Our new wall

Before:
During:
After:


Ta da! We nicknamed it the Wendy Wall (long/involved/inside story but a good one). The neighbors have been very happy and complimentary which is great since for several of them it is what they see out their front door.

In other news, I was made the new Primary President today.

Yes, the "holes" in the wall are for drainage. We already found they work when we discovered the main waterline one day (which was not a tree root after all). The kids were excited about the geyser that shot higher than the house while the adults ran around trying to figure out where/how to turn the water off.

Wow Joy, congratulations!. I know that there is alot that you do as a Primary Pres. Both for the kids and for the adults. I think the adults get a big dose of the gospel in primary. Anyway, good luck. Mom P.S. The wall looks great. Hope you get many years out of it.

The wall looks great, what an accomplishment! Now, let us see a couple of views from the inside - so we have some idea how high it is in the back yard. I know the yard isn't finished- that is a good project for next year. Congratulations on your new calling, Joy. You'll be great!! Pat

The wall looks great. The new one seemed higher at first, but when I compare the "before" picture it looks the same. I hope you guys enjoy it being DONE!
And congratulations on your calling Joy. You will be wonderful. Does this mean Jason gets lots of father/daughter bonding time with Rachel during church now?

WoW to both! The wall looks great and i would be so scared , but I know you will do a fabulous job. Lucky kiddos.

I'm jealous of your new calling. I was in Primary for 7 years and really enjoyed it.

You will be a great influence for good on many children.

Nice wall! I really like the color. It looks great. Good luck with the new calling. Just when you thought you couldn't get any busier... :)

It's nice how the City put the speed bump in so people could slow down and admire the new wall

You will be a wonderful president. The kids (and adults) are so lucky to have you. I bet you will bring a good balance of fun and spirituality.
