Bellerive backyard coming together

We have been big talk for awhile it seems but our backyard IS really coming together.  Seph has done most of the work.  However, when the time an kids have allowed I have contributed :). Here are a few pictures for those that are curious and followers of our blog!

Note the large mound of dirt!  This picture was taken about half way thru spreading this into raised flower beds and let me tell you this was like clay mud and NOT light....especially AFTER my nine mile run Sunday - whew, glad Monday is my rest day!

See the three planned raise beds and completed firepit patio :)

This was only our "test light".  It's 9:15pm and he has left for Home Depot (imagine that)!!!  Need another "t" and "45 degree" - think we will are going with the fire pit glass stuff that's the new rave ;). So excited!!!!  We will put sod between the deck and the pit for immediate finality!  I hate waiting for grass to grow!  Ha!
