How did I get such good neighbors??!

I have to start this story by first explaining that I was tired of the weed patch that used to be a flower garden in front of my house. It used to be pretty (I think) but I've seemed to have gotten busier over the years and it was the last on the priority list.  

So, for my birthday, I asked all my kiddos to help me pull it all out and level it and make it into a patio for a table and chairs. We started working on it in April and little by little, kept working on it.  We were still working on it in May, then June came. 

Well, during our trip to Moab, Ken Call (Chris' dad and our neighbor) decided to work on it.  While he was working on it, several other men in our ward saw him and began helping. It was completely finished when we got home. I am realistic and know without a doubt that those men did a much better job than me and my kids could have done.  It is beautiful and we love sitting out there and enjoying the neighborhood.
