Memorial Day Weekend Fun!!

Well, I decided to get Jake a grill for his early Father's Day gift so we could use it now!! It is nice. We had a little party on Memorial Day and tried it out. It was fun, we made Hamburgers and Hotdogs and even corn on the cob on the grill! Yummy. It was all so good. We picked a really good watermelon too.
I got this little fireplace for Christmas and we just got it put together. We had smores and enjoyed the fire. It was fun and in a few weeks we shall have grass in our yard!! YAY
Emma liked the fire. She didn't get too close and played in the yard with her cousin. She has fun and never liked coming back inside from playing!


This is what our yard looked like before we raked it and softened the dirt by tilling it. Not so pretty!



Sara we thought we picked up all the rocks!!! Boy were we wrong, lol! It seems like our yard was a rock pile, but it sure looks better now. The tiller picked up a lot more rocks so we were able to get the big ones out.




I finally got some help on my yard. A few of the Mexicans brought their tools over and tilled up the yard. It made the dirt so soft, then they racked the whole thing. It looks so good, that we don't even want to plant grass now if only it could stay that beautiful!! LOL Well they finished and picked up all the rock so now if is perfect. We went and started the sprinkler system and found out that tilling the yard was not such a good idea cause the sprinkler lines were not that deep and a few of them got cut. We had some geisers that we had to fix before the next step but we are moving along!! :)





I found another one of those signalong church song books for Emma. Mom got her one awhile ago and she loved it but broke so time for a new one. It has the same songs, with a microphone. She enjoys it!
