A couple things we finished this year

Anywho, forever ago we did our wood floors and at that time we took the back off our bar area so that we could get rid of the swing arm chairs it came with remember??

Love my birthday present I got 8 months early from Ryan :0)



Before

We also last fall had this sad little deck that we were worried wouldn't last the winter, and since we still have a living dog, we figured we better make sure he can get out

Thank you Austin and Ryan for all your hard work!

Started it last fall, and got it just far enough that it was safe for Cooper and adults (no railings)

After

So earlier this spring it was finished!




And I LOVE it!

Also we put in tons of bark this year, it looks so pretty (these picks don't really show it off, but whateve) Ryan got horribly burned while doing this but we are so grateful for Tyler and Jason's help. I wish I took pics while stuff was still in bloom.. oh well



umm yes, red brick front, gray/blue siding back, and pink stucco sides. *sigh* someday that will change, just like the rest of the house!
