Tysen stayed with the kids while we went to get him stitched up, and finished up the rock. Now we just have to put the sand in to keep it all together, and the projects are almost done!

Ugh, that isn't good!! Glad it wasn't worse though. However, the firepit did turn out looking great!

Firepit looks great!!! Almost as good as your mom's, but not quite. You just can't beat the work or She'Ra and her side kick!! But seriously, glad the hard part is done and Travis is ok!

Wicked cool cut. Way to get a recordable on the job site! The backyard looks gorgeous. You guys did an amazing job on it, and he will now have the scar to prove it!
