Tristan buries her brother

We have apple trees!! Yesterday while Matt was off being tortured by the Lions Club, the kids and I spent the day in Canadian (a nearby town) at the local nursery. Aunt Stephanie, Grandad, and Grandma came with us. We had a great day and bought two apple trees. They won't produce apples for several years, but we are on our way! This afternoon Matt dug the holes to plant them and the kids were a big help! We also bought a flamingo that Tristan has named, "Pagningo the flamigo". It has become her new best friend. She took it to church this morning and is sleeping with it right now. (Yes, I am talking about the plastic yard ornament!)

It was a very productive day, and we feel like we are getting closer to having the yard we want! I laid brick for the fence. I only have one more day left! I'm not sure if I've mentioned that I am laying the brick for the columns in our fence. You can see the one in the back corner of the yard in the pictures. We have six around the yard. I got three of them done last fall before the weather turned too cold. On the street side of the house there are three. We couldn't finish the fence until the columns were done, so finishing the columns means we can finish the fence!!! Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to corral Preston! I am sure that when I finally finish I will get some better pictures posted!
