We are FINALLY getting our yard project underway. This has been in the works for two years now! A little DIY and a lot of help from our awesome friend, Brian and his company - Precision Edge Landscaping. We are so, so excited and Danielle got to go on a mom's night out with friends and ladies from church. She definitely deserved the night off.. Jon was left to feed and put all four girls in bed by himself though LOL!
Thanks so much for all the hard work so far, Brian!

Hey, it's hard work, but once we get it done, it's gonna be worth it.
Guys, today is a good day. We have a big
project coming up. It's not a video project. This is a house project.
And I'm so excited because we've been waiting, I've been waiting for this moment for two years now.
We've been saving money, and we've actually had money saved since the beginning of the year, but it didn't work out until now.
So we have some big plans for our backyard, and our friend Brian is coming today to help us with that.
He has a landscaping company
called Precision Edge
Landscaping. He's coming over today to help us with a yard project that we've been waiting super patiently for. I have been, John has been
busy, too busy to think about it, but I'm really excited. Can't wait to show you guys what's in store.
How's it going, Brian? How's it coming along here?
It's going great, man. Is it, so have we discovered that it's not all, like, glued together?
It's not all glued together. No, we were able to get a lot of it off.
Now, one thing I will tell you, Danielle mentioned to us that she, uh, sprayed for spiders. Uh-huh. It did nothing?
Yeah, we found a lot of spiders. Black widows? Yes.
I mean, they, like, live, they live, like, under the siding in our house, and they're, like, all over the place, so I'm not surprised about that.
Are there big ones in there?
They weren't, like, huge.
I mean, they were, like, not that big.
No, you're joking. No, I'm serious.
Black widows.
He said they're, he said they're full of them.
Oh, are they? Yeah, I was, like,
he sprayed the wall. Oh, they're,
ours got, this isn't terrible. They do terrible, Danielle.
We gotta get a different bug first.
It was over there in that corner, though, so maybe he didn't spray them.
Maybe he missed it.
Well, look, guys, here it is.
It's happening. Oh, my gosh.
I'm, like, look, yeah, I gotta be part of the crew.
I got my shirt.
I gotta put my shirt, my shirt on.
These are not, like, blocks, either. They're not?
These ones right here weigh about 80 pounds each.
Are you serious? No, I'm serious.
No joking.
I'm gonna get out here and get a little dirty
with these guys, if that's okay with you, Brian.
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Help you get some of
the stuff moved.
Well, guys,
we are, we've
been waiting, and I know Danielle already said this,
but I just want to tell you that I'm excited. Just seeing that
makes me excited. We've been,
what the heck is this?
Look at this. It's a Milky Way
stuck to,
I mean, it's not in there,
but it's, oh, my goodness, look at that.
It's, like, static
or something like that. That's funny.
It's a spooky Milky Way
bug. The Milky Way bug
is so spooky.
I promise this place isn't haunted.
Anyways, I'm excited.
I'm gonna be quiet.
I'm excited because
we've been waiting for this
for so long, too, and
I've been kind of a little more hesitant because I'm like,
that means we gotta spend the money on it, but
you know what? We gotta do this thing because our kids
are falling off. Other people's kids are falling
off. We can get changed. I'm gonna go out there
and help them for a little bit. So here's where we're putting the wall
on the side
of our house.
Nice!
He said, this sucks.
And it's gonna suck because I'm about to help them.
I don't think I'm strong enough, guys.
This is
no joke.
Now I'm a little nervous that I said
I would help. What if I'm not strong enough?
What if I'm not man enough
to do this?
Well, we're making progress.
The kids want to
come out and play now. They're home
and they can't.
So she's mad at me.
Put a happy face on.
No, you can't come out.
You can't come out. It's dangerous out here, guys.
I'm mad at you because you were taking the walls
down.
How are your pictures today?
Did they
look nice? No, you stay inside.
Even we got to say monkey.
You gotta say monkey.
Ice cream, too.
Cutie. No, ma'am. You stay here.
Okay, go back inside.
Hi, so this is me,
Tyler Murray,
and
this is me,
Ayana. I'm recording
myself after it's done.
So this is my
order of doing.
I'm watching my dad
dig up all walls
so we can have more room
to play in the sand.
And this is my
best buddy. I've been watching him
and taking pictures of him.
Then
we say hi to the man who's
digging it right there.
Spiders are...
Oh, they found some spiders.
They found some big
spiders in there.
What do you think about this?
When he's digging that, mom,
there might be spiders in there.
I don't like
spiders.
They're dangerous
and poison and they can bite you.
It's poison
and venom.
No, venom is poison.
I call them poison.
So after carrying
those blocks, the kids
are lightweight.
I'm like, I can just throw all three of them on my shoulders
right now. Those things
aren't a joke. They're literally like
80 pound blocks.
Hey, it's
hard work, but once we get it done,
it's going to be worth it.
They probably don't know what that song is.
Nobody knows that song.
Guys, this wall is
gone. Kids are no
longer going to fall off of here.
Look at it. Well, they still could,
but we're not going to let them out of here.
Thanks, guys.
Except for Elena.
There she is over there. She's helping dig.
Guys,
thank you.
This is going to be awesome. I'm excited.
I got it, guys.
Y'all get out of here. I'm glad you could get the wall
out a little bit with that thing and then y'all can
just take it back out of here.
Sure, whatever you need.
I'll pay you. So it's day two here
at Make the Murrays Great Again. We're building a wall.
Yeah, so we're excited
to get this thing moving along.
I'm collecting little yellow things.
Thanks, babe. You're doing a really good job
of that. You just spilled them all.
So here it is, guys.
There was a wall here, if you
don't remember. I wish we had done a good
before picture, but we didn't.
But I want to show you this.
I want to keep this at least
so you can see it once it's all
flattened out.
We're about to build a wall.
It's going to be huge.
Did you try to say it like Trump? Yeah. Is that it?
Did I nail it? Yeah.
I'm so
excited about this. I have been waiting for two years
bugging John.
It's been a priority for me
just to have more space for the kids
and this wall for them to not always
be climbing up there and us yelling at them.
So I am like thrilled that it's
finally being done. They're actually not for a good
portion of the day, so we've been kind of hanging out outside.
Like I said, Brian is one of our good friends.
So we've just been
chatting with them while they're working
and John's been helping some.
He's trying to pretend he's the boss.
Look at him.
So strong. Oh, I didn't know you were vlogging, babe.
Surprise, surprise.
I'm a man grunt.
You're a man grunt? We don't know.
Nobody wants to know about that.
So we have a
universal grunt.
So I have a mom's night out tonight
and I'm really excited. I'm going out with one of my best friends, Janine,
and our church mom group.
And we are going to a
great restaurant downtown
to eat good food and just enjoy each other's company.
So I'm really excited.
I haven't done that for a while. I've missed the last few.
John has a wedding to do on Saturday
which should be
a long day. Well, I guess not.
He has to go in the afternoon, so
hopefully it won't be too bad.
And then we're planning stuff for Thanksgiving.
I'm super excited. I think we've decided to have Thanksgiving
at our house with his whole family
and aunts and uncles and everything.
So that's going to be a lot. I do have to clean.
I have a lot to get ready for.
I want to try to get our house painted before
and get everything ready to have a lot of people over.
we're excited. We're excited to be into the holidays
and not have as many
video projects right now.
Now it's like we can focus on enjoying
life.
Good job, bud!
It's like that Jack Candy quote.
If sometimes I look like I'm lost,
I am.
Good one.
We're getting there.
You're just like me, Brian. I'll walk around the house and be like,
what am I doing?
Why am I walking around this house looking for things
that I don't know what I'm looking for?
Have you ever had those moments
while you're doing
weddings or whatever?
I forgot the picture of that.
My thumb hurts.
Your thumb hurts?
Hey, what happened?
You were doing a job here.
You can't quit on the job.
I'll never give you
a good reference.
Uh oh.
Don't bite them.
Well, I am
off. Now I have to get
gas. I am going to Janine's house
and then we are going to ride together
to our Mom's Night Out. I'm really excited.
The wall's getting built. John is here with all
four kids. So say a prayer
for him because he's probably going to need it.
Adelyn's over here screaming.
I'm trying to get her some food. Danielle just
left. She went on her mom hangout
date night, whatever you want to call it.
Mom's
Night Out.
Adelyn's back here screaming. We've had
Brian here
building the wall back here.
I was trying to help a little bit. Tyler was loving it.
She was loving helping. Adelyn,
come on buddy. We're almost time for dinner.
It's okay.
So I got her some sweet potatoes.
It's been
a full day. I've been working on some videos
and helping them. That's been fun.
I actually enjoy doing that.
I'm being outvlogged by
this guy.
He's outvlogging me.
His camera's way bigger.
You probably can't hear anything I'm saying.
Here's my
mom friends. Here's Janine.
Say hello.
To all of our friends.
I'm
trying to decide what to eat.
Well, I wasn't paying attention to what I was
doing and I
broke one of our bowls.
So if that's
just the beginning of how our night's gonna be, that's
might be in for
some fun.
Let me clean this up and get this kid some food.
So as I was saying earlier,
we've
had a full day here. It's been fun.
I'm so excited to get this finally done.
I didn't think I would be as excited but
now that it's actually happening and I'm seeing the
progress that we're making on the wall out there
and then just the fact that
that whole backyard is gonna be like double
the size of what we currently have.
Y'all know. You've seen what we're
working with here. It's not a whole lot back there
and it's always hard to get kids to play
because they get bored and want to climb on the wall.
So that's just gonna alleviate a lot
of problems that we
have.
One being the kids climbing on the wall and the other
being just the space to be able to let them
run and play a little bit. Have a little bit more
room to do that.
And also more room for us to host
events and things in our backyard.
That'll be nice to do as well.
Anyways, really excited
about that
and I know Daniel is. I know the kids
are. Tyler's out there helping. It's really cute. She didn't even
want to come in to eat. She wanted to just keep working.
So I like that that she has
that, you know, good work
ethic right there. So
that's our night. I'm probably just gonna get these kids
in bed here shortly. Hopefully
it won't take long to get their clothes on.
Actually I should go get their clothes while they're
eating. Brilliant.
You want more?
Or are you ready for bed?
Are you ready for bed?
What's going on here?
What are you guys doing?
Coughing and eating.
Alright, well I got everybody in bed.
Jude is awake still. Well
all the girls except for Adelyn are awake still
but they're in their rooms. They're in their beds
being quiet except for Jude.
She's kicking on the door right now so
probably need to go fix that.
But um
anyways, I'll see you guys later.
I got some work to do. We'll see you guys later.
