Making our House A Home

We knew when we moved into our house in December that eventually we were going to need to do some landscaping. Well the first step this spring was when the sod got put in. It made a huge difference how our house looked with grass rather than dirt. Plus it was less messy, especially when it rained!

We went and looked at shrubs, flowers, and trees countless times before finally picking some out that we liked. We were finally at home for a whole weekend so we decided that would be the perfect time to get it done. We had beautiful weather so we decided to go for it. We went and bought all of our materials and started Saturday morning. It wasn't until Sunday night that we finally finished but for our first time we think it looks pretty good.

Here is our house before we started!

Here are the plants and mulch ready to be planted.

First things first, we had to remove all the sod from where we were going to landscape. It took a little more time then we originally planned.

We can't have a post without a picture of the cute baby! He was such a big help!

Everything is planted, so here Andrew is putting the mulch on.

We are done! Here is Brayden and I posing by the finished product.

Daddy and Brayden showing off their hard work! We really like how it turned out!
