4 years later and we've got some trees!!

So we have now been in our home 4 years, and EVERY spring/summer/fall time we talk about getting some trees. We have looked many times and have just been so indecisive about it that we never came home with one. Well, that changed yesterday! I told Tony I was going to borrow our neighbors truck and we were going to come home with a tree...so we did...actually we came home with 2 trees!! YEA!!! I'm so excited for the shade...eventually...and fruit...hopefully!:) I'm also concerned that I just might kill them, but for now they look so nice!

Rhett's job was to dig out the grass and dirt from the hole.

Caleb got to pass off a requirement in his Cub Scout book for helping plant a tree! Also...in the background is our peach tree...I didn't get a picture of planting that one...so there it is. It went in the back yard.

Here's the kids with the tree...Eli really didn't help much but wanted to be in the picture anyway!:)

I walked pass the front window and had to do a double take because I thought there was someone just standing out there on our grass...but then I realized it was the tree and it looked so pretty with the sunset behind it!! The picture just doesn't do it justice!
