Tearing down the fence

The backyard fence between us and our neighbors was older than dirt and about to blow away…so we finally decided to tear it down and put up a new one…what a pain in the ass. It was a lot of work but Tommy, once again, did an amazing job. Later, we ended up spray painting it a dark brown to match the trim of the house. It looks great.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

This year we hung out with Holly and Scott for a little while and then made our way over to Grandpa’s house for some DELICIOUS corned beef and cabbage.  We listened to Irish music and ate away!

New Shrubs and Trees

We bought some new trees and shrubs for the backyard. Can’t wait for them to grow!
