Hard Workers

This weekend, we had the great privelege of having both my parents here (my dad had a conference), and Shane's dad. Shane's dad flew out here to give us our Christmas present - his hard labor in our yard! We have this HUGE side lot as part of our front yard because our house is the first on a cul-de-sac. The side yard has been ugly the entire time we've lived here (not helped by the fact that we never water it in the summer). Today, Kent and Shane rented a huge rototiller, bought new fence supplies, and got to work. They tilled up about half the mound to turn into an area with bushes, trees, and plants. A post in our fence had also broken, so we decided to extend our fence out a little bit to give us some more room in our backyard. Here are some pictures of them all hard at work!

All the hard work is going to change the whole look of your yard! What a treat to have two dads/grandpas there at the same time. I can't wait to see the finished product! Be careful, and Landon, tell dad and your grandpas when to stop working. They need to give you and Davis some play time, huh? Thanks,Jessica, for feeding all the mouths that keep passing your way. Love, Christie/mom/grandma

It's good to see that Kent's shoulder healed enough for him to go and do that. What a wonderful Christmas present!! Can't wait to see the finished project.

Looks great! But just so you know, seeing this post doesn't make me very motivated to come visit if you are going to put us to work....jk.

Wow Jessica - that's awesome! Uncle Kent is so great- you're a lucky girl. Good luck with the rest of the project. What a fantastic Christmas present!
