Backyard

This is the only before pictures I have of the backyard.  Just imagine tumbleweeds taller than Kade all over.  It was so awful I didn’t take pictures.

We have lived in a lot of different houses with a lot of different fences for the dogs.  The only thing we have ever found to keep them in is laying wire fencing down on the ground so they can’t dig.  If you look closely you can see it.

I’ve always wanted a buried trampoline and we go out every night that I’m home and play on it.  Kade loves it.  Jaxson likes it ok but would rather play in the sandbox.

Kade discovered jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler is fun.

It is the best thing ever to be able to go in the backyard and not come in covered in dirt.  The dogs are in heaven and are cleaner than they have been in years.  Next summer we will put in a patio up by the house and a fire pit area in the big circle and plant the bushes and flowers.  We tried to put in as many areas as we could that wouldn’t be grass but even with a playground, trampoline, garden, patio, and fire pit we still have tons of grass and a huge area in the back that is still weeds.  Neither of us can tell say why in the world we have so much yard.  We thought when we were picking a lot that we needed a large space for the dogs. Good gracious we were dumb.2

Oh I am sooo grass envious. We get sand blasted everyday from the wind and because we have no yard. We are also surrounded by all dirt lots. I am SOO SICK of cleaning up the dirt. Hopefully next spring we can do at least the front yard. You do have a lot of grass.
