This week we had some landscapers come out and help us clear out some of our ridiculous foliage. The owners before us were very into their plants and while they had 2 hours a day to trim and deal with them, we do not. Needless to say just clearing it out was a big job. We didn't know what we would have once we got the plants out but I personally was pleasantly surprised. Our backyard looked sooooooo much bigger and Mike and I immediately had the same vision. Move the palm trees back and put in more grass for Ava (and Greyson) to run in!! So since landscaping is so expensive we decided to take the weekend and do as much as we could ourselves (by ourselves I mean Michael and Ava because Mommy is obviously not so capable of moving rocks and pulling up trees---I have definitely been the resident advisor and photographer.) We still have most of the day today to keep working but Ava wanted to come inside for a bit so I decided to get a few pictures up. Enjoy! :)
