We had a few more landscaping projects to knock off our list.
1. dig in our trampoline in the ground.
2. cut down a few more trees
3. dig out some dirt to make a level surface for an above ground pool.
4. lay pavers on our once dirt 3rd driveway.
5. haul in a bunch of dirt to level & seed our front yard.
And whatever else pops up on the to-do list!

Watching dad cut down some trees.
Grandpa & Grandma Johnson came with the bobcat to help with the earth moving parts.
The beginning of the trampoline hole.
Ohh was that a project!
We kept Viv safe & occupied in her swing while we worked on the yard.
And the boys kept busy zooming down the back hill.
Digging out the 3rd drive, getting ready for laying pavers.
Relocating dirt to the front yard.
In the midst of all the trucks hauling & dumping in our yard,
we also installed a radon mitigation system in the house
since the boys now sleep downstairs.
More & more piles in the yard!
Vance had to make sure to get a little chainsaw work done too!
Staking out the spot for the bobcat to dig out dirt for our pool.
Too bad we later realized that was the exact location of our drain field.
And the pool had to be sold!
It was a sad day,
but we said we'd get a hot tub in a few years instead.
Luke got a concussion from the last tree branch that he cut down,
so it was my turn to do some manual labor with the boys.
I rebuilt the side retaining wall AND layed the whole driveway of pavers.
It was exhausting, but worth it!
Smoothing out some dirt in the front yard.
Getting some much appreciated help from our neighbor with his tractor & lawn attachments!
