My FIRST Auction ....

Well, to be fair ... the wasn't exactly my first auction. As a little girl I LOVED to tag along with my dad when he went to the sale for cows. BUT ... this was my first auction as a BIDDER! That's right! Making my dad proud ... got my own bidder number and everything!
It wasn't quite the auctions my dad goes to, but it was fun! I definitely got 'bidder' fever and ended up with quite a bit! What did I end up with?? TREES! and lots of them! (much to Nate's dismay! I'm pretty sure it's the last time he'll send me to an auction by myself!!)

We brought home 20 trees and 20 bushes ... which sounds like a TON, but when you've got 2 acres to fill -- it's really not that many!

Nate and Bubba have them all planted (with the exception of a few bushes that I'm not quite sure where I want them) and it's so nice to have some trees!!

The Quaking Aspens I got were HUGE and we actually needed a tractor to load/unload them and plant them! Thankfully my dad helped us haul them and our good neighbor Kyle let us use his tractor. It was quite a task!!

I'm excited for our yard!! It's been lots of work and is not even close to being done, but is fun to see it progress!! We've had so much help from our family and friends ... it's so nice to have their support and help even when it's not exactly the funnest job!!
