C is for Concrete Blocks

Eric was talking to a co-worker the other day about how we wanted to build a concrete-stone wall in front of our house and she just so happened to have some that she was about to get rid of!! So, Friday after work Eric drove the truck to her house and picked up over 150 stones! Saturday was such a gorgeous day, so we spent most of it building (well, Eric and Tyler mostly.. I was hanging out with the baby). I did wash the cars though! Once the wall's built we can go pick out some beautiful flowers to plant. Neither of us really have a "green thumb" so Eric's mom said she'd help us out on what flowers would go best there since it's in FULL sun most of the day! I'm so excited.. it's going to look much better!

This is what the front looked like- BEFORE


Tyler ready to help.. he even has his own shovel!
Here comes the wall... AFTER
Stay tuned for the FINAL touches once we add the flowers, etc.
