A Real Backyard

So, it took us about a year to finally get enough money to do our backyard/landscaping the way the HOA wanted us to do it and I thought it would be fun to put pictures to show all of you the results.  We got it done in March.  Here are the before pictures:

And here are the after pictures.  We LOVE our new backyard :0)

This is where our garden is going, but Jared had to build me a planter box first.  He has since done so and I stained it and I'll have to post a picture of it a little bit later.

The kids love using the swing, especially Hadley.

Here's the picture of my front yard planters too.  I have since planted rununculus, aloe, strawberries and gardenias.
