the landscaping projects begins; happy fourth!

Ned and I have taken the first step to our new, fabulous yard! On Saturday a landscape crew came out to clean out almost everything in the backyard and trim down a ton of other stuff. In the 3+ years we've lived here, we've never really addressed the yards before; other than mowing and some minor planting/weeding. Things had gotten out of control! Messy and out of control.
Here's an a before/after shot:















I LOVE the rock wall! So cool. So we're going to start drawing up some plans and figure out what to do to make over our yard. Exciting! we can't wait to spend some more time back there with the boys.

Also, today is the Fourth of July! Weeee! We started off the morning with some salmon for the doggies and some homemade blueberry pancakes for us. They were bomb! I had never made pancakes from scratch before, super-easy and just about as fast as using a mix. Later, we hung out with the fam at Uncle Jeff's place and played horseshoes and drank tequila. Awesome. Hope to catch fireworks tonight off the deck. Double Awesome.
