Backyard Makeover Part 1
Let me paint you a picture and it isn't a pretty one... Our fence was held up with rope, twine and 2 x 4's and our railroad tie retaining wall retained nothing but water that sped up the rotting process :)
Not pretty huh? Well, you'll have to use your imagination if you haven't been to my house because I can't seem to find the "before" shots I took of the afore mentioned lovelies that were my back yard!
Moving on.....
Below are some shots of our NEW vinyl fence and stone retaining wall and stairs. It looks much, much better but the project isn't yet complete. We will be ripping out the face boards of our deck and replacing them and the stairs/ raiilings with composite decking and vinyl. Also, we'll be landscaping/planting later this summer. Can't wait for it all to be done!!!!
Neighbors pretty hydrangeas hanging over ourVinyl fence and stone retaining wall :)

4th of July Weekend
We had a fabulous 4th down in Marshfield this year. Marshfield acutally celebrates on July 3rd with amateurs lighting off "illegal" fireworks as far down the beach as the eye can see, it was a spectacular show! One of my best friends Carrie came out to Boston for work but came a few days early to spend with us. We loved having her here the entire Mullin/Hobbs clan just adores her! :) Here are some pictures of our weekend...
Carrie and Peanut snuggling :)
Oh that is some sweet cuddling!
Uh Oh Erik!!!! She's a natural!
Carrie feeding baby Eliza :)
Mullin Love :)
Mrs. R gettin' her drink on!
Brady and Holly, ready for the firework show!
Cares and Kev
Me and my handsome Grampy :)
Disclaimer: it was very humid, hence the fro of a hairdo!
