Landscaping!!!!


Well, it's looking more and more like a real home. We assembled quite a crew last weekend and got all of our landscape edging/plastic/rock installed along with a Newport Plum and Spring Snow Crab Apple tree. It was a lot of work, but it all looks great. Here's Andy standing next to my cute little plum tree.
We also had a 325 sq ft stamped concrete patio installed in the back. I love it!!! Here's a couple of pics where you can kind of see it. I'll try to get better ones soon.
Maddox got a rake & shovel set to play with for the day from Grandma Michelle. He was having a blast working in the dirt.

Like father, like son.

There's the crab apple tree in the back.
Eatin' pizza for lunch. I suppose everyone needs a break sometime, right?





Isn't this cute! Jenna was so proud that she got both grandmas jumping in their shovels at the same time.

Here's the right side of the house. Not too exciting, but doesn't it look nice. We now have sod, so I'll have to get a picture of that too.
And the left side. As we add more plants and our sod grows there will be updates.



Drivin' the "digger" is Maddox's favorite thing to do with Grandpa.
Thanks to all of our TERRIFIC family members that helped to get all of our landscaping projects done. We couldn't have done it without you!!
After working all day, Corey mustered up the energy to head to an 80's party down in Cannon.

Meet Grady James!!!! Katie & Danny delivered a beautiful baby boy on the 3rd on July. Aren't they a cute little family?
Maddox wasn't into us trying to get another shot of him in the bassinet.
4th of July!!!
We went to the Apple Valley parade.Maddox had a blast listening to all of the music and seeing the horses.
He did a lot of waving at whatever went by.
BBQ!!! Saturday evening we went over to Angie & Kyle's for dinner. The boys played in the pool (hence Maddox being naked - we didn't bring his trunks).

After dinner we took the boys on a walk around the neighborhood. It was such a gorgeous night.


Pictures of the boys at dinner. Aren't they both just adorable?

Well, not much new to update for our family lately. Just hanging out post vacation and working on our house. Lots of outdoor projects done, so hopefully not too many more to go.
Maddox is doing great as always. He's busy with swimming lessons & gymnastics classes this summer and loves them both. He's almost 21 months!!!

Oh, we go to gymnastics on Tuesday mornings at 9am. We were going to do Wed evening class, but we have swimming that evening. Isn't it so cute?

Oh my gosh, It is great! Reese loves the "pit" and the running trampoline. I love that she tires out right before bedtime....What class are you signing up for in the fall?

Probably Mondays at 10:45 since Fridays are hit or miss with our plans. It looks like those are the only two choices. Are you signing up too?
