Mom and Dad's Patio

Well today we all met at my Mom and Dad's to help make their new patio! (“We" meaning the whole family... Coleman, Amanda, Isaac, Adrianne, Steve, Hannah, Richard, Ethan, Hailey, Amelia, Mom, Dad and of course Me) The process was pretty crazy, but definitely a learning experience. When Richard and I first moved in with my Dad, they cut out a big patch of grass out of the back yard for the patio.


Today we had to dig a ton of dirt up, so that it would all be level and then fill it with gravel. Now that sentence was VERY deceitful, because it doesn't sound like a lot of work. However IT WAS!!!! Luckily for me Ethan needs to eat and because I am the only one that can help him with that, I was able to get out of some of the work. These are just some from pics from the day! You can see it from start to finish. The last pic is what it will theoretically look like at the end when the bricks are all laid. The plan is to finish it next Saturday, so be watching for an update!

You all look like you are having so much fun. Everyone looks great. I am so excited to hear about your new house, truck and especially Adrianne being pregnant. You guys must be thrilled with everything that is going on in your family. Keep us posted ok? I recently got a blog too so I would be able to stay in touch with a lot of people including your family. I would have commented on Adrianne's page too but it seems to me as is she does not use it very often. Keep in touch. Love, Stephanie
