Putting in a Patio!

The last few days have been crazy over here as we decided to put in a patio in our backyard! FINALLY...we have been talking about doing something for the last couple of years, and we decided it was time to start being able to actually enjoy our backyard. So, earlier this week, they begun breaking ground :)

We still have a ways to go to get it all finished, but we are just excited to have more than 3 feet of patio in our backyard to hang out on. And Reed is excited to be able to walk around without mommy being paranoid of strange bugs & ants that could get him!

Eventually, we will build a sunroom over half this patio connected to the house (I'm excited to decorate a sunroom! And it will be so nice to hang out in a open & airy outdoor room without any bugs!), but for right now, we just have a really big patio to enjoy! :) Here are some pics of the project:

Reed LOVED the Bobcat...he was mesmerized!

Salt finish...I think it will turn out pretty cool!
