THE FENCE

We are in the process of building a fence in our back yard. We live right on Hwy. 64 and don't really have a safe place for Paisley to play outside. We have been talking about building this fence and finally took the plunge. Little did I know...my husband is quite the carpenter! We bought all the materials last weekend. Poor Paisley spent the entire day in the car and at Home Depot. Rodney drew all the plans for the fence in his program at work to figure out all the materials and how much of what we would need. We also purchased new outside doors to replace all of our old ones. We live in my grandparents house that we purchased shortly before we were married almost 3 years ago. When we bought the house we had a list a mile long of projects we wanted to tackle. We have made many updates inside, but haven't had the funds to do too much on the exterior....apparently this is the summer for those projects! Fence, doors, paint (the entire outside of the house...bring and paintbrush and join the party anyone)! We are very ready for some very much needed updates and remodeling.

This is Paisley's idea of helping with the fence. She has been very good this week, considering we have been outside every evening "helping" Daddy with the fence. We have a wagon full of blankets and toys that we take out and make our little area. In this picture she is eating some goldfish...gotta have some snacks too!

"Uncle" Colt, Uncle Jordan, and Rodney really working hard on that fence. Gotta tell some stories and of course add in some "adult beverages" and the hole digging kind of isn't quite as productive.

Here Colt and Rodney are actually working on the fence. Thanks Colt, for coming to help! Fix the boy dinner and he works!!!!

Here she is all nice and clean after a shower. Ready for bed...all of us!!!!

Yes, that is me with a power tool. I acutally handled the drill quite well my husband says. I told him I've just never been given the opportunity. Once we got the pack 'n play out for her I could actually help Rodney some.

Our little house from the back. Rodney carrying a section of fence. Our house will look so different without everything white. I can't wait to get that project started.

Here is one section all nice and complete. We actually have all of it done now except for the gate which Rodney is still contemplating how to build. So, in a week Rodney (with my supervision...hahaha!) fenced in our entire back yard for Paisley. We are all looking very forward to just letting her play without constant chasing!!!!! I will take the final pictures this week and post those soon.
