backyard or bust

What I have been up to is raking rocks into piles, shoveling them into a wheelbarrow, and running then up our hill and dumping them.... All for the love of my kids... The plan is to have grass next year so Anson and Lorin can play outside. I wish I would have taken pictures of what it looked like before I started to do this, you would be amazed. This picture is of what I have done so far
This is what I still need to do... I have done a little more than half
Another picture of our ground The ramp I built , I literally have to RUN up this thing and just pray that I don't fall, or make a wrong step and kill my self... Every rock you see to the right of the ramp and to the left of the weed/grass thing, I put there! my hands hurt, my back hurts and my whole body hurts, but I want my kids to play in the back yard next summer, I WANT GRASS!!! Saturday I almost killed myself, I was running up the ramp with huge load, and i lifted the handles too high and the front caught, I flew over the handles into the barrel, and we fell down the ramp together, I was scared for my life! and after the whole thing was over I got the wind knocked out of me, I was laying on the ground and Drew came up to me and said "you couldn't be that tired" he didn't see the tears rolling down my face... I am scared every time i run up that thing, but so far it has only happened once..... if it happens again, I might not live to tell the story

You have always been one to take it like a man! Dang girl, better be careful. All that yard work looks sucky.
