Jared planted the seed and in just a couple of weeks we will see the results of his hard work!
I, of course, am talking about his grass seed in the yard, pictured behind me. After another 8 hours in the heat yesterday, our yard is offically done! The sprinklers work great, the seed is all layed and we just have to wait for the grass to grow in! Jared has worked so hard getting this all done and I can promise we'll never take our yard for granted once it comes in. Jared is excited to be able to actually relax once in a while after work and we are SO EXCITED that he'll be able to spend more time with us rather than in the yard all the time.This is a picture of the big event- spreading the grass seed!
We spent a lot of Pioneer Day working in the yard (actually Jared worked and we played in the sprinkler) but did take advantage of being able to do fireworks that night.

I always think about Derek and Danielle's blog about "inconvenient truths." One of theirs was the boys sleeping in their bed. That is one of our inconvenient truths right now. With the baby coming so soon, one of the things we wanted to get fixed was Bradley's sudden bad night habits. He's been waking up in the middle of the night screaming and since I'm SO tired I just lay him in the middle of our bed and he goes right to sleep for the rest of the night. Unfortunatley, we're having a bit of trouble breaking him of this habit.
Last week we had three big truck loads of top soil brought in and that night the kids had a BLAST climbing the mountain of dirt. They were DIRTY!!! They played out there forever though, and were in heaven the whole time.
Our baby is due in just over two weeks and we are still not ready. We are finally making progress though. Now that the yard isn't so dirty and dusty, I'm finally getting the house all cleaned up and in order. We were hoping to get the boys' room all fixed up but after a very unsuccessful yard sale adventure Saturday morning we still don't have a big bed for Bradley or a dresser to put their clothes in. I did dig out all of the baby clothes though and have them ready to throw in the wash. We still have to pick up a car seat and come up with a name.

We're also getting ready for Jared's big birthday on Friday. Mackayla is so excited to help me plan a party for him this week.
I guess this concludes my weekly update!
