Our Tree!

A storm took out part of the tree in out front yard (half of the tree fell over in April and almost fell on Corey!) and we decided it had to go!
It was diseased in the middle, anyway!
So we had it taken out and our front yard looked so big but so empty!
Well, handy guy that Corey is, he spent some time researching the best tree to replace our old one. He went down to Lowe's, bought a Sissoo tree and planted it himself, all while having the girls "help," which we all know meant a lot of extra work!
Ashlyn was very proud of her new tree and loved showing it off and telling people she helped plant it! I'm proud of Corey for knowing how to do that himself and doing a great job!

Wow - research and everything! Ryan would do just the same thing. He always has to know he's buying the BEST one, whatever it is. :) I can't believe what a difference a tree makes! Your place looks really different without it! The new one is going to be beautiful, and planted with lots of love!
