It's not summer if the Nelson's aren't doing some kind of yard project. This year we have the unfortunate task of finishing our backyard. I say 'unfortunate' only because we have a solid acre back there! Lucky for us, we got smart and decided this year because of wee-man, we were just going to contract out the work.
I can honestly say I had very little to do with the design - this is all my brainiac construction worker of a husband. I give little input here and there, but this has been his project. I'll be honing down on Ryker's play area, my garden, and the flower gardens :)
This is our progress thus far...
April 25th, we broke ground!
Here the concrete forms were back filled with sand in preparation for the mud

| Fire pit area |
Above, the backyard has been x'd out and more concrete forms have been placed for the fire pit area, lower patio, and the sidewalk conjoining the two things.

May 8th - the concrete has been poured!
It looks better than I had envisioned it!
Next up for this week is curbing (where my flower beds will be), sprinklers, and... GRASS!!
You will have the most amazing backyard!! I am super envious!!
