You're the man, but...

This is our first home. We bought this house 2 1/2 years ago knowing the backyard had so much potential. It's large but overgrown with weeds, and we are overwhelmed! We have great dreams for the yard, but we just don't have the know-how or money to accomplish them. First, we need more space. My husband is a youth pastor, and we would love to create a place in the backyard for the youth group to come over, especially since our house is not big enough to hold them. We also want to build a storage shed, as we have the only house with a one car garage in the neighborhood. It would be great to actually park a car in the garage. Finally, we'd love to have a play area for our 9 month old son with some trees and not to mention some grass!

It will be beautiful when they win the contest and get it fixed. It is a beautiful yard. I can hardly wait to see the makeover.

That yard is soooo bad. Terrible. Really awful. I've been in it, and there is nothing worth mentioning here. That's why I'm voting for these guys above all other reasons.

Ellen says ... on Wednesday, Aug 5 at 11:04 AM

This family needs the support of the community since they are so committed to supporting the youth of today's troubled world. The youth groups of today don't have enough williing and positive influence such as this family. Please give them the chance

Susie says ... on Tuesday, Aug 4 at 7:49 PM

Looks like your yard really needs some help. You have my vote.

i thought it was about the yards and not the kids?

Susan N says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 11:49 PM

They definitely look like they need the makeover and they seem to want to use it to help others too! Give Hudson and the church youth a place to have funnnnn!!!!

Anonymous says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 10:04 PM

Give baby Hudson a yard that he can enjoy! This is to cute!!!

Aunt Leigh Ann says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 9:40 PM

I think you guys deserve a fabulous back yard and that precious Hudson would love a great play area! I wish I could vote for you a million times because no young family deserves it more! Love you all!!

Trisha Bearden says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 5:52 PM

LOVE IT! I hope you guys get it! Kick ball in the back yard for the youth is a must! Better yet slip-n-slid! (althought your backyard didnt look to slidable :)

Anonymous says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 4:01 PM

cool you have my vote

Anonymous says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 4:00 PM

how do you vote?

PJ says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 2:12 PM

That baby sure is cute!

margholder says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 1:09 PM

I vote for these people. I do not know them personally but think it would be a waste to give this makeover to a family and then it look the same a year from now. Give to someone who could keep it up. Money and lack of time don't change.

Rebecca says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 10:47 AM

I vote you need a yard makeover! Make it a great place for the youth to meet and mingle as well as for you to enjoy as a family.

Susan says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 10:28 AM

Most definitely in need of a yard makeover!!! Hudson (and his future siblings) need a great yard to run around in, and the youth need a great yard to meet in!

Sunny says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 9:33 AM

vote for this cute family!!!!

Wren says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 7:54 AM

Hey guys we can't grow grass in our backyard either! I think God is telling us to put in a pool! Good luck neighbors! I hope y'all win so I can get some ideas for my backyard.

kenton says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 3:22 AM

Give them the win so we can come hang out at their house!!!!

Leslie says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 1:04 AM

Really cute. :)

Mad Dog says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 12:43 AM

This yard is almost as bad as that video was.

Analeigh says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 11:04 PM

I vote for these cool cats!

Melanie says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 10:31 PM

Everybody please vote to rescue brandon and kristena and Hudson's yard...it needs help and they and lots of others would really appreciate it! :)

Pat Microtch says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 10:28 PM

i say you give it to them as long as he gets rid of that thing on his chin.

Danica says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 8:23 PM

I'd say they need a yard..it's a mess!!!

Michelle Rowell says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 6:34 PM

Great folks...sad yard. I vote for them!!! Please help them to fix that sad yard up, especially for that precious baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert Coyle says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 6:07 PM

I'll come over and mow their back yard, for free. However, once I do this, it's up to the unnamed youth pastor to take the reins. Deal?

Kimmy says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 5:44 PM

I don't know how to vote.. for some reason i can't figure it out. but i am in the youth group and i vote for them and am telling everyone to because they are amazing people and really truly deserve this!!!! :)
