare move while she looked at me with a scrunched up face. Now she loves it... running around and playing, and even trying to eat it now and then!! We love swimming, and Kea even got her own pool and had a play day with her friends. Then we took a break to eat frozen grapes underneath our umbrella from GG (Thanks GG, its perfect!). We love our little baby fishy!!

Yea! Happy day for the kids (and especially the parents!)

We miss you guys. Lisa is moving back to Orem in two weeks, so all of us will be here in town. That's insanity. We just need you guys and Craig to make it complete. :)
