Backyard fun

We are finally starting to make this house our own... I've spent the last two days painting and my legs are so sore from climbing up and down chairs and ladders all day.  There's still a long way to go but I'll share some pictures soon.

But, here's our back yard. This back yard is what sold us on this house.  As soon as Garrett and I saw it, we just loved it and knew it was perfect for us.

Despite what this picture make it seem like, the backyard is actually shaded for most of the day, which is why there's the big dirt area... it's hard to grow grass there!  Hopefully we can get that remedied soon.  We had the play set written into our contract, and that concrete pad is actually a half basketball court... perfect for the girls to ride their bikes on!

Along the back of the yard is a wire fence, with a huge wooded lot behind it.  Whoever owns the lot keeps animals on it, and we regularly have visitors!  We have seen cows and lots of goats so far.





Yeah.... the dirt spot is definitely a favorite place for Ellie to play.




The girls have never taken baths as often as they are now!

The recipes in your last post look yummy! And the girls are getting so big--Abby in particular looks quite grown up. What a fun backyard!

Summertime fun (and mud). Looks like the girls are enjoying their new backyard. Abby looks beautiful in the picture where she's alone and looking right at the camera.

Those are beautiful pictures of your girls...even the one of her filthy hand. ☺
