The after shot: This is the first year since we moved here that we are not the most white trash house on the block! We actually got off our rear ends, weeded the flower beds, and put down bark-o-mulch. You may be looking at this photo and thinking "big deal, it still looks like crud," but although it's not a vast improvement, trust me when I say our yard looks a lot better.
Daddy's little helper (except not so much help at all)
Notice Hailey shoveling the bark back out of the garden, and into the bucket.
Uncle Alex came for a visit, so being the kind considerate hosts we are, we put him to work! He was nice enough to use his truck to pick up the bark, and help us spread it out. We really enjoyed having him (and not just because he did so much work :)

The kids loved having their uncles come visit. Uncle Adam came too, but unfortunately became very ill so we didn't torture him by taking pictures. Hailey was very sad that they had to go so soon, but we look forward to visiting with them this summer when we go to Idaho (or "hi ho" as Hailey calls it)

What fun and the yard lloks great. Ahhhh the up keep it never ends, we sometimes have to choose, weeds or kids, way to pick kids most of the time : )
The yard does look great! Looking at the pix I can almost smell the bark-o-mulch! Hailey the Helper-loved the pictures. BTW We'll be there in about a month!!!
Getting outside work done feels so good, especially when the sun is shining and you're doing something to beautify theh yard. I'm glad you had a big helper to offset your little helper. :-)
It looks good! Didn't Travis get to help?
