We wanted to redo the back yard with some of our tax return this year. We got started early (before we even did our taxes-Heck! Before we even got all our W2's!) and with the help of friends we got the back yard ripped up from the old grass, rocks, tree roots, dog poop, etc. During the process Rusty didn't lay in the dirt. He would use the cement or tramp as a resting place. He also wouldn't poop in the dirt. We were really hoping his habits would continue when we put sod in the back.

With the help of a friend, Todd redid all the sprinkler lines and sprinklers in the back and also put in two new water taps that are going to be really nice to have. We laid some pavers around the tramp so we have a good edge to mow against (and it just looks good). One day while I was at soccer practice Todd went and got sod and started laying it all out. It was a fun surprise to have when we got home!

Rusty's been pretty good NOT to use the new grass as his bathroom but I can't say he's never done it because that would be a lie. It's one of our favorite places to be together now that there's some nice green to run on. Bring on the sunshine!

that's awesome! I'm so excited to get a back yard. We are hoping for some tax love ourselves, but we are slackers and haven't done our taxes yet. Hopefully before summer we might have some sod in the back...
WOAH!!! Looks nice! Wanna come over to my house next ;)
