It all started over a month ago when Corky and I started prepping our back yard with a sprinkling system. Lots of raking, digging, pushing, pulling, and all that other fun stuff that comes along with the lovely Arizona clay! FINALLY this weekend, we were able to have some sod brought down to us. Jared, my older brother, helped us out in a serious way. We had to order the grass from St. George because there aren't any sod farms close by, and the one we were going to go through in Las Vegas fell through. So Jared helped us by picking up our rental trailer, going to the sod farm to load the grass, then driving it all the way to Kingman. Since he was coming, my mom and step dad decided to follow as well to spend the weekend with us. We love having company, and even better, my mom got to play in a softball tournament with me on Saturday.
It was a great weekend! The weather was excellent and we kept busy. Between games we were home helping Corky lay the grass! The girls had a blast with Grandpa Ron, Uncle J, Sierra, and their dog. As you can sort of see in pictures, the girls were filthy!
Everyone was so worn out but it was so worth it.
We have made full use of our lawn the last 3 days. We have enjoyed picnics, running around, and spreading out blankets to read books. Most importantly, Corky and Gracey have been practicing their golf swing!

It looks fantastic! Oooh..and I LOVE the flower picker. How great that you were able to catch it all without her knowing.
The yard looks so good! Wow what a difference to your back yard, It doesnt look like a desert waste land anymore!
Ahh So jealous! Looks beautiful! Our HOA says no grass in the back yard! How lame!
Yay! We only have a front yard, but I love it. It's so nice to spend every afternoon on the grass. it looks great!
I am so jealous!! My boys really need some grass, but I don't see it happening too soon. I think our next project is the sprinkler system for our .75 acre yard. UGH!!

Oh man, it looks so nice. I wish I had one so bad.
Your grass looks amazing! It looks like that super soft Utah grass. We don't have that around here! Will it survive the heat and dry climate??
