The lawn is going in!!

Well, we are getting the lawn put in and I am thrilled. Over the last week or so since I've been home we have gotten several truck loads of top soil and had someone spread it all over the front and back of the house. Then Andrew's guys have watered, raked and compressed and watered, raked and compressed until they are sick of it, I'm sure. Last night the guy came and did the seeding and put on fertilizer and raked and compressed some more. They only got the front yard done. I imagine they will get the back yard done tonight or sometime this weekend. YAY!!!
Here are Drew and Grant using the "compresser", it is a metal roller full of water. Andrew is going to spread the extra rocks that you see at the top of the picture all along the same semi circle of rocks that is already there.
I was on the deck taking pictures and looked down and saw Tyler, so I called him and then snapped the picture.
Sorry this picture is blurry. Taylor was too busy riding his bike through the mud puddles to help with the lawn. :) This makes the backs of their shirts covered with mud because the mud splashes up from off the back tire. :( Pray that I will someday get all this laundry done. :)
