I'm sure it's not what's on everyone elses list of exciting news, but you know when you start a project from scratch you tend to be particularly proud of your work. Well, Chris and I are extremely happy at the job we have done on our landscaping. Not only did we save tons of money by doing the project 100% ourselves, but we also made it completely custom. We also learned ALOT along the way.. LOL. Here are a few pics of our progress on the yard..
The first picture is far into the process already. Here we are laying our sprinkler line for the grass. As you can see we have already planted our trees (which are dead in this picture thanks to the Frost damage we had). Also Chris has already extended our patio and made an additional patio on the bottom right hand corner of the photo where our fountain is going to go. We are not 100% done with the backyard yet, we still have to put the fountain in the base and seal it up, run electric to it and viola! We'll be done with our little paradise. Here is a pic of Kaylee in our front yard with the custom wall Chris made and our trees in already.. 
thanks to Alan's hard work as well, these huge palm trees were put in our front yard. Also, we owe alot to our neighbor Chad for helping almost every time we were outside. The front yard is done completely and we couldn't be happier. We decided to go with a tropical theme, and the rock that we put into the front yard is so small it looks like sand from a distance. Our neighbors quickly called it the "Tropical Paradise." And that makes us so happy that others appreciate our hard work. (Seeing as they were probably sick of us working on it for so long.. it took almost 4 months.. but hey.. it's nice!) One of our neighbors liked it so much he is copying our wall that we built, and a few of our other ideas. It makes you feel good to know that you inspire people with your hard work. Well, here is a picture of the front yard finished.. it's bright outside so it might be hard to see all the details.
Here is a picture of what the backyard looks like right now too.. 
As you can see we ended up replacing almost all of our trees that died during the frost damage. Here is a close up of the patio where we are not done building the fountain base.. but it will be done shortly.. We are extremely excited for everyone to come over and enjoy the final product. We are going to have a celebratory BBQ for the big occasion. Another cool thing.. we started our own little garden. We have three tomatoe plants and they are growing so fast! Here's some pictures..
