Can you tell how excited I was? As soon as the truck pulled around to the back field I ran out and took the picture. I think the driver was afraid I might hug him or something.
There were about 10 of these crates scattered around the yard. I'm not sure if Wade is hugging the sod or taking a nap after realizing how much work was ahead.
We have the most awesome neighborhood. Originally we were planning to lay the sod on Saturday when lots of help was available. Then we found out it was going to snow all day Saturday so we made a quick change to Friday- while all of our help was at work. Jace & Makenna got home from school just as we were starting & gathered up some of the neighborhood kids to help. I wish I would have gotten a pic of Kenna hauling those rolls of sod. She's such a tiny thing, but boy is she tough. She was heaving those things around like nothin. And trust me they were HEAVY! My back still hurts.
We are so glad Wades dad is retired. He is always helping us out (the poor guy). He's the first one to show up when we need help- Thanks Wayne! And that's my handsome nephew Dallas behind him.
Wade & Jacer boy working together.
Jordan & his buddies (aka "The Main Men") saved the day. Things were a bit slow movin til they came after school. They slapped that sod down in no time. We were so thankful! This is buff Jordan and Rambo.
My dad Dennis who got work off to help. Thanks dad!
Some of "The Main Men"- Dallas, Jon, Zack, Seth, Richard, and Rambo. Jordan has the best friends. I love these guys!
And of course, the best part: Lasagna!! They sure did deserve it!
Funny how Shenay & Marquie just happened to show up right at the end for the food. What a coincidence! Just kidding, they were at a 3 hour soccer practice so I suppose they deserve it too!

Hooray for you guys! I am so excited for you guys! I cannot wait to see it in person! All the work that led up to it was amazing, you guys deserve it! Love you!
Hooray! You need to post more pictures of the finished product though...it looks SO great! You have a BEAUTIFUL home AND yard! Glad you had some help! Sorry we couldn't be there, but Asian Star was fantastic!!! Thanks for the fun! Good job not tipping the valet parking $20! ;)
What a thrill to have grass in the back yard. What a wonderful experience to have such great young men around to help. With all the bad news we constantly are bombarded with this is total verification that there are angels among us and they are dirty young men, not afraid of work and so valiant. And dirty old men as well, don't we love those dads and grandpas willing to do anything and everything for the kids and grand kids. How blessed we are.
Oh that is so great Dane! I can't wait to come and see it! I might just drive by right now to see! And I second the beautiful home and yard comment from Kate! Especially those adorable Halloween decorations inside! Love ya!
What a great place for a family party! Sorry I wasn't around to help though. Love ya!
Thanks for ALWAYS feeding Shenay. Your yard looks awesome!
I'm happy for you! Everyone still misses you and your cute family!
What a cute post Dayna! I hope my kids have good friends when they are teenagers too.
Congrats on the new grass!
I love Rambo. And boy do I ever have HANDSOME nephews!
Hooray for grass!!! We miss you all so much!!! Hey I have a question also. Kacie was saying they might start up the adult dance class again in January. How would I go about joining? I don't really know if I should. I haven't danced in like 10 years, but it would be fun. Let me know. Tell the kids hi!!!
Ha ha I am going to be there tomorrow! I've been being lazy. Yesterday when I got Jared's text I just started laughing but I was so glad that you wanted me to be there with you! So I promise promise I will be there. Oh and P.S. Yay for the green grass!
Dayna, from your comment on my post, I sense some longful reminiscing for the time when your kids were little. (:
About the BYU/Utah party, Kev might be watching it with some friends from work, but if he's not, we'd love to come! Thanks!
Holy Cow.
I know how you felt... We just got our back yard done this year as well and I was so happy to see green ! Next year we will do all the trees and plans and a water fall but untill next year Im happy !
I wish you would have hugged the driver. It looks great. Isn't the saying "many hands make light work" so very true? I am glad that you have a backyard now to mow and weed ;) Have fun!
Hey Dayna! It's your cousin, Amanda, Amanda Jo Sandall Tuckett! O can't believe how big your kids are! They are so cute/handsome/pretty! Anyway, I found you from Shayla, i'm glad i can see what you're up to.
