That’s right my friends, what you see here is grass.
About a month ago, John received the wonderful news that our landlord wanted a backyard put in. I was thrilled by this news, and suggested we have this awesome family bonding time as we work together putting it in. John, reluctantly, agreed!
The first day was perfect.
We all rallied around in the backyard and started placing rocks into buckets. It was awesome! Kids were getting along, they all had responsibility, and my plan to show them hard work was into play.
The next day, John had this great idea to put in the retaining wall for our very first garden. Once the wall was in, we could fill it with soil and I could begin my green thumbing skills.
I planted seeds and complained that the garden was boring. So, I went and bought already grown cilantro and placed it in my garden. I wish I would have done more of that but John lovingly said, “It will be a test of your patience.” So, we will wait!
I don’t even know if you can grow half the stuff in Nevada but, I went off the little chart on the back of the seeds. I have to start somewhere, right?
While I was planting seeds, kids were moving rocks, and John started the patio.
It’s not the best picture.
The patio was a pain in the buns, literally. We (I mean John) spent a lot of time making sure it was even.
The kids pooped out after a days worth of work. I tried to get them motivated again but it was “too hot and they were dying of thirst”. "(We did have water bottles outside for them but Canon kept drinking out of them. Apparently, that’s gross.)
Anyway, the backyard is pretty much done. Flowers and trees would be nice but, I think we are taking a much needed break before we finish that off.
I’m happy with the finished product this far. I loved working side-by-side with my man and kids. It was fun! (probably because John did most of the work)
WHAT?!?! A PHOTO SHOOT!!!
That’s right again my friends, I had my first official photo practice shoot.
I am not the best photog in the world but I love the practice any chance I get I appreciate it greatly. I did check with my “client” first to make sure I could post these. I had a lot of fun and I REALLY need to practice more.
This young lady is about to be baptized and these were her baptism pictures. I have more pictures but these were some of my favorite.
Well, that’s all for now!

Love the grass, love the pics. Such talent :)
Beautiful pictures! Of course, you're working with gorgeous talent, so there's that... Sincerely, they look wonderful.
The yard looks awesome!!!! You are an awesome Photog! Love the pictures!
Beautiful pictures!!! And thanks for the great lesson yesterday. By the way, you still haven't given me a "shout out"!
Those are great pictures! I love the one of the CTR ring. And your yard looks fabulous! I totally cheat and buy the starts at Lowes, and some of them STILL die in my garden. If I planted seeds, I don't know if any of them would survive my black thumb.
