Working in the Yard

We had a big hole in our backyard where the previous owners had a big pool. Shawn and my Dad (with a little "help" from Ethan, filled it in with dirt (It took 17 yards, which is a lot. It took them 5 trailer loads full, with each load carrying an average of about 3-4 tons of dirt.) Ethan thought it was a lot of fun playing in the dirt, especially since Grandma and Grandpa brought a wheel barrow and a rake that was just his size. After all the dirt was in, they planted grass seed and it it really coming in nicely now. Shawn will even be able to mow the new grass soon; probably this weekend.














Taking a break with Grandma
Ethan helping Dad and Grandpa level the dirt before they could plant the grass.
Aren't these tools just the perfect size! Ethan had so much fun with them.



Our little boy is such a boy! He loves to play in the dirt and tries to eat it.

  2. I found you! Yay! I have yet to come to your house... hopefully someday! And Ethan is absolutely adorable. It looks like he had fun!

    Is this what Shawn was referring to when he said "Your dad even makes work fun!" Haha...that's awesome. I'm glad they get along so well!
