Oh yes, this is what we all dream of....the American Dream...Our piece of this great land. Isn't it beautiful????
Well, it will be very soon. We have started the landscaping of our backyard. As you can all see.. we really don't have a lot of privacy. We kind of have a lot of neighbors. For those of you who don't live in California, you are probably thinking that we are crazy for being so close to each other. Out here, there isn't much of a choice.
Justin is doing all of the work. And by the way, this is very hard work. We have had 100 degree weather almost every day that he has been working. He gets up early, goes out in the yard and works for a couple of hours, then when it starts to get hot, he goes inside, showers and gets to work on his job. You know, the one that pays the bills. He works for the rest of the day and night, most of the time until after midnight. I do not know how he does it. But I am grateful that I didn't marry a lazy man.
As you can see in the pictures, Justin has had a few helpers. His mom and Bob came to help out last weekend. They were awesome! Briley and Gavin were here over the weekend so we told them that if they wanted to eat then they had to do some shoveling. :) Aren't they cute? Our kids have done a lot to help too. Especially Jacob. That kid is a work horse. He loves to help his Dad. But trust me, he is no wimp, he can really get the job done, and done well. Anyway, I can't wait till it all done. I will post the final pictures when it is finished.
We were lucky enough to get some tickets for a pre-screening of High School Musical 3. The boys wanted nothing to do with it. So I called Cher and asked if she would like to go. When she screeched into the phone "are you kidding, of course we would LOVE to go!!!" So we skipped out on soccer and all the girls headed to Downtown Disney for the event. We had a lot of fun. When the screen flashed on with a picture of Zack Efron, the entire theater of girls squealed in excitement. I thought it was a cute movie... except for the fact that high school is not even close to that way. But even still, it was cute. The gilrs in the picture are (L2R) Willow, Katelyn, Kaitlyn(yes, that is my daughter and her "model" pose) and Reese.
