Planting our Bank

The bank in our backyard is a mess. We got an estimate from a landscaping company that was WAY too high, so we decided to try to tackle it ourselves. Here are some photos of our efforts (well, I really only supervised). The girls and Gene did most of the work.

holy canoli that looks like WAY too much work! I think we would have just had to live with the dirt cause there is no way Eric or myself would have gotten out there and done all that! LOL
Oh I updated my blog today. But no pictures. OOOH! I totally forgot about a picture I was gonna put up there today :) Here is the url:

That's how Jenna came out after Eric told her to go get dressed so we could go out for dinner with Mike and Abby! He had to take a picture cause I was in the shower and he wanted to make sure I saw it. So I think I'm gonna scrap it if I ever get the chance :)
I've been thinking of you Love you and miss you!
