Where the 18 ton's ended up...and a new kitchen color

Happy Summer Boys!!! So glad you are home...now here's 18 Tons (to start) of Rock to keep you busy! Love you...enjoy! :)

We had mulch all around the house...yes, we've been here for 9 years and still no landscaping...it's a work in progress, what can I say? We have decided we don't like mulch...too much up keep!

Mark finally got the rest of the stone applied to the foundation of the house as well- which looks a millions times better, don't ya think?! It's been on his to-do list for years. He did 3 sides of the house about 6 years ago...but we just never got the back done.

Cameron and Devyn put the rocks all around the house, which wasn't the hard work, they discovered, it was the week plus of prep work... 10 hours a day, it was back breaking and so flippin' hot outside.

They were certainly missing Bryce during this project, ha ha! Cameron said, "I wish Bryce was here, it's nice to have an OX around"... Mom just had to keep the Gatoroaide and meals coming. It still all looks a little bit rough but now we can move onto other plans for around the house- the fun stuff, that being said it looks so much better already. We have to finishing painting where the wall stone was stored and that random wood beam will be painted and a horizontal slatted wood wall will be built.

We are actually going, ok we...meaning... Mark (love ya honey!) is going to build a horizontal wood fence along the stone/grass line to give more privacy to the driveway and create a courtyard feel...plants next year perhaps.

Also we finally got bored enough of the kitchen color to change it. It was a robins egg blue with a bit more green to it...loving this yellow, it's almost a butter color and the kitchen is much brighter.
