Six years ago we built our home. My hubby and I were the sub-contractors so alot of the work was done ourselves with the help of family and friends. We put our heart and soul in this house. I have done most of the plantings of trees and plants myself. I enjoy it. Yesterday, as I drove up the driveway I realized how the bushes, trees and plants are finally getting established and are not so tiny anymore. Spring makes everything look so pretty I thought I would snap a few pictures...
Oh, and of course, Belle and Kadie had to have their picture taken too!

    Wanna come do my yard? The city just replaced sewer lines and when they laid the grass back down it all died! Add that with the tire marks from where they sunk their truck in the mud and we look like the Beverly Hillbilles!

    I love your house, it is just beautiful!!!

    Oh I'm soo jealous....can I smack you now? lol!! We live in a really cramped 3 Br house that needs some serious updating. You would cry if you saw our bathroom (right out of the 70's)

    Isn't is wonderful to watch your "work" grow. My husband did all of our landscaping too (and I am so proud of it). We have also planted trees for the kids on or around their b-days. Looking to plant another one soon. :) Your home is gorgeous!

    Hey! Reed and I were the 'generals' on our house too! Reed did a ton of the work, including wood floors, painting, trim, electricity, tile, landscaping, etc.

    I wouldn't do it again, but I love my home!
