Tree-Be-Gone

Stephen has been wanting to cut our trees since we moved in. I have managed to save them for 3 years:) It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. And as a plus side we can now use our fire place next winter.

This one was my request, I really love this tree, mostly because it provides our only shade in our football sized yard. So I was able to save 1/2 of it:)
Now our next projects:
  1. I just bought a trampoline yesterday for $15 bucks!!! That's right, I'm super proud of myself for that. Stephen's buddy is going to bring over a back hoe and dig a hole for it.
  2. Sprinklers, sprinklers, sprinklers. This'll be great to have done, no more trenches in the yard to break our legs in.
  3. Laying sod - not everywhere, but someplaces are very crucial as I raked so well last fall that it's all dirt (in prepping for sod)
  4. Vegetable Garden! Yeahy! Can't wait to start planting again! Jack is already practicing digging with his shovel with me.
  5. Fixing the front fence so Jack/dogs can't get out through the gap.

Lucky Stephen, he get's to do most of these on his own this year because of my pregnancy. I think he is getting tired of my honey-do list:)

Great find on the trampoline! We just got a swingset that we now have to prep the yard for... possibly cutting down trees, but hauling dirt to level the ground and then trying to put together a swingset... It will be fun!
And I don't know if I missed it or am totally out of it (which I have been lately) but congrats on the pregnancy.
