another weekend... some more fence

Another weekend has come and gone.  We worked some more on our fence and by the end of it we're getting really good. And fast.  Its amazing all the things you learn and tricks you learn as you go. This is the first half of the fence - it goes all the way back into those trees.  We finished the other side and just have to do the posts for the gates and then slap some boards on and call it done :)  I forgot to take a picture of what the other side looks like right now.  This weekend Anthony came back for more and Kelly and Rob and their kids joined us in the morning.  Then Shawn came in the afternoon to watch the soccer game and dig some holes.  Colin has a blast playing in the pool with RJ and thinks RJ should come over ever fence day.  They were too fast to get a good picture of but I love this picture of Lucy and Kelly. 

A quick break to get Brent's stitches out.  Good thing Rob was there since Brent wanted ME to take them out for him.  Colin was very interested in it.

In the afternoon the guys started digging the holes on the other side of the house (the shorter side) but realized it was mainly clay so they went and rented an auger. Strange how it was different dirt on the other side.  I think they had more fun using that than any other power tool.  We did get that side done pretty fast.

We decided since Joel was eating dirt anyways we might as well put him in the hole this morning.

I'm not sure what they are doing but this picture makes me laugh

Brent and I worked on it today and this little guy wanted to be like his big brother and help too.

Then he decided to find the mud puddles in the yard and eat the dirt when no one was looking.  We can now picture what our fence will be like although it did make us a little sad when our neighbor came up and said she will miss seeing the boys play outside and really liked watching Brent interact with the boys.  I guess her husband never played like that with their boys - they are all grown now but she is going to miss seeing them every day.  I'll have to take the boys over from time to time to play in her yard for her.  But a big huge thank you to everyone who gave up their saturday to come help us again.  We appreciate it so much and couldnt have done it without you all.
