Landscape escape...

Ok so i know i am so behind but finally i posted it...Our landscape! First we talked about doing our yard for a year and finally we just decided that we were doing it..so i drew (with my amazing drawing skills) what i wanted it to look like. Then Dan and I went to star nursery a couple time checked out all the plants.. Took pictures of most of them and then came home talked about it some more..finally bought all the plants and bushes and trees and flowers and everything that we needed..that was one LONG day!..Then Dan did everything else..and when i say everything i mean everything.. We did have a ton of help from so many people! Thanks to everyone who helped us! especially Liz and Jason you guys helped out more than you know! anyway the pictures are more fun to look at and they make it look a ton easier then it was but we love it and it has been so fun to have grass and a backyard to play in!! enjoy!!

The picture below is the first one i drew but i took the picture on top to star nursery with me and would show the employees and ask them what would be best or look best and you should have seen their faces when i would show them my amazing picture..It was pretty funny!

I am proud of my drawing!!
I put the pictures in the wrong order but you get the idea...so these next few pictures are the finale outcome...









This was a funny day trying to get this tramp in..what a nightmare!




Dan is the best! He actually made the yard look exactly how i pictured it and that is why i married him! :)





Ryan and Titan Loved helping Dan with the yard work! especially when they got to ride the big machinery!
