the waterfall

I just wanted to post some pictures of Mac's awesome rock work and his rock waterfall! He has done an AWESOME job on all the rock work in our back yard. Its not finished yet but each day off he gets a little more done! So here's a little peek!

so this is a view from our deck. (yea its hard to see  much)

 I guess it shows all of the rock work that he has laid!

 

This is a picture of his waterfall. Its so cool sounding.

Throughout the pond area Mac has statues placed in various areas.

This fish statue is pretty cool. He placed it in the center of the pond area. It is solar powered and the ball lights up at night.

These cat tales are solar powered and they are pretty during the day but they are even cooler at night when they are all lit up!

the bench that we redid is just off to the right of the pond. Its so relaxing to go sit on our newly panted bench and listen to the water and admire Mac's hard work.

 Mac set these stepping stones below the bench.

 its a fun little accent to the area

this is just another statue that is on the hill.

Mac took some of the larger rocks and made some steps so that we could get to the top of the hill. The picture does not do them justice.

Well that's it for now. More to come soon. We still have lots of work to do to finish up the hill.

Happy Memorial Day!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!

Thank you to those who have fought for us and for our freedom and then gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. I hate war and all that our soldiers have been through, but I am sure thankful for our freedom. Thank You Thank You to all of those who have served our country!! We appreciate you!

We hope that everyone is having a good Memorial Day!!

Our day is a lazy one. Bry is sick and down with the stomach flu. So we are all just laying low and hanging out!

We may still do some BBQing after Mac gets home from work. What is memorial day without some good eats that are cooked from the grill!

our deck

 This is a project we have been working on for a while now. Our back deck really needed to be painted and finally we were able to do just that!

 It took a lot of sanding (to get all of the old paint off ) and then prep it for the new stuff. That was a job in it self. It was a lot of hard work. But it will look so nice when its done (well that's what I had to keep telling myself when I was sanding it)

Kode and I painting all the railings


and here's the finished product . . . . .

 

After a few coats of paint and lots of drying time we were finally able to get all of our outdoor furniture out and enjoy it!!

Woo hoo we are so glad to have that project checked off of our to do list!! That has been one job that we have needed to do for a few summers now and I am so glad to not have to think about it any more!!

Finally Fixed

So the boys' fort has needed to be fixed for a little while now and finally Mac was able to get it done. Its a darn good thing cause when he went to unbolt one of the screws the whole thing just fell apart right in his hand.

So now the boys and all their friends can come and swing and play on it all they want cause we have finally fixed it!!
