Mariel's First Sprinkler Experience

These are a little out of order, since I last posted pictures from our getting ready to go to Illinois ... but they are so fun that I had to share them. Mariel had such a BLAST learning about how the sprinkler worked. It took a few turns, and the sprinkler got her quite a few times smack in the face, but she loved it. It was so great to be able to go out and enjoy our new yard.

Mariel's First Sprinkler Experience

We got such a kick out of watching Mariel play with the sprinkler! We had put in our new backyard, and were so happy to see Mariel being able to enjoy it. She had a BLAST!
These pictures are out of order, compared the one's that I've already put in... but I had to share these... they are too cute. :)

One cooled off, wet, summer baby.

All Eric and I could do was close our eyes and say "OUCH" and "OHHHH"... she quickly learned that the sprinkler moves from side to side, therefore she had to get out of the way.

But it got her again... and again...and again.

From Start to Finish!

Here it is... the journal of our hard work on our new back yard! We finished laying the sod today and it is truly amazing how nice it turned out.
We'll be playing and jumping on it in just a couple weeks! Enjoy!

Prep work... killed off the old grass and raked, raked and raked to get rid of the foxtails. Eric dug out around the juniper stump to prepare for getting ride of it.
