I {heart} grass 

As I said before, I've learned that grass is one of the most exciting things ever, now that we actually have some! After only two short weeks our landscaping was complete. (I know, crazy! I cannot believe it was finished so quickly.) We left town for a family trip to Boise right after it wash finished, which was good, because we were given strict orders to stay off of the grass. We're back now and still aren't supposed to be on the grass much. We take quick walks on it every so often, though, and we love it! We also love all of our trees, our fences, our cool popsicle-stick gates, and our front yard mulch and bushes. Our yard finally looks and feels complete (for now!), which makes our home feel more complete.  We're grateful for what we have and look forward to enjoying our new outdoor spaces with our kids, friends, and family.

Grass begins

(It only took 2 1/2 days to do the grass. Wow.)

Stream area

(It's hard to tell, but the stream area does look much better than it did.  Tons of bushes and weeds were cleared and we now have a nice walking path as well as a large flat area for a hammock and fire pit. Nick and I also plan to do more in the future but are excited with this for now.)
