Wow, Its been a while since I have blogged. It has been a great summer so far! A few weeks ago Casey and I decided to clean up our patio in the backyard, so we could actually enjoy it. I cleaned most of the junk out and swept it really well. We had an old sink/countertop that was left here when we bought the house that we got rid of. At first we thought we would use it, but it was less convenient than we hoped. So after moving everything out of the patio, we pur out pressure washer to use!! It was very exciting to see all the dirt and grime come right up! Casey sprayed the concrete and the walls. It made such a BIG difference. Then he put his creativity to work and made a charcoal grill out of the non- working gas grill that is cemented into the ground. Now we can grill! YAY! We grilled out for the first time on memorial day! It was a blast. Tim, Sandi, Mom and Dad came over. We had burgers, baked beans, Lays chips, and a Raspberry Limade Cake. Very good! It was Casey's first time to ever grill out. We are still getting used to how HOT the grill gets and how quickly the burgers cook. We both really like the charcoaled flavor though... as long as its not charred. :) He did great though!
We also have tiki torches around the patio to keep bugs out! About a week ago, Casey added a light and ceiling fan out there too! He loves finding new ways to add to the house. It's wonderful having a live-in electrician.
Here you can see how clean the concrete is. It used to be very splotchy and light shade of brown. Wes and Stacy Boster gave us this swing for Lyla. She really enjoys it.

Casey found a neat and handy place to hang his grilling tools! He's so clever.
Ceiling fan Casey put in. It makes a huge difference!
