A Work In progress

We were able to lay down our sod last Friday and Saturday with help from family and the missionaries. Then we had a relaxing Saturday evening with Marianne's family.
Becky surprised Marianne by having beautiful flowers sent in appreciation for taking care of her children while she and Jim shopped for a house in the Phoenix area.















We have been able to pick out our bedroom and living room furniture and are happy to have it before Marianne's family visits at Thanksgiving time.








Shortly after our honeymoon, we began our landscape project.






Here is an update of our curb appeal improvement project. We have trenched the front and back yards and are now assembling the sprinklers. We have finished planting all the landscape plants which we purchased through Roy. After all this work, today Marianne has been seriously considering installing fake grass.(Just kidding)

Hey you guys we are so excited you have a blog. It is such a fun way to keep track of everyone. The yard looks like it is coming along great. Hopefully we can come out and see it sometime in the next year. We miss you! Love- Tom and Dani

Hey Marianne, I had been trying o get on Kathy's blog to see the boys pics. No luck. I found you. You had sent something in the past about your redoing the place. It looks really good!

My mom & I really enjoyed seeing Kathy & the boys. We just loved seeing the sun everyday!

Say some prayers we can sell our house soon. We need to be near family and good people.

I am anxious to attend many single adult things down there.
Have a wonderful weekend with your husband, dont work too much, go shopping,hehe. Take care ~ Cherie
