This summer will be our third in our house. Every year we try something new to make the yard better and for the past two years we haven't been so successful. We bought this house because of the yard and we are determined to make it beautiful, this is the year! We started working earlier in the spring this year which will help us beat the horrible heat of the summer. Mike has been doing most of the work on his four days and I have been helping in between work, school, studying and working with the dogs.
We started by tearing out the existing path and the rocks that surrounded it. Mike and I filled it in with dirt and seeded it for grass. The hard part is waiting and trying to play with the dogs in the back yard. 
Mike made a nice path on the side of the house which took away the dogs mud pit and made a nice place for the recycling center and garbage can. We also added to an existing patio off of our main patio that will be a great spot to put the barbecue.
There will be a raised patio in the corner of the yard complete with a fire pit, and the horseshoe pits will be moved for better viewing and heckling.
I will be sure to post more pictures as we make progress.

LOL, could Cassius get any grumpier in those pics!?
Good luck on the yard, I still can't find the energy to pooper scoop most weeks, much less tear out paths and build patios.
And I see the third Musketear now. She's a cutie!
Dad get's all the fun and all get to do is shovel the dirt. Love the pictures
